Massacre in Gaza: Demonstrate Saturday 3 January

Assemble 12.30pm Embankment, London (Embankment tube)



Protests taking place across the country - details www.palestinecampaign.org

The demonstration will march from Embankment to Trafalgar Square for a rally, where speakers include Annie Lennox, Alexei Sayle, Ken Livingstone, Richard Burden MP, Jeremy Corbyn MP, Sarah Teather MP



Bring old shoes to leave for Brown when the march passes Downing Street.

The demonstration will be calling for an immediate end to the Israeli massacre in Gaza and for an immediate lifting of the siege

The New Year begins with an outright refusal of Israel to consider a ceasefire in its massive military assault on the Palestinian people of Gaza. Today the airstrikes and killing are continuing.

It is clear that Israel believes it can act with impunity, continuing to commit war crimes against the illegally occupied Palestinian people.

However the blatant inhumanity of the Israeli actions has resulted in world wide condemnation from the public, with demonstrations in support of the Palestinian people, demanding an end to the siege, an end to the bombardment and an end to occupation. Betty Hunter of Palestine Solidarity Campaign said, “The Israelis may believe their own lies, Western politicians may choose to believe the Israeli lies and the media may choose to publish the Israeli lies, but ordinary people the world over know they are lies and want to put an end to the lies and the occupation.”

2009 must be the year in which the British government ends its complicity with Israel’s repeated violations of international law.

The demonstration in London on 3rd January, supported by more than twenty organizations will be demanding that the British government pledges itself to work for:

· An immediate end to Israel’s military assault on Gaza

· An immediate end to the blockade and siege on Gaza

· An end to Israel’s violations of international law

· An end to Israeli occupation

In addition to this demonstration, British people are protesting in towns around the country.
