In Brazil’s favelas, activists find common ground with Palestinians in Gaza

Residents of Brazil’s poorest neighbourhoods say they see their struggles reflected in Israel’s treatment of Gaza.

Cosme Felippsen’s nephew was 17 years old when he was killed by Brazil’s military police in a Rio de Janeiro alley nicknamed the Gaza Strip.

“Almost every favela in Rio has an area residents call Gaza,” Felippsen said, pointing to the bullet holes along the alley walls. Residents have used the name for at least 15 years, he added. “It designates the area where most of the gunfire is concentrated at any given time.”

The neighbourhood where Felippsen’s nephew, José Vieira, died in 2017 is called Morro da Providência. It is one of hundreds of impoverished communities — or favelas — strewn across the city.

Activists and residents say the violence they have seen in the favelas has given them unique insight into the urban warfare currently unfolding in Gaza, a Palestinian territory under Israeli siege. And the parallels they perceive are motivating them to take action.

“Militarisation, armed groups executing inhabitants — many things that happen in Palestine also happen in the favelas of Rio de Janeiro,” said Felippsen, a local politician and tour guide who specialises in Black history.

They want America to become Brazil. A failed autocratic state where workers and the rest of the population have no rights at all. A land where people live in corrugated metal shacks alongside landfills with open sewers running trough the dirt roads.

If you want a corporate fascist state where oligarchs control the Congress, the Predidency, and SCOTUS, then you too can live in a Brazilian favela as a serf with nothing but the clothes on your back.

Fernando

Fernando era un niño perdidoLos dulces quince asistiendo a su primera bailaLos gángsters pisotearon su teléfonoSin fotosHuyendo entre los callejones de la favelaLe pisaron la cabezaDisparos saludando la nocheCuando era niña pensé que el mundo podría cambiar, y tal vez lo cambiaríaOh, qué rápido pasan los añosPero aquí siempre han cantado la misma canción:¿Quién es nuestro creador?¿Por qué fuimos…

Coming back to an old cast of OCs from one of my first comic series. I had abandoned the idea awhile ago, too rough, too basic. But recently I re-tooled the whole story, massively simplifying some parts while expanding the scope. Same characters, new universe. Just the beginning

Police Raid a Favela in Rio de Janeiro

At least 25 people have been killed by a police raid in Rio's Vila Cruzeiro favela. The police operation aimed to attack a crime gang, but stray bullets also hit innocent residents. Prosecutors have opened a criminal investigation, giving the police 10 days to explain the attack took and to justify such use of lethal force. 

This is the second deadliest police raid in Brazil's recent history, just behind last year's raid in the Jacarezinho favela which killed 28. The Brazilian Supreme Court ruled following the incident that lethal force should only be used in self-defense when all other means have been exhausted.

Os brancos ricos colonizadores avarentos quem ataque o economía deles países africanos fazem isso. Tudos deles necessitam estarcpra tudo seu vida nas prisoes. Tmbm todos os seus ganhos ilícitos precisam ser devolvidos ao povo da África cujos recursos foram roubados por esses colonizadores desprezíveis e malignos. Em todos os lugares vemos nossa pobreza. É por isso que precisamos praticar Njia Uhuru Kipura para autodefesa em todos os lugares e expulsar os governos e corporações da China, EUA, Índia e todos os outros grupos não indígenas de Alkebulan de nosso continente nativo e ancestral da África. Isso inclui os árabes racistas, que foram os primeiros a criar a escravidão baseada na raça. #atacxgymcapoeiraguerreirosdasruas #kipura #atacxgymcapoeira #pretoscomarmasimportam #pretodefesapessoalimportam #pessoas #brasileirospelomundo #frentenegrabrasileira #vidasnegrasimportam #vidaspretasimportam #excelenciapreto #excelêncianegra_ #lutaporjustiça #justicapornegras #favelas #vidanasfavelasimportam #quilombo #resistencia #justiça #justiçaportudo #justiçasocial #racismonão #racismo #mariellefranco #protegenossamulheres #protegenossacriancas #protegermulheresnegras WEBSITE/SITE: https://sites.google.com/view/atacxgymcapoeira/home YOUTUBE: https://youtube.com/c/ATACXGYMCAPOEIRA INSTAGRAM: instagram.com/atacxgymcapoeira/, TWITTER: https://twitter.com/atacxgym, BLOG: atacxgymcapoeira.blogspot.com :FACEBOOK GROUP PAGE: https://www.facebook.com/groups/capoeiraselfdefensethatworks/ FACEBOOK PERSONAL ATACX GYM PAGE: https://www.facebook.com/AtacxGymStreetWarriorCapoeira https://www.instagram.com/p/Cg1vQ6Wrs_r/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Brazil favela chefs say poor should eat well, too

Brazilian chef Ana Lucia Costa is putting the finishing touches on an exquisite dish of marinated pork loin with lime and ginger, preparing to serve around 100 diners.

But this is no upscale Rio de Janeiro restaurant. She is cooking in her small shack in Rocinha, Rio's biggest favela, for people who would probably go hungry without her.

Costa runs one of 52 "solidarity kitchens" launched in Brazil by Gastromotiva, a charitable organization that provides volunteers in poor communities with culinary training, ingredients and a mission: not just feed the hungry, but delight their palates and bring some happiness to those who need it most.

"Why shouldn't poor people eat well?" asks Costa, who pours pasta and a tomato sauce seasoned with za'atar spice into the pan.

Un giorno a Rocinha, la più grande Favela di Rio de Janeiro.

Durante la nostra visita di Rio de Janeiro, abbiamo visitato anche ROCINHA, la più grande e antica favela della città. Abbiamo voluto visitarne una, anche per capire quale sia la realtà quotidiana di chi qui vive. Buona Lettura!

Le favelas sono qualcosa di strettamente legato all’immaginario del Brasile e specialmente delle sue grandi città, una su tutte, Rio de Janeiro.Insieme al Cristo, il Carnevale e la Caipirinha, le favelas sono sicuramente una delle cose che, chiunque parli dalla megalopoli, ha sentito nominare almeno una volta. In questo articolo vogliamo raccogliere tutte le informazioni apprese durante il tour…
