Anarchists & Fellow Travellers on Palestine

“The police, like the army, are abolished. […] All the people armed, no army outside the people […] The army, as an organized force in support of Authority and the war against Freedom, from the interior to the exterior, must disappear.”

Joseph Déjacque, La Législation directe et universelle, 1859

Anarchist Anti-Militarism

“‘The War to end War,’ ‘the War for Democracy.’ What a lying face was hidden under the hideous mask of democracy.”

The Black Spectre of War – Emma Goldman (1938)

“…Mother Earth is not a business concern: it is a voice, — it calls for something which no government can silence. It articulates the thoughts and the emotions of people who have remained firm in their opposition to the hypocritical boast that this war, unlike other wars, is imbued with a high purpose and a noble aim. These people have come forward from East and West, from North and South, with words of cheer and tokens of love. They have demonstrated how truly futile and foolish it is for governments to strike at an ideal or to gag a truth…”

Between Jails – Emma Goldman (1917)

“… the United States Government perpetrates outrages in Santo Domingo and Haiti of the same nature.”

Teaching Liberty to Santo Domingo – Emma Goldman (1917)

Our Moral Censors – Emma Goldman (1913)
