Join us tomorrow in solidarity with Gaza and the 16 Palestinian martyrs shot down by the Israeli occupation. Palestinians in Gaza marched in their thousands as part of the Great March of Return, a 45 day protest demanding the right of return. This was planned to coincide with Land Day (today) up until Nakba day (May 15th) which marks the ethnic cleansing of the Palestinian people that we know is ongoing. What is happening right now in Gaza is nothing short of a massacre and we must demand an end of British imperialist support to Zionist crimes and uplift the efforts of the Palestinian people struggling for return and liberation! #Gaza #LandDay#GreatMarchOfReturn #Palestine

We will be having a rolling protest in solidarity with Gaza and calling for an end to British imperialist support for Israel. We will be protesting down Oxford Street telling people to boycott stores that have business links with Apartheid Israel. The aim of the protest is to highlight the support of British corporations, businesses and banks to Israel. We will be calling to push for boycott of such corporations that continue to collaborate with the Israeli crimes.

Stand in Solidarity with Gaza
Boycott Israel! Zionism is Racism!
Break Britain’s link with Apartheid Israel!
Victory to the Palestinian resistance!

March 30 is a date of great significance in the Palestinian national liberation movement. On this date in 1976, the Palestinian masses in the Galilee, the Naqab, and the rest of Occupied Palestine 1948, as well as the Palestinian masses in the lands occupied in 1967 and in the diaspora (Shataat), rose up against the policy of land confiscation by the Zionist state. The Palestinian people struggled to defend the land that has birthed and embraced them, to which they have given their blood. The Palestinian struggle against the Zionist entity is a struggle for liberation; a struggle to liberate the land, for the return of Palestinian refugees at the core of the Palestinian cause.

Land Day in 1976 and the uprising of Palestinian youth also exhibited to the world the falsity of the Zionist myth of a “land without a people for a people without a land,” confirming the role of the Palestinian people of 1948 and the depth of their connection, power and resistance as an integral part of the Palestinian Arab nation.

The racist apartheid of the Zionist regime has attempted to falsify history and geography and erase the national identity of the Palestinian people in Occupied Palestine 1948. Despite the state policies, decisions and actions of racism, the Palestinians of 1948 continue to uphold their rights as the indigenous people of the land. Land Day is an eternal icon of pride, of the sacrifices and blood of the Palestinians of the Galilee, the Triangle, the Naqab, Umm al-Fahm and Sakhnin, asserting that the land of Palestine is that of the Palestinian people.
