All out in Manchester on Saturday, 04 October, 12pm, Manchester Cathedral. 2 years of genocide in Gaza. End Israeli occupation! The demonstration will finish at Know Their Names event in St. Peter’s to honour the names of lives of Palestinian children brutally killed by Israel in Gaza.
We are nearing two years of genocide in Gaza, a genocide that has been ongoing relentlessly and undeterred, where Israel has perfected unimaginable forms of torture, murder, displacement, starvation and heinous crimes that we are watching lives on our screens. For two years we have seen Western establishment, including the British, provide all kinds of support to Israel to enable and facilitate the genocide.
This genocide is not an anomaly for the Zionist entity, but an escalation of over 77 years of ethnic cleansing, occupation and oppression, all of which lie at the heart of Israel’s true barbaric nature. Not too far away from Gaza, in the West Bank, settlement expansion, raids, imprisonment and settler violence are the norm. Israel will stop at nothing to further entrench and perpetuate its occupation of Palestine. In 48 Palestine, entire communities in the Naqab are facing the imminent threat of forced displacement. All across Palestine, Israel is doing what it does best, subjecting Palestinians to all kinds of violence, while Gaza is bearing the heaviest brunt of all.
In honour of the over 20,000 children killed on Gaza, our demonstration will finish at the Know Their Names event organised by FoA and other groups in Manchester, where the names of children will be read out in commemoration of their lives, because our martyrs are not numbers nor statistics, but are entire lives and dreams and future that Palestine has lost.
So join the demonstration and the event and promise to keep going in solidarity with the Palestinians and their struggle for justice and liberation. Meeting at Manchester Cathedral, Victoria st, M3 1SX, on Saturday, 04 October, 12pm.
