On Friday 30th March 2018, 10’s of 1000’s of Palestinians in Gaza gathered at the border fence for the beginning of the Great Return March home to the land and homes stolen from them and their forbears in 1948. They were met with lethal, accurate pinpoint brutality. Shoot-to-kill snipers, tanks with artillery, drones with teargas rained down upon peaceful unarmed protesters. 15 Palestinians lost their lives, murdered by Israeli Occupation Forces. 1400+ were injured, many seriously.
We call on the Irish & UK governments, the EU and the United Nations to take action against Israel’s war crimes and total impunity. We demand the expulsion of Israeli diplomats from Ireland and for sanctions to be imposed. It is not enough to churn out pointless platitudes time after time while Israel continues to flout international law and conventions.
Palestinians in Gaza live under a brutal siege imposed by Israel and enforced by Egypt and the inaction of the International Community. They are exercising their legal right enshrined in UN Resolution 194 – the right of return.
PLEASE COME OUT AND SHOW YOUR SUPPORT FOR PALESTINE AND ANGER AT THE BRUTALITY OF THE ISRAELI OCCUPATION FORCES.
Boykot Israel DK takes the streets Saturday 7 April at Norreport in Copenhagen. We will bring orange Boycott Israel banners, flyers and stickers and proceed to nearby supermarkets to urge customers to boycott all Israeli goods so long as occupation and apartheid persist. After Israel’s massacre in Gaza where the occupation military fired on protesters, killing at least 17 Palestinians and injuring 1400, the boycott of Israel is very important!
SPEAK OUT AGAINST ISRAEL’S CRIMINAL ACTIONS IN GAZA
On 30 March, Palestinians in the Gaza Strip demonstrated peacefully on Land Day for their right to return and denouncing Israel’s illegal siege of the Gaza Strip.
On 30 March 17 Palestinians were killed in Gaza by Israeli armed forces as thousands demonstrated at the start of the ‘Great March of Return’.
STOP ISRAEL’S KILLING OF PALESTINIANS!!!
On Friday, 30 March, 16 Palestinians were killed and over 1416 injured by the snipers and gunmen of the Israeli occupation army o the occasion of Land Day. Around 30,000 Palestinians gathered at the “borders” of the Gaza Stip for a peaceful march under the slogan, “The Grand March of Return,” to demand the right of return of Palestinian refugees to their homes and villages of origin and the application of UN Resolution 194 and to break the siege imposed on Gaza for 11 years.
Since 30 March, Palestinians in Gaza (two-thirds of whom are refugees) have started a March of Return to peacefully protest the inhumane conditions to which they are subjected by Israel.
Gather in solidarity with Palestinians in Gaza after Israeli occupation forces murdered over 16 and wounded over 1,400 during the mass, peaceful Great March of Return on Land Day, 30 March.
