Stand with Palestine in Manchester
Stop the Bombing and the Massacres in Gaza
UK: Stop Arming Israel

After killing 220 Palestinian unarmed protesters during the Gaza Freedom march Israel is once again massacring people in Gaza with massive bombardments and destruction. At least 12 more Palestinians have been murdered in the last two days, many more injured and homes destroyed.

We cannot let our high street banks profit from their investments in companies serving Israel’s massacres of the Palestinians. An entire people, a population that is mostly children, are being brutalised while the UK’s weapons companies and the investment bankers rub their hands at the joy of profit from mass murder.

RAZAN AL-NAJJAR, A TRACK OF A BUTTERFLY.

Film screening 30 mins followed by a talk and a discussion.

We are so lucky to have Razan AlNajjar’s mother and father in Berlin, they will speak about the situation in Gaza now and the ongoing Great March of Return protest.

Speakers:

Mother of Razan Alnajjar: Sabreen Alnajjar.

Father: Ashraf Alnajjar.

Film maker: Iyad Alasttal

RAZAN EL-NAJJAR, a 21-year-old Palestinian, was killed on 1st June 2018, during the Great Return March, on the eastern edge of Khan Younis in the southern Gaza Strip.

While working as a rescuer and wearing a jacket with the logo of the health services, Razan was fatally hit by an explosive bullet fired by an Israeli army sniper.

Film screening about Razan Alnajjar:
Director: Iyad Alasttal.

In this documentary film, we follow Razan’s mother and her family, in her house, and in the neighborhood, to learn about the life of this young woman, and to discover images of the Great Return March that are held every Friday in Gaza, since March 30th, 2018.

Short Summary about Razan AlNajjar.

Razan al-Najjar, a volunteer health worker, took all the precautions, her colleagues say, but she was still killed when she was struck in the chest by an explosive illegal bullet at the Great Return March.

The 21-year-old was the second medic to be killed in a 10-week Palestinian demonstration movement, and Gaza’s ministry of health says 25 others have been hit with live fire.

Razan Al Najjar had become an icon in Gaza before her death, with dozens of images published online of the woman who wore colourful headscarves and a resolute expression on her face.

She was often photographed with her white coat spattered with the blood of her patients, and one image shows her anxiously kneeling over a young man, feverishly bandaging his bleeding head.

So much to say about Razan, may her soul rest in peace.

Please join us this Saturday 17th of Nov, 2018.

17 November, Sheffield: Emergency Protest – Stop Israeli aggression on besieged Gaza!

Sheffield Town Hall Steps

Once again Israel provokes the start of a bloody attack on the Gaza Strip by infiltrating the eastern part of Khan Younis and killing 7 Palestinians. The same scenario is repeated as in 2008, 2012 and 2014 when they broke the truce; for the record; the Palestinian resistance; Yes resistance; despite having the right to resist occupation, never broke one truce which was brokered in the past by the Egyptian intelligence.

To add insult to injury; Israel is calling for the UN Security Council to meet to discuss the Palestinian terrorist rocket attacks. Israel, the executor is once again portraying itself as the victim.

It’s our duty to give voice to the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip and elsewhere when they are facing the might of the fourth strongest army in the world with bravery that is against all odds.
Please come along; show the Palestinians that you are with them at this difficult time.

17 November, Paris: Protest Israeli massacres and the siege of Gaza

Saturday, 17 November
2:30 pm
Place Saint-Michel
Paris, France

Despite « cease-fire » announcements, a Palestinian fisherman was killed by Israel on Wednesday, and the whole population is still behind barbed wire.

We want the end of the massacres and the end of the siege of Gaza. We want freedom for all Palestinians and the implementation of all their rights.

We will demonstrate on Saturday with the association Salam for Yemen (Peace for Yemen) to ask our French government to stop arming Saudi Arabia that massacres the Yemeni population.

**

Nous vous appelons à nous rejoindre nombreux ce samedi 17 novembre place Saint-Michel à Paris, pour exiger que cessent définitivement les massacres contre la population palestinienne et que soit levé le siège barbare de Gaza, maintenu par Israël et par l’Egypte, avec la collaboration de nos gouvernants.

Netanyahou s’est permis d’annoncer, pendant le “Sommet de la Paix” à Paris, dimanche dernier, alors que nous manifestions Place de la République contre la guerre, qu’il n’y avait “pas d’options diplomatiques” pour Gaza, comparant les 2 millions de femmes, d’hommes et d’enfants qui y sont incarcérés à Daech.

Il a quitté ce sommet pendant que des raids aériens et terrestres israéliens se déchainaient contre la population Gazaouie, tuant plus de 10 Palestiniens, détruisant des immeubles d’habitations, un jardin d’enfant et la télévision de Gaza.

Macron, qui avait convoqué ce Forum de la Paix, n’a pas prononcé la moindre protestation contre ces attaques israéliennes, pas plus que les autres chefs de guerre réunis à son initiative le 11 novembre.

Maintenant, il est question d’un “cessez le feu”, déjà rompu par Israël qui a tué un pêcheur palestinien mercredi.

Non seulement on sait ce que valent les “cessez le feu” israéliens, mais il n’est aucunement question dans ces annonces de rendre leur liberté ni leurs terres aux Palestiniens, en Cisjordanie, à Jérusalem Est, et encore moins à Gaza où ils restent derrière des barbelés, sans possibilité de sortir, de se soigner, privés d’eau potable et d’électricité.

Nous protesterons avec l’association Salam For Yemen (La Paix Pour le Yemen) qui sera présente avec nous pour soutenir les droits des Palestiniens et exiger que le gouvernement français cesse d’armer l’Arabie Saoudite qui massacre la population yemenite.

16 November, Binghamton: Emergency Rally for Gaza

Pegasus Statue, Library Tower

Binghamton, New York
More info: https://www.facebook.com/sjpbinghamton/posts/2140397479558603

We stand united in condemning Israel’s breach of ceasefire and terrorist attacks against Gaza. The attacks resulted in the death of at least 13 Palestinians, injured at least 20, and destroyed 7 buildings (4 of which were apartment complexes, causing hundreds of people to lose their homes). Israel has once again shown that it is a rogue terrorist state that does not care about international law, ceasefires, or human rights with their latest execution of brutal carnage.

This terrorism is largely funded by the US State as well as US academic institutions like #BinghamtonUniversity investing and collaborating with Israeli academia responsible for creating the weapons used in the ethnic cleansing of Palestine. Join us this Friday, November 16th in front of the Pegasus Statue as we rally to bring light to this atrocity and the overall conditions of Gaza in an environment deeply saturated with Zionist normalization.

Honour our fallen comrades in Gaza and bring an end to Binghamton’s ties to Israel!
