On Friday 3/10, following the call of the Coordination of activity for
the defense of Exarcheia, an anti-Zionist intervention took place in the neighborhood of Exarcheia. More than 100 comrades took part in the intervention, while throughout its course, the body, moving in a march through the streets of Exarcheia, filled the walls and streets with pro-Palestinian/anti-Zionist posters, sprays, stencils and trikes,
distributed texts, while at the same time various interventions were
carried out in hotels and accommodations of Israeli (and non-)
interests.

Exarcheia is not a neighborhood where Zionist discourse is expressed with great ease in the public space, due to the broader political characteristics of Exarcheia and the pro-Palestinian actions of the neighborhood’s assemblies/initiatives. Nevertheless, Israeli capital has settled in the neighborhood mainly through hotels/accommodations. The sharp increase in Israeli real estate and Israeli tourist investments in Greece, centered on the center of Athens, strengthens the economy of the murderous state of Israel, contributing to the resilience of the Israeli
economy. All this at a time when Israel continues to ruthlessly
ethnically cleanse and genocide the Palestinians. At the same time, the existence of Israeli capital in downtown neighborhoods, such as
Exarcheia, seeks to make Exarcheia a safe place, both for Zionists in
general and for the Israelis who actively participate in the genocide of the Palestinian people.

The squat at the School of Biology (“To Steki sto Viologiko”)

Squats have always represented breaths of freedom for radical movements, serving as spaces for meeting, political discussion, and the housing of various initiatives. For these reasons, they have always been a thorn in the state’s throat, and thus a frequent target of repression. The Squat at the School of Biology was first occupied in 1987 by students, becoming a new social space for expression. From the very beginning and for the next 34 years, its character and activity were diverse and multifaceted. Groups with different traits and ways of action coexisted within the same space, united by the core values of solidarity and self-organization.Over the years, the space hosted student, theatre, radio, and political initiatives, as well as radical bookstores. It was a venue for countless coffee gatherings, collective cooking, book presentations, film and documentary screenings, Greek language classes for immigrants, self-defense courses, and more. It also became a landmark in Greece’s, and not only Greece’s, DIY music scene.

The squat supported many political and social struggles, including those of students, conscientious objectors to military service, and political prisoners, often raising funds to cover judicial and medical expenses in the spirit of solidarity. Functioning as an active meeting point and forum for discussion in the city, it formed a living cell within the University.
