DEM VOLKE DIENEN

In the following, we would like to document a graffiti on the occasion of the 152nd anniversary of the Paris Commune on March 18, 2023 that appeared in Essen’s Nordviertel (Northern Quarter) and was forwarded to us.

Late last week, Israeli forces carried out another massacre of Palestinians during an operation in Jenin, in the occupied West Bank. Several members of the armed forces, dressed in civilian clothes, opened fire on a large street in the middle of the city. Videos of the incident show a man lying on the ground and then being shot in the head by one of the Israeli assailants - a veritable execution in the open street. As a result, two Palestinians were killed in the operation and at least 20 others were injured after putting up strong resistance to the occupation forces.
