The Ben Atar squat in Tel Aviv was evicted today by many policemen, undercover detectives and border policemen.

The squaters were waken up very early in the morning by a massive amount of police that broke into the house and evicted the squaters.


The house was the only squated house in Israel and with this eviction lost the anarchist community in Israel one of it's most important centers.

Wording on Protestors' placards are for GLBTH

The placards in the picture you posted titled "protestors" read "no gender" and "rainbow equality" (rough translation) which would lead one to think that the protestors are from the GLBTH community. Nothing to do with anarchists and not sure how they're connected (if at all) to the squat.

so where's the solidarity????!!!!!

sure, israel is an occupying force - so the hell are "we" - us Brit's happy to piss on our anarchist friends in Israel cos their state is a baddie. Well wakey wakey people, so is this one. In fact, let me get my history straight - anyone know the uk involvement in the occupation of palestinian, in fact the creation of the state of israel?

For 100 points - what areas of the world is the UK currently occupying? Answers on the back of a postcard.

Personally - as an anarchist born in the uk i do not expect to be held accountable for all of the actions of my so called government. Especially as i've committed my time, energy and life force to resisting them.

Really people. Israeli's can't be anarchists??? Why????? We aren't supposed to show them solidarity when their squats are being evicted???

So when there's a spanish eviction we'll bring up Franco? When there's a French eviction we'll bring up nazi collusion? When there's a German eviction we'll bring up Hitler? When queers are going to Serbia we'll bring up Bosnia, Kosovo etc?

As an asian queer i put a lot of energy into palestinian activism and solidarity, but not at the expense of solidarity with the israeli anarchists.

Oh yeah - whoever roughly translated the banners. Never heard of queer anarchos????

Really - we need to re-think our interactions with Israeli anarcho's and queers - with each other. And firstly, we need to look more closely at what's around us, the actions of "our state" before we start determining that Israeli anarchists are not to be supported on uk indymedia.

I'm ashamed.............

of course not

Of course not. It's only Israel--and Jews--that matter to the radical left and right.
