One of the essential element to defend oneself against State & Fascist goon squads is by having squads of self defence of our own i.e building street muscle.
However unlike both of those two authoritarian squads, this is structured in a completely non-hierarchical manner thats born in solidarity with loyalty only to truth & one's conscience which respects autonomy of both individuals & groups, self-constituted from the community it's part of.
With no loyalty/respect to Law or Constitution or Nation or Religion or Race or Gender or Caste or Class or whatever the bullshit ruling class euphemism/division that exists to control & dominate rest of society.
We can't wish away violence & don't have to pretend State, Capital & Fascism will give up their power voluntarily. They are never going to, never have, never will. They need to be forced.
(I am sure others would have already put this more concisely & more clearly than me long before, but this is what I can think of now. Also I beleive this is what many Antifa groups are trying to achieve too — good on them. I think others also call it: Community self-defence committees).
"Sadly, #GuineaBissau has allowed itself to become complicit in Israel’s deliberate #starvation, #illegalSiege and genocide of Palestinians in #Gaza. @israel is showing the world the extent to which it will go to deny Palestinians the aid they need to stay alive, in direct contravention of International #HumanitarianLaw, #UN Security Council resolutions, and two orders of the International Court of Justice #ICC@cij_icj . Israel is only allowed to get away with this because we have an international order where law does not apply equally, where people are not valued the same, and where might equals right. The US has hijacked #internationalLaw and is violating its own laws to protect Israel at every turn. A recently-leaked #USAID memo states that ' #famine in Gaza is inevitable,' and that 'changes could reduce but not stop widespread #civiliandeaths.' It also states that the government of Israel does not currently demonstrate necessary compliance with #USlaw required to receive #USmilitary aid. Nevertheless, last week, the #USCongress passed and Biden signed a $26 billion aid package for Israel. It is this kind of naked impunity, over decades, that has brought us to this point where Israel can carry out a #genocide "
"Over the next few hours, counter-demonstrators threw objects, including wood and a metal barrier, at the camp and those inside, with fights repeatedly breaking out..."
#ICJ / Turkey to join South Africa's genocide case against Israel

#Israel 22 or 30 people? ... it really doesn't matter any more
Define "blood lust".
Minister of Settlement (=occupied territories), Orit Strock, said this morning (Wednesday) that the deal being discussed with #Hamas is "terrible and horrible", and that "there is no right to exist for a government that tells soldiers who went out to fight that it is throwing it in the trash to save 22 people or 33 people." In an interview with Army Radio, Strock (Religious Zionism) described the deal as a "reckless deal that turns its back on the goals of the war." According to her, "You are basically saying, I settle for I don't know, 20, 33, it really doesn't matter anymore."
