Open letter from F.O.R. Palestine to the Candidatura de Unidad Popular

May 24, 2017 By FOR-Palestine

(English/Catalan)

We in FOR-Palestine, a Palestine solidarity group based in Germany, have taken much strength from the recent decision of the Candidatura de Unidad Popular to disinvite Jutta Ditfurth from their conference “Sovereignty and Self-Determination” in Barcelona on the 20th of May.
Ditfurth is herself an avid campaigner against Palestinian sovereignty and self-determination as well as a known agitator against the BDS movement and solidarity groups in Germany. We as one of these solidarity groups, as well as the local BDS group in Berlin, have often been the target of her attacks – most notably in 2016 as she led a campaign to exclude us from the revolutionary May Day demonstration with trumped-up claims of anti-semitism and sexism. Thanks to the solidarity of the other leftist groups in the demonstration coalition, the campaign hopelessly failed. Disinviting the Zionist propagandist Ditfurth was the right choice for a party with internationalist ideals. It has been noted that the CUP did not step back from its solidarity with the Palestinian struggle for liberation, while fighting for self-determination in Catalonia.
Unity of all those suffering from oppression is our long-term revolutionary strategy. United we stand, divided we fall!

Nosaltres de FOR-Palestine, un moviment alemany de solidaritat amb Palestina, ens alegrem i ens solidaritzem amb la recent decisió de la CUP (Candidatura d’Unitat Popular) de rebutjar de la seva conferència “Sobirania i autodeterminació”, celebrada el 20 de Maig, a Jutta Ditfurth, tan “apassionada” lluitadora contra la sobirania i la autodeterminació de Palestina com propagandista contra el BDS i grups de solidaritat palestina. Nosaltres al ser part d’un d’aquests moviments solidaris i com a moviment Berlinès, som objecte d’atacs permanents -com també ho és el local del moviment BDS- per part d’aquesta senyora, que per exemple ha intentat recentment amb acusacions infundades d’antisemitisme i sexisme de fer-nos fora de la manifestació revolucionària de l’1 de Maig. Per això considerem d’un partit que té una perspectiva internacionalista justa i digna la decisió de rebutjar aquesta propagandista sionista. Apreciem que la CUP no s’ha fet enrere en els ideals de solidaritat amb la lluita per a l’alliberament de Palestina, mentre segueix lluitant per la autodeterminació dels Països Catalans. La unitat dels pobles oprimits és el nostre objectiu estratègic revolucionari.
La unió fa la força.
