The state of israel murders. The greek state is complicit (Greece)

The State of Israel murders

For 77 years it has been displacing, pillaging and exterminating the Palestinian population. Incessantly following the nationalist and expansionist Zionist ideology, it has established an apartheid regime against the arab inhabitants. It is pursuing a policy of colonialism, constantly expanding its territory. For the last year and a half, it has been carrying out a genocidal operation in the Gaza Strip, killing tens of thousands of people and driving them to starvation, with the declared aim of removing them completely from the area by any means necessary. At the same time, it is demolishing refugee camps in the West Bank, maiming and murdering people in struggle and directing the atrocities of the settler militias. At international level, it applies the doctrine of ‘preventive war’ and has, in the last year alone, launched police-style warfare operations in Lebanon, Syria, Yemen and, most recently, Iran.
The Greek state is complicit
In its effort to increase its geopolitical power and serve its national interests, it is Israel’s most willing and loyal ally in the Mediterranean region, providing full cooperation at the political, military, energy and economic levels. If there is anything left to do in this grim situation, it is to undermine the plans of the Greek state and Israeli interests in Greece.

Dozens of comrades joined the second day of the gatherings taking place at the courts of the courts of Evelpidon on the occasion of the supplementary investigative procedure for those prosecuted in the Ampelokipi case. Shortly before 9am, EOM(Special Suppressive Antiterrorist Unit )transport transported comrade Dimitra Zarafeta and comrade Dimitris to the interrogator in building 9.

Anarchist comrade Dimitra submitted a memorandum with her positions and spoke about the fabricated indictment and answering a clarifying question from the interrogator about some of the findings of the anti-terrorist investigation.

Comrade Dimitris then submitted his own memorandum that deconstructed the flawed indictment and also answered a clarifying question from the interrogator.

According to information they each received from the investigator, the case file is expected to be closed in the near future as they do not have to wait for any other evidence.

The process ended shortly after 12.30, when the comrades gathered approached the two comrades and, shouting slogans, accompanied them to the transporter cage.

We will be back again tomorrow, Thursday 25/09 at 8:30 when the supplementary interrogation process will continue with the anarchist comrade Nikos Romanos and A.K.

She submitted the memorandum with her positions and explained that she would testify in court about everything related to the case.

Position of prisoner Giannis Karatsolis from malandrinou prison ( fokidas , Central Greece)

After more than 2 years’ confinement, the time has come for me to take a stand. In fact, the need to publish this text arose from the first moment of my arrest, however, personal reasons from the nature of the initial charges that weighed on me to confinement itself, have been an obstacle.

My arrest took place on 18/01/23 after a police raid on my home, as well as the homes of 6 other people with whom I had exclusively friendly/social relations. In an attempt to build and inflate the conspiracy against us, unrelated things were thrown together, with the aim of charging us with forming a criminal organization, a charge that – although ultimately dropped along with many others – was necessary for the authorities to secure our pretrial detention, but also to create impressions of an alleged great success of the ELAS ( greek police).

During the search that took place at my home on the day of my arrest, the following were found and confiscated: 2 wigs, books, brochures of the anarchist/anti-authoritarian space and other personal items such as clothes, shampoo, etc. Obviously the above were not sufficient to detain me and then a series of methods began, starting with the dictated identifications that the Patras Security Service secured in order to carry out its job.

(Greece) 1 year after the loss of Kyriakos

Almost 12 months have passed since 31/10/2024. Therefore, the Solidarity Assembly for fugitives, persecuted and imprisoned fighters, in Athens, Greece, is considering to organize two days of action and in memory of our comrade.

During our first discussions around the topic, and while in contact with comrade Mariana Manoura, we came up with the idea of an event (Thursday 30th October) about other comrades who have lost their lives in similar ways during the past, hopefully with the participation of comrades from other countries with similar experiences.

We aim for these two days to end with a demo (Friday 31st October) in memory of the armed fighter Kyriakos Ximitiris. Continue reading (Greece) 1 year after the loss of Kyriakos

Solidarity with the rebels in Indonesia by Anarchist collective Acte (Athens,Greece)

 Solidarity with the rebels in Indonesia

During the summer, mass protests took place in various parts of Indonesia against new austerity measures, tax increases and salary increases for members of parliament, whose salaries are 30 times higher than the minimum wage.

On August 28, during a protest rally, an armoured police vehicle runs over 21-year-old Affan Kurniawan, killing him. Affan worked as a delivery boy and was on his way to deliver food. After that, an unprecedented uprising broke out across the country. Police stations were destroyed, local parliaments and government buildings were burned, and politicians’ homes were looted. To buy time, the state declared that it would reduce the privileges of the political elite while at the same time intensifying repression and bringing the army on to the streets. So far, there have been 10 dead, dozens missing, hundreds injured, and thousands arrested. Despite government promises and repression, the flame of the uprising does not seem to be extinguished.

October is a month of remembrance and action for the anarchist revolutionary Kyriakos Xymitiris by Dimitra Zarafeta, Marianna Manoura (Grrece)

As long as there are those who are lost in battle, we will exist to continue the war

And when we die, we die like stars scattering light. Like that light that shone a year before the explosives explosion in the Ampelokipi apartment on 10/31, when the anarchist armed fighter Kyriakos Xymitiris was walking the last part of his journey, where everything is condensed into a moment, where his revolutionary consciousness aligns with the desire to put an end to this aging world that feeds on his flesh.

Filled with immense comradeship, determination and with no inclination to retreat, he committed himself to the struggle with a vision of freedom. With clear eyes, comrade Kyriakos Xymitiris made no concessions to emotion, he loved life, honouring it with every breath he took. Both in Berlin and in Athens, he participated in all the fields of struggle indiscriminately. In rallies and marches against gentrification, in anti-fascist and anti-patriarchal patrols, in mass poster pastings, in militant defences of occupations, in struggles against colonialism and prisons.

Thessaloniki, Greece: Responsibility claim for explosion at home of prison officers’ union president Kostas Varsamis by armed organisation ‘Sagre Negra’ [Black Blood]

We are not living in the era of the junta, but we are living under the junta of our time. In recent years, and even more so in the last six years, the criminal organization of New Democracy has been ruling the country with the tactics of a monarchy and an authoritarian regime. Amid political scandals and state crimes, it “exploits” security to sell fear to the people. Its main argument in its attempt to gather a few votes is prisons and the harshest repression. In the country’s ostensibly “correctional” institutions and in the otherwise blind and independent justice system that decides who will become an inmate and who will not, their criteria are not evidence of guilt but ideological position, wallet size, skin color, party connections, and the privileged clique to which some belong.

It is clear that Greek courts are anything but incorruptible. Every day, hundreds of trials are held in the country with the aim of repressing and intimidating citizens. For the majority of people, exhausting laws, mass detentions, and illogical sentences have made conditions in the country’s prisons unbearable and inhumane, culminating in the New Democracy party’s repressive resolutions, such as the new penal code and the abolition of all the acquired rights of the state .

Revolutionary hearts burn forever! pdf cover

——–

In the afternoon of October 31, a massive explosion blew up the third floor apartment of a building in the Ampelokipoi neighbourhood in Athens.

Anarchist comrade Marianna was pulled out from the rubble alive and is in a serious condition in the Evangelismos hospital, in the hands of the police. The anarchist comrade Kyriakos didn’t make it and did not survive. The police and subserviant media talk
of a sudden detonation during the preparation of an explosive device. They say (and write) much more. Chatter that will not find space in these few lines. The antiterrorist unit are foaming at the mouth, excited by the blood of the enemy within to throw in jail (and in the newspapers). The words that count are those of the
comrades, they are the only ones that will be taken into consideration.

Komotini city , Greece: Memorial gesture for comrades LUPI, TORTUGA, BELEN by Utopia AD

Memorial gesture for comrades LUPI, TORTUGA, BELEN
by Utopia AD

Hanging a banner in the centre of Komotini and specifically at the Municipal Library in memory of Luciano Balboa “Lupi”, Luciano Pitronello “Tortuga” and Belén Navarrete on the occasion of the call for a black August.

The memory of the comrades who have gone only remains indelible when we continue the struggle they left behind, even more decisively. The insurgent revolutionaries who have gone do not deserve memorial services and funerals, but an intensification of the anti-authoritarian struggle until Anarchy.

Athens, Greece: Taking responsibility for attacks on Israeli interests

Over the past 20 months, since the occasion of the coordinated attacks of Palestinian organizations on the Palestinian territories occupied by Israeli settlers, the murderous army of the state of Israel has been attempting to annihilate and expel the Palestinian people from their last remaining territories. With sweeping airstrikes and the ground invasion of the Gaza Strip, with the systematic destruction of roads, homes and infrastructure, with the blockade and deprivation of food, water, medicine, electricity and fuel, with the killing and injury of tens of thousands of Palestinians, the majority of whom are civilians, Israel is attempting to completely subjugate the people of Palestine and impose its plans for the wider region.

The genocidal work of the Israeli war machine has been assisted militarily, economically and morally from the very beginning by the US state, the European Union and NATO. In fact, the “pacifist” Trump is stating that he is working on plans for the reconstruction of the razed Gaza and its transformation into a “Middle Eastern Riviera”, which includes the permanent relocation of the Palestinians from their land.

Responsibility claim for arson of a cop’s vehicle in the area of Elliniko by Negators of Social Peace.(Athens,Greece)

In the early hours of 7/25, we carried out an arson attack on a private cop’s motorbike in the area of elliniko . As a result, it suffered significant damage and needed repair. Our move was not accidental as we chose to attack a uniformed scumbag at a time when the state is increasingly strengthening the security forces with more funds for equipment and human resources and their privileges.

This is done in an effort by the state to shield internal social peace against resistance, against those who struggle, against the internal enemy, against the anarchist space.

Greece: “Ιν μαγκάφ χασπί, καλιαρντέ αιμοβόροι σι…Ντέλε μο”/ A few words about Kassaveteia prisons from K.K.

09/07/2025

“The monsters were tried with hunger as a witness,

locked away for a lifetime in involuntary quarantine.

Despair is its revolver and bullets their needs..”

The road to liberation is long and after every tiring uphill, every
sharp turn, every pothole and everything that slowed our movement, we must regroup with tenfold stubbornness. We must march even more militant, and this is because our memory is neither insignificant nor ephemeral. The free moments in the midst of actions remain alive in our minds, the memories of people in whose eyes and words you can see the beauty of a new world, and most importantly, the thoughts about the prisoners, for those who wake up behind bars and barbed wire, remain indelible. For every invisible, for every forgotten…

I have met many such people in the past months. I am referring to the time I was a prisoner in the Kassavetia Rural Detention Center. There are essentially 4 different prisons operating there, including the juvenile prison, where there are prisoners as young as 15 years old(!). The prison in question is made up mostly of young Roma who are impoverished, who experience deep poverty, in very difficult family environments, while others have not even had a family since a very young age. And these situations have created in them a petty criminal behavior where, due to the vindictiveness of the state and civil justice, they are sent to prison. People who don’t even know how to read a sentence, who haven’t understood basic things about how the world works, let alone the state, who have a major conscience deficit in the majority of them, find themselves imprisoned without any hope, subjected to daily irony
from the guards and hearing phrases like: “when you steal, it’s okay,
now you’re in pain?” or “do dogs become people, kid?”

Athens, Greece: Re the trial of the 2 anti-fascist comrades accused of attacks on the golden dawn – neo-Nazi office in Athens on 2019.

On Thursday, July 3, 2025, the first instance trial of the 2 anti-fascist comrades ended. 

After almost six years of hostage-taking under harsh restrictive conditions, targeting by inveterate police reporters, surveillance of activists, political spaces, collectives and their members with cameras and bugging, the revolutionary movement managed to free 2 activists from the hands of the repression.

It also managed to withstand the pressure of the “anti” terrorist department and the repressive fury of M. Chrysochoidis ( Minister for Citizen Protection ) who not only failed to impose a climate of terror in order to weaken our ranks, but on the contrary, through the very overcoming of the repressive pressure, the collapse of the Eolos indictment was achieved with immortal patience, comradeship, solidarity and nerves of steel.
