Statement on the Fuckparade’s Position Regarding the Gaza Conflict (August 20, 2026)
As un.core.bar, we explicitly distance ourselves from the post made by the official Fuckparade account on August 20, 2026, regarding the Gaza conflict. The fact that it was initially shared was a mistake, and we apologize for it.
As un.core.bar, we take a clear stance against nationalism, colonialism, antifeminism, racism, religious fundamentalism, and ableism, regardless of their origin or justification. We stand in solidarity with all marginalized people and those affected by war and displacement, regardless of which side of the conflict they are on. We firmly advocate for human rights, equality, progressive politics, and a society in which all people can live peacefully with one another and sustainably with the environment.
For this reason, we deeply regret the post from August 20, 2026, on the official Fuckparade Instagram account. While we are part of the Fuckparade organizing team, this post was not coordinated or agreed upon within the organizing team and does not reflect the position of the majority of the Fuckparade organizers or the involved collectives. Like the other collectives involved in this year’s Fuckparade, Gabber Industries Berlin, hakke.berlin, pieps.kollektiv, and the CAOS Collective, we also distance ourselves from this post.
Currently, we are discussing within the Fuckparade organizing team how to handle this situation. We are working on solutions to prevent such individual actions in the future while ensuring a nuanced approach to the topic. In doing so, we take a clear stance against the aforementioned authoritarian ideologies.
We ask for some time to appropriately address this incident within the Fuckparade organizing team and will publish an official statement in the near future.
