Saturday, 10 May -- National Demonstration: Free Palestine
Join us at this demonstration organised by Palestine Solidarity Campaign, Palestinian Forum in Britain & British Muslim Initiative.
On the 60th anniversary of the Nakba, the Catastrophe, we remember the murder, rape and humiliation of Palestinian people by the Israeli occupation of Palestine. We refuse this – or any - shoah.
Israeli mother Nurit Peled, who lost a child in the conflict, has said:
“The State of Israel is able to silence and paralyze the entire world because there was a Holocaust. The State of Israel has acquired a permit to abuse an entire nation because there is anti-Semitism. The State of Israel is bringing existential disaster - economic, social and human, on its citizens and on its subjects and no one dares to stop it because once there was Hitler. And all that while the survivors of the Holocaust are suffering the ignominy of hunger in this country.”
“Racism and megalomania have dictated our lives. . . . It is only pure racism that motivates our best pilots to drop one-ton bombs on residential buildings and it is only racism that permits those criminals to sleep well at night.”
“What unites us is principally faith and a willingness to raise the children that have been left to us so that they will never again allow corrupt, greedy and power-hungry politicians and generals who thirst for blood and conquest to rule over their lives and set them against each other.”
Meet outside Temple tube station / Victoria Embankment at 12.45pm. Look for orange Global Women’s Strike banner and blue Payday - Refusing to Kill banner.
