As Palestine Solidarity group we see ourselves as comrades in the fight for Palestinian liberation and solidarity as being embedded in a wider anti-imperial and anti-colonial understanding of the world. Acknowledging that people within the German climate justice movement have been socialized in a country where zionist perspective dominate, we aim to critically engage with the speechlessness of many in the German left concerning this topic and invited external groups to share their knowledge about the Palestinian struggle and beyond.
