Greece: Responsibility Claim for the Attack on the Offices of the Israeli Shipping Company ZIM by ‘October 7 Group’

Posted on 2024/02/03 by darknights

“And now their are masses of people who are rising and breaking their shackles and chains. Eternal memory to you, oh brother, in the honorable struggle you have fallen.”

Armed with these verses, which come from our own 1940-49 era here in Greece and guided by the unity of the revolutionary achievements that are currently taking place in Palestine, we carried out an arson attack* on the offices of the Israeli shipping company ZIM at dawn on Wednesday 17/01.

The Israeli company ZIM, since its establishment in 1945, has been actively involved in supplying the murderous Israeli army with military equipment for the Palestinian front. A process which continues even today, unhindered and frequently from the port of Piraeus. ZIM is one of the heavyweights of Zionist capital as it ranks among the ten most powerful shipping companies in Israel. Also, its targeting by the revolutionary Houthi guerrilla movement of the Yemeni people has exposed its active role in the genocide of the Gaza Strip.

A little over a hundred days. Days that are obscured by the sounds of artillery and buildings being demolished in an instant. Nights haunted by the explosions of aerial bombardment. Periods of time where minute by minute, street by street, house by house another magnificent chapter of the Palestinian resistance is written. Another magnificent chapter in the history of the Peoples’ Resistance against their occupiers, against their timeless oppressors.

On October 7, 2023, the combined action of the armed resistance organizations of the struggling Palestinian people achieved an unthinkable blow against one of the most powerful militaries in the world, the Israeli occupation forces. An occupation that has already counted seventy-five years of violence, persecution, arrests and imprisonment without trials, torture, executions, killings, murders of civilians and the continuous expansion of Israel into Palestinian territory in violation of all treaties. Aggressive expansion, with constant escalations, which has led millions of Palestinians to be uprooted or to live crammed into strips and patches of land under inhumane, suffocating conditions of military enforcement, surveillance, control, deprivation of basic human rights, basic goods and health care, on a thin line between life and death.

In this suffocating context, the Palestinian people manage to organize themselves, overcoming immense difficulties and attacking the occupier who tries to break their resistance. The Palestinian Resistance organizations continue operations and achieve daily blows against the Zionist occupation forces. Even at this very moment, when the Israeli army has penetrated deep into the Gaza Strip, as it is attacking the West Bank and striking mercilessly and indiscriminately, slaughtering tens of thousands of Palestinians. For all its overwhelming show of force, the Zionist state of Israel is failing to achieve its key objectives, with international and domestic pressure to end the war and find a diplomatic solution mounting and political time running out for a viable way out for the far-right Netanyahu government.

Athens, Greece: Attack on cops, in solidarity with Fotis D, Iasona R

Posted on 2022/04/20 - 2022/04/20 by darknights

Six months ago, two of our comrades fell into the hands of the state. On 14/11/2021, an attack on the Piraeus traffic police with the use of Molotov cocktails. A few kilometres away, in the area of Faliro, a blockade was set up by cops who tried to stop a motorbike with our comrades on board which they refused to stop. The immediate reaction of the uniformed cops was to chase the motorbike and a few meters later to ram them with the police car at high speed and risking their physical integrity. Then after the comrades were arrested, they were taken to the GADA (police HQ) where they were held captive without the possibility of contacting a lawyer or family. Early the next morning they entered their homes trying to find some evidence that would show that they were related to the aforementioned attack. Of course, the police thugs only succeeded in their own way to pass the climate of terror to the families of the two comrades and collect useless evidence (empty beer bottles, two computers, a bottle of paraffin oil, a juggling pole and a 1940’s antique gas mask) which were turned into evidence. The following days were followed by a farcical media farce which brought the courtroom before its time. After several days in custody, the two comrades were found to be in custody with an overblown indictment where the prosecutor-investigator’s only concern was to achieve the objective with no room for defence. The indictment given to them is : attempted manslaughter, arson, arson by association, explosion-construction and possession of incendiary and explosive materials , without any evidence to support it and since then they have been detained in the Vlora-Korydallos hellhouses.

The main dispute of the whole case and the sucking of the state and media, was to highlight the application of the new provision of the penal code where now the possession of Molotov cocktails is a felony with the possibility of imprisonment, as it was in this case, with the cronies of this society celebrating. For us, this is not something that seems paradoxical; the Mitsotakis government has shown and stated from the beginning of its mandate that targeting and suppressing the antagonistic movement is one of its primary objectives. One of its main pre-election promises, moreover, was the ‘cleansing’ of the institutions of higher education, as well as the tightening of the penal code.Therefore, we are not falling from the clouds when, in order to show a supposed political consistency in their speech, they send people to prison, let alone anarchists, who always create problems in the world of power.

Our solidarity with every appointed-imprisoned comrade is undivided and uninterrupted.We will always be with the oppressed and those who choose to resist impoverishment by any means and in simple or complex ways. So from our side on Thursday 12/4 we tried to be mentally next to our comrades by closing Patission Street and attacking passing police cars and the squadrons that they approached with stones, fire extinguishers, paints.

For every incarcerated person, hatred grows, COPS FASCISTS MURDERERS

Solidarity and immediate release of Fotis D., Iasona R.

Alimos & Piraeus, Greece: Responsibility claim for attacks in solidarity with the 3 comrades arrested in Thessaloniki

Posted on 2022/02/10 - 2022/02/10 by darknights

In the early morning of Tuesday 8/2 two people were arrested by the anti-terrorist police in connection with the placing of an explosive device at the entrance of the “Foundation for National and Religious Reflection” in Thessaloniki. During the day one more person was arrested. A case file is formed against them for allegedly forming and joining the “Anarchist Action Organization”.

As a reflexive and minimal sign of solidarity with the persecuted comrades on Wednesday night 9/2 we chose to break 2 ATMs, one of Eurobank in Theomitoros street in Alimos and one of Piraeus in Michalakopoulou street.

We are in an uninterrupted state of war with every power and its defenders and the garbage of the anti-terrorism department should get it through their heads.
