Our stance on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict

We offer a range of pro-Palestinian t-shirts that depict various forms of radical resistance as a means of expressing solidarity with the Palestinian cause. These designs may include imagery related to armed struggle, but it’s crucial to clarify our stance and purpose. We aim to raise awareness about the ongoing Palestinian struggle for self-determination and to challenge misconceptions about our stance on the complex situation in the region. We firmly emphasize that our support for radical resistance does not extend to endorsing acts of terrorism. We unequivocally condemn any form of violence that targets innocent civilians.

 

Solidarity with the Palestinian people and fuck the Hamas!

In a world where the struggle for justice and liberation is ongoing, it is crucial to express our unwavering support for the Palestinian people in their quest for self-determination and freedom. We stand in solidarity with those who face the daily hardships of occupation and dispossession, and we affirm the importance of radical resistance against such oppression.

However, our stance comes with a clear condemnation of Hamas, or any other organization that employs violence and barbaric terrorism, deliberately targeting innocent civilians and children. We believe that resistance against oppression is essential, but it should be rooted in principles of justice, humanity, and morality. The use of violence against civilians undermines the just cause of the Palestinian people and only serves to perpetuate the cycle of suffering against innocent civilians on both sides.

The number of deaths on the Israeli side after the terrorist attacks from Hamas is over 15 times more than the number of American deaths following the 9/11 attack from Al-Quaida, on a per-capita basis. Anarchists would never have supported the 9/11 attacks, and it is perplexing that some of our comrades hesitate to similarly condemn Hamas. We must remain consistent in our rejection of violence that targets innocent civilians, regardless of the context, in our pursuit of justice and a better world.

 

75 years of suffering

The current situation in Israel is indeed marked by a high level of tension and suffering, which some may argue has parallels to the long-standing plight of Palestinians over the last 75 years. Israelis now experience the unsettling impact of sporadic violence, living under the shadow of potential threats, and the emotional toll of constant fear and insecurity. Such a situation, while not identical, resonates with aspects of the daily suffering endured by Palestinians throughout decades of conflict, including the hardships brought about by occupation, restrictions on movement, and the loss of innocent lives. It’s important to recognize that empathy and understanding of the experiences of both Israelis and Palestinians are crucial in striving for a peaceful resolution to the complex and deeply rooted issues in the region.

The deliberate restriction of essential resources such as water, food, and electricity in Gaza is a grave violation of human rights and has brought untold suffering to its civilian population, particularly its innocent children. It is crucial to emphasize that these children are in no way responsible for the actions of Hamas or any other political entity. The denial of basic necessities, which affects the most vulnerable, is an affront to the very principles of humanity and decency. Such tactics of collective punishment are not only morally indefensible but also counterproductive to the pursuit of lasting peace. It is incumbent upon the international community to address this situation and ensure that children in Gaza, and all civilians, are spared from the dire consequences of these restrictions, with their rights to life, dignity, and well-being upheld and protected.

 

We support all forms of resistance, but not targeting innocent civilians

It is essential to recognize that radical resistance can take many forms, from nonviolent protest and civil disobedience to grassroots organizing and international solidarity movements. These methods have proven effective in various struggles for justice throughout history and have the power to mobilize global support for the Palestinian cause. We encourage and endorse these avenues of resistance and call upon the international community to actively support the rights and aspirations of the Palestinian people.

We firmly support the right of the Palestinian people to engage in various forms of resistance to assert their fundamental right to self-determination and freedom. This includes their right to engage in protests, resistance, civil disobedience, and international advocacy. Additionally, we acknowledge that in the context of prolonged occupation and suffering, some may resort to armed struggle as a means of resistance. However, it is crucial to emphasize that we condemn any actions that intentionally target innocent civilians, even in retaliation to similar acts of aggression from the other side. Of course, this means that we also strongly condemn the Israeli bombing of civilians.

 

The Hamas does not represent the Palestinian people

It’s important to recognize that the actions and policies of Hamas do not reflect the diverse views and aspirations of the entire Palestinian population. Around 50% of the population of Gaza is under 18 years of age. The Hamas seized control of Gaza 17 years ago, which means that half of the population was only around 1 year old when it happened. Therefore, it would be incorrect and misleading to conclude that the Gaza population is supportive of Hamas and we can’t blame children for being responsible for the actions of a minority of terrorists.

While Hamas claims to represent the Palestinian people, their actions and strategies are often a subject of contention and debate within Palestinian society. We are firm believers that the “Free Palestine” slogan also means to free the Palestinian people from the oppression of terrorist groups like Hamas.

 

In this long-lasting conflict, it’s always the Palestinian people who pay the price

Throughout the long and painful history of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, it is an unfortunate reality that the Palestinian people have disproportionately borne the tragic consequences of this ongoing struggle. The indiscriminate targeting of Palestinian civilians, whether as a result of military operations or other violent acts, has resulted in a significantly higher loss of life on the Palestinian side. It is crucial to acknowledge that such violence against innocent civilians is a grave violation of human rights and undermines the prospects for a just and lasting resolution to the conflict. Furthermore, the actions of groups like Hamas exacerbate the hardships faced by the Palestinian population, increasing the price they pay for the protracted conflict. As we reflect on this history, it becomes evident that the cycle of violence perpetuates suffering on all sides, with the civilian population, particularly Palestinian civilians, often finding themselves caught in the crossfire. This underscores the urgent need for a comprehensive and peaceful resolution that respects the rights and lives of all individuals in the region.

In the interest of preventing further civilian casualties and mitigating the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, there is a pressing need for the establishment of a humanitarian corridor to safely evacuate civilians before any potential invasion by the IDF. Such an initiative could provide a lifeline for the countless innocent individuals, including children, the elderly, and the vulnerable, who are currently trapped in the midst of the conflict. It is a moral imperative that the international community acts swiftly and decisively to ensure the safety and well-being of those who find themselves caught in the crossfire of this perilous situation.

The understandable hesitation of the Palestinian people in Gaza to leave their homes stems from a well-founded fear of history repeating itself in the form of another Nakba. Throughout the Palestinian experience, we have witnessed the tragic reality that those who were once displaced from their homeland were seldom granted the right to return. Moreover, what were initially intended as temporary refugee camps often evolved into permanent settlements, leaving generations of Palestinians in protracted displacement. This historical context underscores the deeply rooted apprehension of the people in Gaza when it comes to evacuating their homes, highlighting the urgent need for a comprehensive and lasting resolution that addresses these legitimate concerns and ensures their rights and well-being.

 

Conclusion

In conclusion, our stance is rooted in a profound commitment to justice and solidarity with the Palestinian people in their struggle for self-determination. We condemn terrorism and violence against civilians on both sides, and we advocate for a world that rejects imperialism and oppression, championing the principles of autonomy and nonviolent resistance as the path to a more just and equitable future for all.

Our perspective is deeply anti-government, anarchist, anti-war, and anti-imperialist. We firmly reject the notion of governments and military powers dictating the fate of nations, and we oppose any form of colonialism, occupation, or imperialism that seeks to dominate and oppress others. We advocate for a world where self-determination and autonomy are cherished, where individuals and communities are free to chart their own destinies, and where conflicts are resolved through peaceful means and dialogue rather than violence.

    $800 raised for the National Network Of Abortion Funds

    The Supreme Court decision has taken away the ability of people to control their own bodies and turned that power over to politicians. Women’s rights are also being rolled back by authoritarian, rightwing, populist regimes in many countries. Fundamentalist and extremist ideologies use women’s bodies to define the boundaries of their values and beliefs, whether they are in the U.S. or Afghanistan.

    The overturning of Roe V. Wade is a violation of women’s human rights. The World Health Organization recognizes abortion as an essential aspect of healthcare. 20% of all women will have an abortion in their lifetime. This is an undermining of the most basic freedom and most intimate decision of a person’s life: when or whether or with whom to have a child.

    This attack against our freedoms is a call to action. And the key message is —ALWAYS— if we organize, we can change this world, and we need to. Time and time again it has been demonstrated that radical feminist movements are the most powerful way to advocate for and protect women’s rights. Take action, raise your voice, join the protests, and fight for women’s rights.

    $800 raised for the National Network Of Abortion Funds

    Through 2022, proceeds from the sales of our t-shirts raised $800 of donations to the National Network of Abortion Funds, a social justice organization that aims to increase access to abortion for low-income people with over 80 grassroots organizations in 38 states and 4 different countries.

    Changes in product prices starting May 2

    As of May 2, our product prices will, unfortunately, need to increase. Generally speaking, the reasons for this are current inflation rates, global issues with supply chains due to COVID-19, and price increases from our suppliers. Our sales have also been trending down compared to previous years.

    For us, this has meant an increase in costs within our supply chains. We have thoroughly reviewed our options and this is the result: from May 2, we will increase product prices on the platform, with increases varying by item.

    More background on the product price changes

    Cotton prices are up: Global consumption is expected to reach record levels this year, exceeding available supply. Unfortunately, this also applies to products in the coming years. Want to know more? You can find more information here:

    Inflation in the USA and in Europe is causing prices to rise all over the world. For an overview of inflation in NA and the EU, click here:

    Another reason for adjusting our product prices is the current peak in energy prices. This impacts the cost of producing and delivering our products.

    10 servers and 30 activist websites hosted by NGNM Cooperative

    After its successful first year online, the Anarchist Federation Network has now migrated to its own dedicated server. Following the launch of the project in 2020, the website went from a single site to an international platform available in 9 different languages and 9 sites, one for each language. In total, the number of sites hosted on this server exceeded thirty and the server was constantly overloaded. An upgrade was required to correct this problem. A new server was therefore added to the network, allowing AnarchistFederation.net to have its own dedicated server to host the 9 sites of the platform.

    Our network now has 10 servers in total, which are fully funded by the NGNM coop, which hosts more than thirty activist sites free of charge. This logistical and financial support also includes web development, web design, backend programming, 24/7 system administration, cybersecurity, and technical support. These services normally reserved for professionals are made accessible to the activist community through the sales of t-shirts.

    The Anarchist Federation Network is a self-managed federation of anarchist websites. It is collectively managed by its members and has its own forum for collective decisions.

    Lower prices and free shipping on everything!

    After 2 very difficult years, we finally have some good news to share with you! We are reducing all prices by 20% in addition to offering free shipping on ALL orders! This is the biggest promo we’ve ever done.

    Since the birth of the cooperative in 2009, the goal has always been to offer the lowest prices possible so that our clothes are affordable for everyone. Despite the increase in the cost of living, we have always chosen to absorb any increase in expenses to avoid passing the bill on to those who buy our t-shirts.

    But in January 2020, our supplier had a huge price increase of over 30%. This change forced us to increase our prices for the first time in our history. The price of a t-shirt went from $15 to $18 and it also reduced the store’s margin which absorbed part of the increase.

    Bad luck over bad luck, the Covid-19 pandemic began a few weeks later, causing our shop to shut down during a critical period. Even after the reopening, our sales fell, causing heavy losses. Let’s remember that NGNM cooperative funds a multitude of activist organizations and also the web hosting of 30+ anarchist websites, so we have to maintain a certain level of sales to be able to pay the fixed expenses. The store was therefore forced to cut spending and take a break from announcing new donations.

    Since the unfortunate price increase, our top priority was to find a new supplier and work on the web development of the IT platform which bridges the website and the printer. Today, we finally have a solution to reduce prices!

    To celebrate this news, we are offering you the lowest prices in our history! In addition, the required minimum of $50 has been removed, so free shipping is now available on all orders regardless of the number of items!
