Palestine is more than just headlines. Palestine is our homeland, our history, and our future.
It is the grandmother’s hands kneading dough with the aroma of za’atar and warm bread filling the room. It is the sight of children playing beneath our sacred, old as time olive trees. It is songs carried from village to village, and memories that have proven time and again more resilient than their bombs.
Yet today, the very hands that kneaded dough are tragically buried beneath the rubble. Children are being systematically starved, their innocence stolen by deliberate deprivation. Hospitals, once sanctuaries of healing, now lie in ruins. Journalists, striving to bear witness, are targeted, assasinated, preventing the world from seeing Israel’s full truth. Entire families, generations of history are being erased from existence. This horrific reality unfolds daily before a world that observes in chilling silence and complicity.
It is precisely this unbearable reality that compels us, here in Upper Swabia, to organize.
We have organized since late 2023 against dehumanization, censorship, and German complicity. Through protests, lectures and reading circles we hope to build solidarity and grow as a community.
You don’t want us here, and they don’t want us there, and there is occupied by them, and them won’t let us return. Don’t send him anywhere, but Palestine -if you dare.
