“Look the other way? In our name!” – a performative intervention against naive concepts of peace

Peace movements are important. They can create spaces for dialogue, solidarity, and change.

But they lose their power when they ignore the reality of violence, occupation, and responsibility.

That is exactly what is happening right now: Demands that sound like peace are not directed against the cause of the violence –but against those who are defending themselves.

Peace without justice is no peace! It means uncertainty and leaves people defenseless.

We are not against peace and the path towards it. We oppose a naive notion of peace that ignores violence, occupation, and responsibility.

That is why we are taking to the streets. To show: Not in our name.
Because: Not everything that sounds like peace actually leads to real peace.
