On the evening of January 5th, we chose to target the Bob W Akadimia Athens in the Exarcheia area at 4 Zalongou Street, a hotel with Israeli interests. This action was obviously carried out to support the resistance in Palestine against the murderous state of Israel and to target Israeli capital in our country, but a reason could not exist here without taking into account the gentrification of this particular neighbourhood and the tourism in it aimed at bending the resistance that Exarcheia has had as its roots for many decades. Through gentrification, the neighbourhood is aimed at becoming a middle-class amusement park and ultimately at changing its class status, driving out the residents and activists who live and operate in it.
As far as the Palestinian question is concerned, we understand our obligation to act from our own position and place.
As anarchists, we must stand in practical solidarity with the people of Palestine, show that, contrary to the bigotry and the “puppet government”, Greek society is on the right side of history, which has also been shown by the magnificent demonstrations that have been held in this country from 7/10 on wards.
By targeting and sabotaging Israeli objectives and creating a financial burden on Israeli investment, we are making our neighbourhoods unsuitable for Israeli capital development.
We have no illusions, we do not believe that the destruction of the windows of a hotel will injure the “giant” Israel. However, if such actions become a daily routine in our city centres and neighbourhoods, a situation of aggravation and tension will be created which could reach a point capable of damaging the Zionist state financially.
So the big wager is to become the “internal enemy” (using the terminology of the state itself) which, with constant attacks and interventions against the Greek state-participant in the genocide, the large multinationals that support the genocide, but also against Israeli interests, they will manage to transfer the war to the killer countries of NATO and the EU.
Let’s express international solidarity against interstate rivalries in which the only loser in every geographical location of the earth is the people, and attack, even with the simplest means, those who commit genocide.
A fighting greeting to those who resist the attempt to normalize death.
People win gun in hand and Palestine knows this very well.
