Throughout the history of popular liberation struggles, there
has been significant Jewish participation. This participation has been
sabotaged by the historic and progressive ethnic cleansing of Palestine
by the state of Israel.
In Argentina between 1978 until 1982 the Israeli government, the
Jewish Agency and other official groups have curbed the immigration
solicitations of Jewish leftists whose lives were in danger in order to
maintain good commercial and political relations with the military
dictatorship in power. In the same period, Israel realized the sale of
arms valued around one thousand million dollars with Argentina. Likud
as well as leaders of the Labor party were directly complicit in this
plot of silence.
Zionism, the founding ideology in Israel, has it's roots in the era of European colonization and disseminated a continuation of Nazi genocide. Zionism grew in the most violent and oppressive events of the nineteenth century, weakening the numerous Jewish militant liberation struggles. Honoring those struggles and to reclaim the spaces of those vibrant popular movements of our time, Zionism and all of it's forms need to be abandoned.
Today we march in solidarity with the memory of the victims of Argentinian state terror in the monstrous years of repression and also as Jewish with the people of Gaza and all of Palestine, victims of Israeli state terror, expulsion, oppression, torture and assassination during the last 70 years.
