Our Demands

Germany is enabling the Zionist genocide of the Palestinian people via weapons exports and political, economic and diplomatic support. As such, it is not only our right, but our duty to resist.


We are a coalition of people – German citizens, permanent residents, asylum seekers, internationals, and others currently situated in Germany. Over the last six months, and in some cases longer, we have been marching, educating, demonstrating, and staging artistic interventions in protest. As nothing has swayed Germany from its commitment to dehumanizing Palestinians and supporting the Zionist occupation in its genocide, we now plant our bodies as a sign unmoving in front of the heart of German political power.

This is everyone’s responsibility. As activists, artists, academics, and everyday people are criminalized, assaulted, and intimidated for speaking out for Palestinian human rights, Germany normalizes and manufactures consent for the physical destruction of Palestinians abroad while denying their humanity within its borders. We acknowledge and applaud the Palestine solidarity movement worldwide in its different forms — in Yemen, Jordan, Lebanon, South Africa, and worldwide. This is not an isolated fight but a global struggle for liberation against all forms of capitalism and colonization.

Thus, we demand:

  • An immediate military embargo and an end to all weapons exports to the Zionist state
  • An immediate, permanent and unconditional ceasefire
  • An end to the Zionist occupation of Palestine, the Golan Heights and Sheba Farms
  • Immediate provision of sufficient humanitarian aid to the people of Gaza
  • Equal application of human rights for all, which means the end to the Zionist apartheid regime and the implementation of the right to return of all refugees
  • An end to the aggression against Lebanon and Syria
  • Accountability of the Zionist occupation and other complicit entities, including Germany, responsible for the genocide being committed in the Gaza Strip specifically and across all of Palestine, and reparations to the Palestinians for their suffering, the destruction of their lives and livelihoods, and for the occupation of their land

Our specific demands to the German government are:

  • An immediate end to all arms exports to the Zionist state
  • An immediate reinstatement of funding to UNRWA
  • An end of the criminalization of the Palestine solidarity movement
  • Abolish the 2019 BDS resolution
  • Abolish the use of the IHRA definition of antisemitism by all German arts and culture institutions, universities as well as state authorities
  • A repeal of the law passed in December 2023 in Saxony-Anhalt, which requires commitment to israel’s right to exist in order to be naturalized
  • An end to Paragraph 16 of the Higher Education Act, which enables politically motivated exmatriculation of students

We call on the public to join us! Spread our demands. Hold those in power accountable for their actions regarding the Palestinian people. Engage in civil disobedience, strikes, and boycotts.

We know that the worst atrocities in history happened not because of the actions of a few but because of the silence of many. Do not stay silent. Free Palestine.
