DEMONSTRATION!

BREAK THE SIEGE OF GAZA NOW!
END THE OCCUPATION OF ALL OF PALESTINE!
IMPLEMENT PALESTINIAN RIGHT TO RETURN!

TIME: THURSDAY, DECEMBER 4 @ NOON
PLACE: “ISRAELI” CONSULATE, 6380 WILSHIRE BLVD, LA, CA 90035

The Arab and Palestinian communities of Southern California call on their members and all supporting organizations and individuals to demonstrate on Thursday December 4 at noon in front of the "Israeli Consulate" to demand an end to the siege of the Gaza Strip.

On November 4, 'Israel' sent tanks into the Gaza Strip and completely sealed the Strip's border crossings after launching an unprovoked attack that killed six Palestinians. Most of the Gaza Strip is without power due to lack of fuel, and the United Nations has been forced to stop food distribution to those in need.

The humanitarian situation is dire for the people in the Gaza Strip, most importantly the children. The strip is home to 1.5 million Palestinians, 80% of whom are refugees denied by the Zionist state the right to return to their homes and lands of origin from which they were expelled by the Zionist occupation in 1948. Nearly half of the Gaza population are children who along with the elderly and ill remain completely deprived of food, water, fuel, electricity, humanitarian relief and medical supplies or facilities. UNRWA Chief of Operations in the Gaza Strip, John Ging calls the situation ‘very desperate at the humanitarian level’.

We demand the “Israeli” and Egyptian governments immediately END THE SIEGE OF THE GAZA STRIP and grant immediate access to all food, humanitarian and medical relief supplies without restriction.

Join us for the demonstration this Thursday December 4 @ Noon in front of the "Israeli" consulate, 6380 Wilshire Blvd in Los Angeles.
