PROTESTORS CONVERGE IN ATLANTA TO OPPOSE THE 2024 PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE

With neither presidential candidate commited to ending genocide in Palestine or halting spread of "Cop City" training facilities, protestors argue the debate gives an illusory choice.

What: STOP THE DEBATE! PROTEST
When: Thursday, June 27, 2024 at 8pm Eastern
Where: Home Park (1015 Tumlin ST NW, Atlanta, GA)


ATLANTA, GA -- On Thursday, June 27th, people will converge in downtown Atlanta to protest the first 2024 presidential debate between Presidents Joe Biden and Donald Trump. The Stop the Debate! protest follows waves of protests condemning the genocide in Palestine and the development of police militarization facilities (known as "Cop Cities") in Atlanta, New York City and other cities. Since October 7th, the Israel military has, with the support of United States military aid, killed at least 40,000 Palestinians, with at least 14,000 children dead and more than 20,000 missing.

Haydee Anderson, an Atlanta resident and organizer with the Ad-hoc Committee to Stop the Debate, stated "The U.S.-backed genocide in Palestine hinges on the rise of authoritarianism and police militarization in the U.S. It requires us to be passive, or to be made passive through fear, police violence, and political repression. But many in the U.S. are instead taking action."

The presidential debate is slated to air to millions of homes from CNN studios at the Ted Turner Campus (1050 Techwood DR NW, Atlanta, GA, 30318) in Atlanta. The debate comes as Mayor Andre Dickens faces widespread condemnation for anti-democratic practices toward the referendum to stop Cop City. The $100M police training facility under construction in Dekalb County would host tactical exchange with the Israeli military through the Georgia International Law Enforcement Exchange (GILEE) program. Yesterday, protestors occupied the office of Mayor Andre Dickens to demand he put Cop City on the ballot.

"It's ironic Atlanta is hosting the first presidential debate. Atlanta has been a laboratory for anti-democratic governance. For the last year, the City of Atlanta has blocked the referendum on Cop City at every possible turn, despite 116,000 Atlantans signing a petition to put the facility to a vote," said Jordan Wright, an Atlanta resident and member of the Ad-Hoc Committee to Stop the Debate.

Since 2021, Atlanta Mayor Andre Dickens and the Atlanta City Council have refused to heed over 30 hours of public comment in opposition to Cop City. The City has also stalled the referendum process, suppressing the petition through legal channels. Similarly, approval ratings, polls and protests alike demonstrate that Biden has failed to abide popular mandate on the Palestinian genocide.

"What is the choice here? Most Americans are against US involvement, but Biden continued to arm and fund this war." says Parker Morris, an Atlanta-area resident and voter. "Those of us who desire freedom--worldwide, from Atlanta to Palestine and beyond--see no real differences between the two presidential candidates. To us, the election offers only the illusion of democracy."

Interesting article on armed resistance in Jenin

"The second reason for Jenin’s relative success has to do with the kind of organizational relationships that existed in the camp, and their ability to rein in internal conflict. This helped shield the resistance from social interventions on the part of the Palestinian Authority, such as the propagation of rumors, the sowing of distrust, or even enticing the resistance fighters themselves. In other words, the presence of certain social and political conditions in Jenin refugee camp helped build a general social consciousness that bolstered the resistance and remained hostile to any political discourse that attempted to undermine it."

🔴 Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine:
—
The resistance remains and is influential; our people will shape the future and the form of governance of the Strip.

The war criminal Gallant’s plans for the "Day After" are mere delusions and fantasies reflecting the occupation’s bankruptcy and inability to face reality.

The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine asserts that what was reported by the American newspaper The Washington Post about the zionist enemy’s Minister of War, Gallant, presenting a plan for the "day after" in Gaza, which involves humanitarian bubbles, dividing the Strip into 24 administrative areas, forming a special committee headed by America, and creating international and Arab forces to control and lead, with a Palestinian force taking responsibility for local security, are mere delusions and fantasies reflecting the occupation’s bankruptcy and inability to face reality.

Proposing such an unrealistic plan is a clear indication of the occupation’s inability to provide a clear answer about the "day after the war." The timing of the announcement of the plan coincides with Gallant’s visit to America, which is part of the internal competition within the zionist entity and Gallant’s attempt to impose his political stance as an alternative to the plan of the enemy's Prime Minister, the war criminal Netanyahu, in this regard.

The zionist entity, which has suffered a strategic defeat, faces an existential crisis, with its exhausted army that has lost its power to deter, receiving successive blows and fighting on multiple fronts. Amidst the significant deterioration in the zionist economy and the great isolation the zionist entity suffers from on various levels, it is not in a position to implement such an imaginary plan, especially since it is unable to decide the battle and control all areas of the Gaza Strip. This underscores the weakness of this plan and the impossibility of its implementation.

Moreover, the occupation’s attempts to escape from Gaza by involving the American administration and some Arab parties in managing the Strip are failed plans, as no sane party would agree to sink into the quagmire of Gaza or come on the back of a tank or engage in a proxy war.

This plan is doomed to fail. The resistance in Gaza remains and will stay strong and highly influential. No one can impose any vision or plan outside the will of the Palestinian people, who are the only ones capable of shaping the future of the Strip and determining the form of governance through genuine national consensus. Any collusion from any local, Arab, or international party will be considered a partner with the occupation and an adversary to our people.

Evidence that the IDF murdered Israeli civilians on October 7th

'A more recent poll conducted by the Palestinian Center for Policy and Survey Research, whose findings were released in mid-June, found that two-thirds of the Gaza population continued to express support for the October 7 attack on Israel, with more than 80 percent asserting that it put Palestine at the center of global attention. More than half of Gaza residents polled indicated that they hoped Hamas would return to power after the war. “They lost confidence in peace with Israel. People believe that the only way is now to fight against Israel, to struggle against Israel,” said Ghazi Hamad, the former Hamas deputy foreign minister and a longstanding member of its political bureau, in an interview. “We put the Palestinian cause on the table. I think that we have a new page of history.”'
