We gather as a protest against last Friday’s shooting of defenseless protesters in Gaza, with 1400 wounded and 18 killed – as once again, Israel’s attacks on civilians have no international consequences.

We show our sadness and sympathy with the wounded and survivors, from residents of Norrebro to our fellow citizens in Palestine.

The proceeds will go to the Red Crescent, which provides first aid, runs ambulances for the wounded and operates hospitals in Gaza.

At 7:00 pm, there will be a talk by Sarah Pritchett of the Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Monitor on the situation in Gaza.

Come and eat for Gaza!

Støtte-folkekøkken for civile i Gaza

Som en direkte protest mod sidste fredags nedskydning af forsvarsløse demonstranter i Gaza. 1400 sårede og 18 dræbte og endnu engang får Israels angreb på civile ingen internationale konsekvenser.

Vi viser vores sorg og sympati med de sårede og efterladte. Fra beboere på Nørrebro til vores medmennesker i Palæstina.

Overskuddet går til Red Crescent, der som en del af det internationale Røde Kors, der yder førstehjælp, kører ambulancer med sårede og driver hospitaler i Gaza.

Kl. 19 er der et indlæg fra Sarah Prichett, talsperson fra Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Monitor, der vil give et kort oprids af situationen i Gaza.

Kom og spis – for Gaza!”

The Ghassan Kanafani Resistance and Solidarity Front for Palestine is organizing an important event on the “East Med” gas pipeline linking Greece, Cyprus, Italy and Israel. The EastMed pipeline is the vehicle for the theft of the gas from the Leviathan deposit located within the territorial waters of the Gaza Strip.

Speakers will be:

Mohammed Khatib, Samidoun Palestinian Prisoner Solidarity Network
Nikos Glezakos, security specialist
Dimitris Patelis, professor of philosophy, Technical University of Crete
Pavlos Toumanidis, international affairs expert, member of DIKKI
Stella Patrona, Consumers’ Association

About East Med:

On 3 April 2017 a joint declaration was signed to promote the East Med gas pipeline between Greece – Cyprus – Italy – Israel. The EastMed pipeline is the vehicle for the theft of the gas of the Leviathan deposit located within the territorial waters of the Gaza Strip. The framework for the confiscation of the rights of Palestine over its waters came in 1967 war in which Gaza was placed under Israeli occupation, to be followed by capitulation with the Oslo Accords in 1993. Israeli invasions which took place in 2008-2009 and then in 2014, de facto seized the underwater wealth of the Gaza Strip for Israel.

The SYRIZA-ANEL government, loyal to the Euro-Atlanticism of the local economic oligarchy, submits the country to Israeli, American and EU plans. Greece’s involvement in the EastMed issue is not only related to plans to supply energy to Europe from stolen gas deposits, but it reflects a broader political pursuit of the Greek bourgeoisie for aligning with the interests of Israel, as shown by relevant debates in the Greek Parliament. With this agreement, it believes that it will be able to compete with Turkey, particularly with regard to its aspirations in the gas fields of Cyprus. This association strengthens Greece’s ties with NATO, EU forces. and Israel, making it even more difficult to disengage from dependency on the imperialists.

It should be noted that the issue of EastMed, like any energy issue, is of paramount importance to the fate of the peoples involved. Suffice it to recall how directly connected with oil management are the wars that have been taking place in the Middle East for decades. Despite its importance, however, EastMed remains unknown to the majority of Greeks.

Λίγα λόγια για τον East Med

Στις 3 Απριλίου του 2017 υπογράφτηκε κοινή διακήρυξη για την προώθηση του αγωγού μεταφοράς φυσικού αερίου East Med ανάμεσα σε Ελλάδα – Κύπρο – Ιταλία – Ισραήλ. Ο αγωγός EastMed αποτελεί το όχημα για την κλοπή του φυσικού αερίου του κοιτάσματος Λεβιάθαν που βρίσκεται μέσα στα χωρικά ύδατα της Λωρίδας της Γάζας. Η βάση για την αμφισβήτηση των δικαιωμάτων της Παλαιστίνης επί των υδάτων της, τέθηκε το 1967 και τον πόλεμο των έξι ημερών, κατά τον οποίο η Γάζα τέθηκε υπό ισραηλινή κατοχή, για να ακολουθήσει η συνθηκολόγηση με την συμφωνία του Όσλο το 1993. Οι Ισραηλινές εισβολές που πραγματοποιήθηκαν το 2008-2009 και μετέπειτα το 2014 πέρασαν de facto τον έλεγχο του υποθαλάσσιου πλούτου της Λωρίδας της Γάζας στο Ισραήλ.

Η κυβέρνηση ΣΥΡΙΖΑ – ΑΝΕΛ, πιστή στον ευρωατλαντισμό της ντόπιας οικονομικής ολιγαρχίας υποτάσσει τη χώρα στα σχέδια του Ισραήλ, των ΗΠΑ και της ΕΕ. Η εμπλοκή της Ελλάδας στην υπόθεση EastMed, δεν σχετίζεται μόνο με τα σχέδια για παροχή ενέργειας στην Ευρώπη από τα κλεμμένα κοιτάσματα, αλλά αντανακλά μία ευρύτερη πολιτική επιδίωξη της ελληνικής αστικής τάξης για σύμπλευση με τα συμφέροντα του Ισραήλ, όπως φαίνεται και από σχετικές συζητήσεις στην ελληνική βουλή. Με την σύμπλευση αυτή, θεωρεί ότι θα καταφέρει να ανταγωνιστεί την Τουρκία, κυρίως όσον αφορά τις επιδιώξεις της στα κοιτάσματα της Κύπρου. Αυτή η σύμπλευση ισχυροποιεί τους δεσμούς της Ελλάδας με τις δυνάμεις του ΝΑΤΟ, της Ε.Ε. και του Ισραήλ, κάνοντας ακόμη πιο δύσκολη την απεμπλοκή της από την ιμπεριαλιστική εξάρτηση. Επίσης μετατρέπει την Ελλάδα σε παράγοντα που δρα ενάντια στα συμφέροντα του παλαιστινιακού αγώνα και γενικότερα την βάζει απέναντι στο αντιιμπεριαλιστικό κίνημα της Μέσης Ανατολής.

Πρέπει να αναφερθεί πως το ζήτημα του EastMed, όπως και κάθε ζήτημα που αφορά την ενέργεια, είναι θέμα ύψιστης σημασίας για την τύχη των λαών που εμπλέκονται. Αρκεί να υπενθυμίσουμε πόσο άμεσα συνδεόμενοι με την διαχείριση του πετρελαίου είναι οι πόλεμοι που διεξάγονται εδώ και δεκαετίες στην Μέση Ανατολή. Παρά την σημαντικότητά του όμως, το θέμα του EastMed παραμένει άγνωστο στην πλειονότητα των Ελλήνων.

Join UW SJP in welcoming the International Solidarity Movement, who are on their North American tour informing Americans about the situation in Palestine.

“In 2002, the International Solidarity Movement grabbed world attention by bringing volunteers from around the world to defend Palestine through nonviolent resistance. They stayed with resistance fighters trapped under siege in the Nativity Church in Bethlehem. They brought medical supplies to the besieged Palestinians in the ancient Nablus Casbah. They documented and filmed the destruction and mass killing of Palestinians in the Jenin refugee camp. In 2002 and 2003, thousands participated at their own expense.

One was Rachel Corrie, who was killed trying to prevent demolition of a home in Gaza. Another was Tom Hurndall, killed by a shot to the head. ISM has operated continuously since then, serving at the request of the Palestinian community through participation in Palestinian nonviolent resistance. In 2009, 2012 and 2014, ISM volunteers were with the Palestinian people in Gaza, reporting the Israeli invasion and helping in the hospitals, clinics and schools that were attacked even as they served the refugees.”

The ISM speakers that will be speaking are Joe Catron and Islam Maraqa.

On 30 March 2018, the #GreatReturnMarch, a 40-day action leading up to the 70th commemoration of the Nakba, began, with Palestinian refugees claiming their right to return and demanding an end of the illegal siege on Gaza. The Palestinians in Gaza protested peacefully at the “borders” of the Israeli state that prevents their return. The Israeli army responded with immense violence. 17 people were killed and more than 1400 people injured on one day. In the following days, many more people were injured and killed in other actions.

We cannot stand by without showing our solidarity!

In addition to demonstrating solidarity, we also demand
– The end of the occupation and colonization of the Palestinian territories (Resolution 242 United Nations Security Council)
– Recognizing the fundamental rights and full equality of the Palestinian inhabitants of the Israeli territories;
– Respect, protect and promote the rights of Palestinian refugees to return to their homes and possessions (Resolution 194 United Nations General Assembly).

Op 30 maart 2018 startte de #GreatReturnMarch, een 40-dagen actie tot aan de herdenkingsdag voor Nakba, dit om hun recht op terugkeer op te eisen en de illegale blokkade van de Gazastrook aan te klagen. Bij deze actie protesteren de Palestijnen in de Gazastrook op vreedzame wijze aan de
Apartheidsmuur die hun terugkeer onmogelijk maakt.
Het Israëlische leger reageerde hierop met enorm veel geweld, 17 mensen werden gedood en meer dan 1400 mensen verwond op 1 dag.
De opvolgende dagen zijn er op andere acties ook nog veel mensen verwond en gedood, waaronder ook kinderen, vrouwen en journalisten.

Als werking die opkomt voor het Palestijnse volk kunnen we niet lijdzaam toezien zonder onze solidariteit te tonen. Daarom komen we op woensdag 11 april 2018 bijeen om onze steun te tonen.

Naast solidariteit te tonen eisen we ook
– Het einde van de bezetting en kolonisatie van de Palestijnse gebieden (Resolutie 242 Veiligheidsraad Verenigde Naties)
– Het erkennen van de fundamentele rechten en de volledige gelijkwaardigheid van de Palestijnse inwoners van de Israëlische gebieden;
– Het respecteren, beschermen en promoten van de rechten van Palestijnse vluchtelingen om terug te keren naar hun huizen en bezittingen (Resolutie 194 Algemene Vergadering Verenigde Naties).

Yassir Murtaja, 30, had an infectious smile and a heart of gold. He was known to those who knew him as a selfless friend who always put the love for his people and his community first. He was a loving father and husband, a courageous journalist who exposed Israeli crimes and showed the life under Israeli siege and occupation. Yassir was murdered yesterday by Israeli forces while he was reporting on the Great Return March, mass protests that have been taking place in Gaza since March 30th. He was wearing a PRESS vest and helmet when he got shot by snipers.

We call on our friends and community in NYC to come together to stand in reflection and remembrance of Yassir and the 30 other Palestinian martyrs who have been killed by the Israeli oppressors.

We ask that you please bring candles and flowers.

Emergency Rally in Solidarity of Gaza and the Great Return March

(Washington, D.C., April 7, 2018) – On Sunday, April 8th, a grassroots coalition of activists will be holding a rally at the Israeli Embassy in Washington, D.C. in solidarity with the people of Gaza to demand:

• Palestinians be allowed to return to their homes peacefully according to UN resolution 194
• Palestinians be allowed to protest and demonstrate peacefully without being attacked
• An end to the siege on Gaza so that Palestinians may live normal lives

WHAT: Emergency Gaza Solidarity Rally
WHEN: Sunday, April 8th, 12noon
WHERE: Embassy of Israel, 3514 International Drive NW, Washington, D.C.
CONTACT: info@ampalestine.org

On March 30, during the Great Return March, the people of Gaza chose to protest for their right to return to their homeland. The Israeli military responded to this courageous action by opening fire against the crowds, killing at least 31 and wounding hundreds.

SEE: Protests in Gaza are leading to many deaths and injuries among Palestinians, yet Israel has faced little criticism
https://www.independent.co.uk/voices/israel-palestine-gaza-march-of-return-protest-deaths-a8292601.html

As the people of Gaza continue to march for their rights and come under fire, we organize in response to the killings to call on the U.S. government and members of Congress to end their silence and demand accountability for Israel’s grievous actions.

Note: This will be a nonviolent action. The organizers do not take accountability for or encourage violence of any kind.
