Tens of thousands of Palestinians in Gaza defied Israeli terror to gather at the boundaries of the “buffer zone” imposed on Gaza by the Israeli occupation army. They declared their right of eturn and that of millions of Palestinian refugees, uprooted from their ancestral home by force. The Zionist army did not hesitate to fire on unarmed protesters; more than 15 dead and 1,000 injured as Palestinians continue to resist Israeli occupation.

Organized by the Solidarity Initiative for the Palestinian People

Δεκάδες χιλιάδες Παλαιστίνιοι στη Λωρίδα της Γάζας αψήφησαν τη τρομοκρατία του Ισραήλ. Συγκεντρώθηκαν στα όρια της «νεκρής ζώνης» που εδώ και μια δεκαετία έχει επιβάλλει ο Ισραηλινός στρατός στη Γάζα, διεκδικώντας το δικαίωμα στην επιστροφή  για τους χιλιάδες Παλαιστίνιους πρόσφυγες που ξεριζώθηκαν και ξεριζώνονται από τις πατρογονικές τους εστίες. Ο σιωνιστικός στρατός δεν δίστασε για ακόμη μια φορά να προτάξει τα μυδράλια απέναντι σε άοπλους διαδηλωτές. Πάνω από 10 νεκροί και 500 τραυματίες είναι ο φόρος αίματος για τους παλαιστίνιους που συνεχίζουν να αντιστέκονται στην ισραηλινή κατοχή.

Καλούμε όλους και όλες στην πρεσβεία του Ισραήλ το Σάββατο 31 Μάρτη 6:30μμ.
Η νέα θηριωδία του Ισραήλ να μην μείνει αναπάντητη.

Νίκη στα όπλα της Παλαιστινιακής Αντίστασης.
Τερματισμός κάθε σχέσης της χώρας μας με το Ισραήλ.
Λευτεριά στην Παλαιστίνη.

5 April, Copenhagen: Write a letter of solidarity to Palestinian child prisoners

Right now, 330 Palestinian child prisoners are held in Israeli prisons. Approximately 700 Palestinian children under the age of 18 from the occupied West Bank are prosecuted every year through Israeli military courts after being arrested, interrogated and detained by the Israeli army. The most common charge levied against children is throwing stones, a crime that is punishable under military law by up to 20 years in prison. Since 2000, more than 12,000 Palestinian children have been detained. Palestinians tried in Israeli military courts face a 99.7 % conviction rate and are denied a just and due process.

Come join us for an evening of writing letters of support and solidarity to a few of these imprisoned minors. Bring a friend and drop by the MellemRummet Café to write a letter (in English or Arabic), have a coffee, listen to Palestinian music, and eat Palestinian snacks. We will collect all the letters and send them to the families of the child prisoners.

AHED TAMIMI
Since december 2017, the then 16-year old Palestinian teenage activist Ahed Tamimi has been detained by Israeli authorities for slapping an Israeli soldier. After being tried in an Israeli military court behind closed doors, she’s now been sentenced to 8 months in prison.

Ahed lives in the village of Nabi Saleh in the occupied West Bank. Every week, villagers demonstrate against the illegal Israeli settlement built on their land and the theft of the fresh-water spring by settlers. During a demonstration, a soldier shot Ahed’s 15-year-old cousin Mohammad in the face from close range, shattering his skull. He was rushed to the hospital and medically induced into a coma. Shortly after, soldiers came to Ahed’s home, and it was then that Ahed slapped and pushed a soldier, trying to make them leave her home. Later that week, the soldiers came back to arrest Ahed in the middle of the night, and in the following days, also her mother Nuriman and cousin Nour were arrested by Israeli soldiers.

If you are not able to attend the letter writing café in person, you can send words of support for Ahed here: https://www.ms.dk/tamimi

ABDUL-KHALIQ BURNAT
On the night of December 10th 2017, 17-year-old Abdul-Khaliq Burnat was beaten and arrested by Israeli soldiers while he was on his way to get pizza with two of his friends. All three teenagers were taken to Ofer Military Prison where they are still being detained.
Abdul-Khaliq is the son of prominent Palestinian activist Iyad Burnat, an active leader of the Non-Violent Resistance Movement in the village of Bil’in in the occupied West Bank. For more than 10 years, the villagers have held weekly demonstrations to protest the illegal eight-meter tall concrete wall and Israeli settlement built on village lands.
A year ago in January 2017, Abdul-Khaliq was shot in the head with a rubber coated steel bullet while attending the weekly protest. Now he is facing charges for damaging the wall and stone-throwing. Abdul-Khaliq is a senior in high school, and was planning on going to college abroad after graduation.

SHADI FARAH
In December 2015, 12-year old Shadi Farah became the youngest Palestinian political prisoner. Shadi and his friend Ahmad were arrested at a bus stop in Jerusalem. A group of East Jerusalem illegal settlers called police to investigate the two boys, on suspicion of being Palestinian.
In the ensuing process of arrest, interrogation, and abuse, the Israeli police proclaimed that the two boys had gone to Jerusalem with the intent to stab a soldier, and subsequently charged them both with attempted manslaughter. During the interrogation, the boys were shouted at, beaten and given electric shocks. According to Shadi’s family, he still maintains his innocence, but in the Israeli courts, no evidence is needed to convict a Palestinian.
Shadi is now imprisoned in Masra youth detention centre in Israel, a facility for teenagers incarcerated for theft, assault and drug possession, where he suffers from abuse and isolation. His family visits him as often as possible, but travelling from the hometown Kufr Akab to the north of Israel is expensive, and the Farah family has no prospect of paying for a good lawyer to take Shadi’s case.

Please come and join us in commemorating the 42nd anniversary of Land Day in Palestine. This is when Israeli police forces killed and injured over 100 Palestinians, who were protesting Israel’s policies of land expropriation. This important day in Palestinian history came to be known as Land Day or [Yom El Ard] in Arabic. Palestinians commemorate it to demonstrate their commitment to the right and ownership of their land.
Our round-table discussion will be centered around the history of Land Day, Settler Colonialism in Palestine, and how popular resistance movements were mobilized and organized to demonstrate against Israeli methods of land grab and theft.

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.

يوم الأرض الفلسطيني هو يوم يُحييه الفلسطينيون في 30 آذار من كلِ سنة، وتَعود أحداثه لآذار 1976 بعد أن قامت السّلطات الإسرائيلية بمصادرة آلاف الدّونمات من الأراضي ذات الملكيّة الخاصّة أو المشاع في نطاق حدود مناطق ذات أغلبيّة سكانيّة فلسطينيّة، وقد عم اضراب عام ومسيرات من الجليل إلى النقب، وأندلعت مواجهات أسفرت عن سقوط ستة شهداء فلسطينيين وأُصيب واعتقل المئات.
يعتبر يوم الأرض حدثاً محورياً في الصراع على الأرض وفي علاقة المواطنين العرب بالجسم السياسي الإسرائيلي حيث أن هذه هي المرة الأولى التي يُنظم فيها العرب في فلسطين منذ عام 1948 احتجاجات رداً على السياسات الإسرائيلية بصفة جماعية وطنية فلسطينية
Land Day: March 30, is an annual day of commemoration for Palestinians of the events of that date in 1976. In response to the Israeli government’s announcement of a plan to expropriate thousands of dunams of land for security and settlement purposes, a general strike and marches were organized in Arab towns from the Galilee to the Negev. In the ensuing confrontations with the Israeli army and police, six Palestinian citizens were killed, about one hundred were wounded, and hundreds of others arrested.

On March 30, Israeli occupation forces murdered at least 13 Palestinians and injured more than 1,200. using live ammunition, rubber-coated steel bullets, and huge quantities of tear gas. The massive protests in cities across Gaza — the world’s largest open-air prison — were held on Land Day and were the start of a six-week long mobilization leading up to al-Nakba Day, May 15, which commemorates the expulsion of more than 750,000 Palestinians from their homeland in 1948 to make way for the state of Israel. The protest is called the Great March of Return, and demands that the expelled Palestinian be allowed to return to their land.

The Israeli occupation forces, while attempting to turn reality upside down by claiming to have been acting in “self-defense,” reported suffering zero casualties.

Join us to protest this latest atrocity by the Israeli occupiers and stand in solidarity with the Palestinian people.

After the decision to move the US embassy to Jerusalem, the Trump administration announced with all bravado that it will transfer its embassy on the 70th anniversary of the Palestinian Nakba, 15 May 2018, declaring the legitimacy of the Zionist occupation of Jerusalem and support for its crimes against the Palestinian people. At the same time, the Palestinian people continue their struggle for the liberation of the land and the right of return, declaring Palestinian Land Day as a day of marches for return.

BDS Turkey invites you to participate in the sixth sit-in for Jerusalem, a vigil of protest outside the Zionist embassy in Istanbul, to raise our voices of solidarity with the Palestinian people in their historic struggle and in support of the Great March of Return.

بعد قرار نقل السفارة الأمريكية إلى القدس، أعلنت الإدارة الأمريكية بكل تبجح أنها ستنقل سفارتها في الذكرى السبعين للنكبة الفلسطينية “15/5/2018″، معلنة بذلك شرعنتها للاحتلال الصهيوني للقدس ودعمها لجرائمه بحق شعب فلسطين. وفي ذات الوقت يستمر الشعب الفلسطيني بنضاله من أجل حرية الأرض وحق العودة معلنا عن يوم الأرض الفلسطيني كيوم لمسيرات العودة.
