Resilience in Action

I wrote this text as an assignment to process our history on Trans Day of Remembrance. I couldn't get it done on that day, but then again, anti-colonial scientific methods do not believe in done texts.

The University Camp for Palestine in Munich, driven by students, workers, and interns, is a resilient community space advocating for Palestinian rights through workshops, events, and protests. Recently, the camp was targeted in a terrorist attack fueled by political views and anti-Palestinian hate, occurring at night while people were sleeping. This blatant attempt to silence the movement has only intensified the community’s anger and strengthened their unwavering commitment to justice and resistance.

 In just 13 weeks since its start in June 2024, Freiburg's Camp of Return became a powerful force for justice and solidarity. Though the camp has now ended, it made a lasting impact in the fight against oppression and genocide. Following the arson attack on the University Camp for Palestine in Munich, Freiburg's camp stood firm, turning collective anger into action. The camp demanded accountability. Its conclusion marks not an end, but a new chapter in the ongoing fight for Palestinian freedom.
