Activist events coming up this weekend (Jan 10):
STOP ISRAEL’S MASSACRE IN GAZA!
END THE SIEGE NOW!
WHEN: 1pm, Saturday January 10, 2009
WHERE: Parliament Hill, OttawaThis Saturday will be the largest international day of protest so faragainst Isreal's ongoing massacre in Gaza. In addition to Ottawa, protestsare already planned for Calgary, Fredericton, Montreal, Saskatoon, Toronto,and Vancouver. As the Israeli ground, air and sea assault continues on thecivilian population of Gaza – we need to continue mobilizing against thesewar crimes. At least 540 Palestinians have been killed and thousands injuredin the single largest massacre in Gaza since Israel illegally occupied thearea in 1967.
These latest war crimes occur in the context of official Canadian complicitywith Israel's illegal siege, bombardment and starvation of the civilianpopulation in Gaza. We must denounce the Canadian government's ongoing andunconditional support of Israel, now more than ever.
Last Saturday, thousands demonstrated across Canada and around the world,including 5,000 in Ottawa in the largest Palestine solidarity demonstrationsin decades. This coming Saturday, people across the globe will return to thestreets in internationally coordinated demonstrations against the Israelionslaught.
Join us this Saturday to demand that the Canadian government call for animmediate halt to Israel's attacks, an end to the siege of Gaza, and theimmediate delivery of humanitarian aid!
