8 June, Minneapolis/St. Paul: International Days of Protest for Palestine!!

Friday June 8
5-6 PM
Summit and Snelling Aves (weekly Friday vigil; note time change)
St. Paul, MN
Participants in Gaza’s Great March of Return on the eighth Friday of the demonstration.
Gaza Palestinians plan for mass protests to end the blockade and occupation; call for supporters around the world to mobilize in solidarity. “As a nation under occupation, siege and apartheid rule, we need your help to end this oppression, including the blockade of Gaza imposed 12 years ago,”

The National Committee for the Return and Breaking-the-Siege Marches has issued an international call for solidarity events worldwide on June 8 to demand an end to Israel’s oppression and occupation of Palestinian people,to push for a ban on the supply of weapons to Israel and to support the public boycott of Israeli products.

Protests marking two historic dates are planned along Israel’s massive “security fence” in Gaza June 5 and 8. June 5 is the 51st commemoration of the Israeli invasion and occupation of Gaza, the West Bank and East Jerusalem and on June 7 of the same year, Israel seized control over Jerusalem’s Old City. The committee of Palestinians coordinating the ongoing, mass protests in the Gaza Strip are calling on human rights advocates around the world to mobilize June 5 and 8 in solidarity. 

The largest protest in Gaza (as well as in the West Bank) is planned for June 8, since that is a Friday. It also marks the 51st anniversary of the Israeli attack on the USS Liberty in international waters off the Gaza Strip. The intelligence ship was well-marked as an American vessel and only lightly armed. This particular anniversary is ironic, since the Israeli navy just attacked and seized a Palestinian vessel called the Liberty when it attempted to sail out of the Gaza harbor May 29.

9 June, Belfast: Great March of Return

Saturday, 9 June
3:00 pm
City Hall
Belfast, Ireland
Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/events/215489335916550/

Organised by Belfast IPSC and TUFP

Given the level of anger at the new level of callousness being demonstrated by Israel, and the planned use of lethal force to prevent Palestinians demonstrating for their rights, we have agreed to stand alongside our Palestinian brothers and sisters by protesting every Saturday in the centre of Belfast. As they continue with their Great March of Return, so too do we continue to support them.

The Ireland Palestine Solidarity Campaign working alongside TUFP (Trade Union Friends of Palestine) and other solidarity organisations call on all people of conscience here to rally at Belfast City Hall to highlight the growing injustices against the Palestinian people, the inhumanity of the medieval siege of Gaza, causing untold suffering, and the denial of the fundamental right of the Palestinian refugees to return to their homeland.

9 June, Manchester: Protest Israel’s Massacres in Gaza! Stop Arming Israel!

Saturday, 9 June

Piccadilly Gardens
Manchester, UK

STAND WITH GAZA
STAND WITH PALESTINIANS FACING ISRAEL’S MASSACRES

Demonstrate and march this Saturday 9th June, 1pm Piccadilly Gardens, Manchester

Over the past two months, more than 120 Palestinians have been killed. Razan Al-Najjar, a 21-year-old Palestinian nurse, was shot dead by Israel whilst attempting to assist an injured Palestinian protestor. This is Israel’s latest war crime and for every victim of Israel’s war crimes, we will protest for an end of all complicity with Israel’s apartheid regime.

Palestinians have been mobilising for the Great Return March to protest the ongoing occupation and siege of Gaza and despite Israel’s brutal massacre, they have remained resilient and determined to protest their oppressors and plan to continue to protest for their freedom.

More than 120 Palestinians in Gaza have been murdered and 1000s shot and injured since the Great Return March began on 31st March – and still they go out, unarmed to face the Israeli snipers, jeeps, drones and tanks shooting them at the Gaza border. The least we can do is stand with them.

We will keep marching in Manchester and continue to oppose all UK companies and organisations complicit in Israel’s massacres of Palestinians. We will stand against those investing in Israeli Arms companies whose profits increase the more bombs are dropped and the more protesters they kill.

Join the emergency protest/ march calling for an end to complicity in Israel’s military regime.

We will meet at Manchester Piccadilly gardens at 1pm!

Together, our voices will and must be heard!

June 8th will mark the anniversary of Israeli forces violent seizure of Jerusalem.

Let’s send a message to the world that we are only just getting started! Join us at Thomas Paine Plaza at 5PM on FRIDAY JUNE 8th to keep up the pressure on the occupation forces in Israel and their supporters in Philly.

“We urge all free people everywhere to join the Palestinians by organizing solidarity events to demand that their governments exert pressure on Israel to end its oppression and occupation of the Palestinian people.”

Statement from the Legal Committee of the National Commission for the Return and Breaking-the-Siege Marches

The PDOA coalition is specifically reaching out to all nurses, paramedics, and other medical workers to stand in solidarity with 21 year old Razan al-Najjar, who was assassinated by an Israeli sniper last Friday. This blatant and horrific attack on a live-saving first responder cannot be tolerated! To honor Razan’s memory and to stand up for medical workers in Gaza and around the world, please come out on Friday! Wear your scrubs, wear your uniform, and show us the strength and compassion that lives in all medical workers.
