Gaza, Protest, Repression and Germany’s Conundrum, United for Peace and Justice, March 17, 2024.

The global wave of protest against Israel’s conduct of the war in Gaza has drawn crackdowns on speech from the streets to university campuses. One place government repression aimed at individuals and groups supporting Palestine has been particularly notable has been Germany. On March 17, United for Peace and Justice presented a panel featuring a variety of voices from Germany, and accounts of similar experiences in the United States. Learning about what is happening in Germany, a country with a history of official regulation of how the Holocaust can be discussed and how “anti-Semitism” should be defined, could provide new insights into the challenges we face in promoting a fair and open discussion of the Gaza crisis, and the history that has led us here.

On Monday, April 20th, 150 veterans and military family members held an act of civil disobedience peacefully protesting, in the Cannon Building rotunda, Washington D.C.  Their demand was an end to the immoral Iran war and its funding.

The Veterans, wearing their fatigues, held a moving flag-folding ceremony in memory of the 13 service members killed while a bugler played taps.   Each person held a red tulip in remembrance of the Iranians killed by U.S. airstrikes.  The red tulip is an Iranian cultural symbol of mourning and sacrifice.  Following the ceremony, there was a demand that House Speaker Johnson meet with them to accept the folded flag and to   pledge a halt to war funding.

After Capitol Police issued a dispersal order, approximately 67 veterans and military family members refused this order; they were then zip-tied and arrested, including several disabled veterans.  As people were arrested, their tulips dropped to the floor, enveloping the scene with the sadness of death. Veterans and military families know all too well the devastating costs of war.

Among those arrested were Mike Prysner, an Iraq War veteran, and Executive Director of the Center on Conscience and War.  Mike stated: “The war I was sent to senselessly claimed the lives of thousands of Americans and a million Iraqis.  Like the other veterans here with me today, I have spent the last two decades wishing I could turn back the hands of time and refuse to go.” “Service members have that chance right now.  Conscientious Objection is your legal right, and we have professional counselors who will fight to ensure you are approved and kept from deployment.”  The Center on Conscience and War is asking all military members opposed to the Iran war to call its hotline (877) NO-2-WARS for free, professional counseling.

The protest was the work of a coalition of veteran groups:  About Face, Veterans for Peace, Military Families Speak Out, Common Defense, Center on Conscience and War, Fayetteville Resistance Coalition, and 50501 Vets.  Please click on the organizations to learn more about what they do and how you can join in the effort!

 On June 18, Iranians will cast their votes for their 13th presidential election since the Islamic Revolution of 1979. Whatever the result might be, this election will have one loser: the people of Iran. A resilient nation that has been suffering from the most severe and crippling economic sanctions ever used against any country to this day, while, like the rest of the world, Iran’s economy has been shattered because of the pandemic.

No doubt that the pandemic and sanctions are not the only reasons for the unbearable economic situation of Iran. Rather, mismanagements and institutionalized corruption are important reasons as well. Nonetheless, a large part of the current devastating condition is the result of the Maximum Pressure Campaign designed by the Trump administration. Trump’s unilateral withdrawal from the successful Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) in 2018 that followed by the implementation of the Maximum Pressure Campaign marks the beginning of such suffering for the people of Iran.

While it is difficult to call the Maximum Pressure Campaign a policy at all, it is easy to point at it as a failure to reach what it was planned for. The Maximum Pressure Campaign was said to be planned to force Iran’s government to change its malign activities, according to Pompeo. Nonetheless, it is known that the main objective has been the regime change in Iran by its people.

The idea was to use the economic tool to keep the people of Iran devastated and hungry to the point that they revolt against their own government and topple the regime. In other words, the plan was to use economic terrorism, as Javad Zarif called it, to push the Iranian people to make the change desired by Netanyahu, Pompeo, and Kushner. The result however has been very different. The revolt that was expected by the Trump administration didn’t take place. Rather the people of Iran have suffered through and decided to keep silent to prevent foreign aggression.

The maximum pressure campaign only has weakened Iran’s democratic movements and has created a loss of hope in the nation. In other words, the result of the maximum pressure campaign is being revealed now, a week before the presidential election. Whereas, unlike any other previous elections, there is no enthusiasm among people. No hope for a change for the better.

According to a new poll a large percentage of Iranians are disappointed with the current moderate president, Hassan Rouhani, and see his economic policy as a failure. This view compels the people to support critics of Rouhani. The opposite party. The Osul-Garayan (Principlists). Principlists in a historical context, are shown to be more conservative in social and cultural policies. They intend to have more constraints over social movements, suppressed press, and democratic progress. Principlists often encourage further religious control over society and culture. As it is obvious to many Iranians, the Principlists are not the best options for Iran’s social, cultural, and democratic progress.

Hence, what Trump did in 2018 by unilateral withdrawal from the successful JCPOA, only created negative impacts on one of the largest and powerful nations in the chaotic region of the Middle East. Instead of empowering people, the US policy toward Iran has empowered the conservatives who have historically controlled and suppressed women’s power, labor’s power, minority power, and in one glance the People Power.

There is only a week to the election, and many Iranians remain undecided to vote, while conservative candidates are most popular only because they harshly criticize Rouhani, and reformists’ “naivety” to trust the U.S.

Having said that, it is important to know that a critic of the Trump administration is not going to wash out the problems with the election process in Iran by any means. Iran as a relatively new republic with only 40 years of voting experience has lots of problems to deal with. For one, the Guardian Council, the powerful entity who approves “eligible” candidates who pass the “constitutional qualifications” only through a harsh vetting process. Since the agency leans toward the conservative fraction of the Nezam (system) it often disregards reformists nominees. However, it never made decisions as it did this year.

This year, the Council did not approve any reformist candidate to run for the presidency. I believe this year the Council finds it easier to dismiss Reformist candidates due to the unpopularity of Rouhani as a reformist president. While the majority of Iranians are critical of the Guardian Council for not approving any reformist candidates, they do not feel comfortable to support reformists either.

Many Iranians see the unpopular Guardian Council decisions have been hand in hand with the Maximum Pressure Campaign to kill hope for a nation. In other words, the collapse of JCPOA in 2018 has been the best gift for the conservatives and a beginning to an end for the reformists. As an Iranian American, I only wish this weekend’s talks in Vienna make the move into JCPOA possible. Revitalizing JCPOA can bring back not only prospects of peace and tranquility for everyone in the region and the US as well, but also might bring back a better perspective for the democratic movements in Iran.

 A message from the Iraqi people to our friends all over the world

To the demonstrators against war, the advocates of peace, democracy and justice

 Years ago, a small group of world leaders, most living far from Iraq, made a promise that they would maintain global peace and security and bring democracy and freedom to the Iraqi people — through war! In response, many others throughout the world stood together in defense of world peace; they rejected the war in and on Iraq by joining in massive demonstrations that spread to cities across the globe. These protests alerted the public about the repercussions of war and warned of its catastrophic consequences. Hundreds of thousands of people called for the rights of Iraqi people to be respected; Iraqis themselves should decide their own destiny, without regional or international military intervention. The signs of these protestors bore the slogan “No to war … No to dictatorship!”

Of course, as they always do, the world’s top leaders ignored these global protests, and opened the door to a disaster of monstrous proportion and leading to unspeakable suffering. The war of 2003, contrary to what those who so recklessly started it promised, has contributed to the disruption of world peace, to the movement of a large military force into Iraq, and has caused the eastern Mediterranean to fall into a continuous cycle of violence. And the violence has spread; its impact continues to be felt by the whole world in the form of an ever-increasing tendency for violent extremism.

Today in Iraq, as we write this letter to you, we are living in revolutionary times; they started last October and — despite the killing, despite ongoing brutal and authoritarian violence — they are still going on now. This revolution is not an anomaly, it is not occurring in isolation from history, nor is it a break from what happened seventeen years ago. This revolution is the inevitable result of a relentless and ever-expanding accumulation of anger and pain caused by the imposition of a deliberately corrupt regime.  The backbone of the post-2003 regime in Iraq was a system of sectarian-ethnic quotas, allowing self-interested mafias to plunder our resources and impoverish our country for present and future generations. The Iraqis have revolted in direct response to this grave injustice. They demand a homeland that respects all its people as human beings, a homeland in which they enjoy peace and security, a homeland in which they benefit from principles of freedom and justice, where they live in a world of true democracy and social rights, a homeland in which they decide their own destiny, away from the interventions of international powers, especially American and Iranian.

We, the Iraqi people, who have had bitter experiences with wars and military interventions, stand with all humanity against war — ALL war.  We stand in solidarity with our neighbor, the Iranian people, against the war and the advocates of war! We stand together, firmly convinced that this war is only a means of political polarization, one intended to distract the public, driving them away from the reality of the revolutionary movement currently taking place in Iraq, Iran, Lebanon and the rest of the world! This present moment is crucial and we cannot lose sight of its force: people are standing up and demanding their legitimate right to self-determination, independence, freedom, democracy and social justice… These are the same demands that sparked our peaceful protests several months ago, and we are writing this now to implore you to keep your eyes on the hope for transformation that fuels these demonstrations — do not let them be destroyed by senseless violence and futile war!

War threatens to undermine all the gains of this great mass movement in Iraq and neighboring countries. It threatens to destroy the unity that holds the people in the region together. War will be used shamelessly, by a malevolent but powerful few, as an excuse to circumvent the people’s calls for justice. War will result in grave violations against human rights and will severely threaten the lives of the human rights defenders.

Join us now in active support for the revolutionary people of the world! Stand in solidarity with us, with them, and all our calls for what is right and fair. Together we can open a window to a future free from the devestations of war. We can have a future that is secure and peaceful, democratic and just!

Dear Movement Family,

Today we joined faith leaders, including denominational and national leadership, with moral advocates across the country in requesting that the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights hold our government accountable for violating the UN Charter and escalating us toward war with Iran. This afternoon we formally requested a meeting with High Commissioner Bachelet. As the request began:

“We write gravely disturbed, indeed outraged, by the death that is occurring because of our President’s rogue actions in the Middle East. His willingness to bypass congressional approval, violate international law, pardon convicted war criminals, implement harsher sanctions and abandon existing peace deals, sets a dangerous precedent that can have continued lethal and destabilizing results.

The US President’s order to carry out a lethal drone strike violated the UN Charter’s prohibition on the use of force. The assassination of General Qassim Suleimani represented an act of war against a country with whom the United States was not at war. Trump’s claim of imminent danger from Suleimani is unfounded and must be investigated.

The threat to add new sanctions to Iran, and to involve the NATO military alliance, all indicate that the threat of war remains very real. Furthermore, we know that the majority of impact from these sanctions will be on the poor.”

We know that in the words of Rev. Dr. King “war is the enemy of the poor.”  We must say no to war and militarism.

Join us in our request. Sign here. Share it widely as we humbly and whole-heartedly work to keep our country from war and our world from the dangerous precedence of immoral and unaccountable leadership. Our people across the world are hurting, and it’s gone on far too long.

We know that together we can and must revive the heart and soul of this nation.

Join our signatures here.

Forward together,

Reverend Dr. William J. Barber II, President of Repairers of the Breach

Reverend Dr. Liz Theoharis, Director of the Kairos Center

Co-Chairs of the Poor People’s Campaign: A National Call for Moral Revival

The post Poor People’s Campaign Calls on UN to Hold U.S. Accountable for War Crimes appeared first on United For Peace and Justice.

In Solidarity with CODEPINK, the United for Peace & Justice Coordinating Committee supports their message below:

Last night bombs were falling and it seemed like another major Middle East war was breaking out.

But Iran intentionally didn’t cause any casualties with its missile attack on the Ain al-Assad and Erbil U.S. military bases Iraq. Iran warned Iraq and probably even the U.S. before the strike so people could evacuate the area. Iran announced that its retaliation for General Soleimani’s assassination would be complete as long as the U.S. does not retaliate, leaving the ball in Trump’s court.

Even though Trump is not striking back militarily, we are still on the brink and we must MOBILIZE QUICKLY to stop this war.

Tomorrow, on January 9, in over 100 cities across the U.S., people will be taking to the streets to say PEACE WITH IRAN!

Find and join a protest in your city!

The assassination of Gen. Qassem Soleimani is the most dangerous foreign policy decision that Trump has made to date and responsibility for the present crisis rests solely at his feet. Trump’s tearing up of the Iran nuclear deal and imposing brutal sanctions laid the groundwork for the conflict to snowball. It is now up to us the people to stop the escalation and push Trump to lift the sanctions and withdraw U.S. forces from the Middle East.

Along with attending a protest tomorrow, Thursday, January 9, here are a number of other actions for you to take:

Add your name to our letter to the Iranian people apologizing for the actions of the Trump administration and pledging to do all that you can to stop a war and end the sanctions. We will stream the letter and names in both English and Farsi on January 25, the NO WAR WITH IRAN International Day of Action.

Tell Congress to pass a war powers resolution ensuring that Trump cannot go to war with Iran without congressional legislation. A floor vote is expected in the House next week and the Senate soon after that.

Get started on plans for an action in your city on Saturday, January 25, the No War With Iran International Day of Action. CODEPINK is here to help you organize and advertise your event and provide you with posters, talking points, press release templates, chants, social media graphics and more.

We are proud to be partnering with the National Iranian-American Council, Jewish Voice for Peace, American Muslims for Palestine, ANSWER, Black Alliance for Peace, Veterans for Peace, Pastors for Peace and almost 100 other organizations. We must do everything that we can to stop Trump’s war on Iran, including the economic warfare of sanctions.

While Trump tries to goad Iran into war—going so far as to threaten war crimes—we will continue to respond with principled love for the people of the Middle East, who have already suffered for way too long from U.S. violence and aggression.

We must stop the next war.

In Solidarity with CODEPINK,

The United for Peace & Justice Coordinating Committee
