Hands off the Middle East! Stop Gaza Genocide!

All out for Palestine this Saturday 10th August, 12pm at St. Peter’s Square!

Hands off the Middle East!

Stop Gaza Genocide!

The Israeli genocide of Gaza rages on past 300 days as the imperialist powers, including Britain, continue to grant the Zionists the green light for their atrocities. Now the Israeli state is pushing the Middle East into all-out regional war following its aggression against Iran, Lebanon, and Yemen, threatening to bring its genocide to all corners of the region.

The Israeli assassination of Palestinian chief negotiator Ismail Haniyeh shows clearly that Netanyahu is not interested in a ceasefire and wants only more bloodshed.

This week in Gaza has seen people burned alive in their tents by the Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) as bombs were dropped on the area around the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in Deir al-Balah on Sunday, a cowardly attack on sleeping civilians.

The same day saw two schools in Al-Nasr neighbourhood, of northwest Gaza City, bombed seconds apart from each other by the IOF, killing at least 30 people. The schools had been acting as makeshift shelters for displaced Palestinians. The IOF also continues its shameless targeting of Palestinian journalists as Al-Jazeera correspondent Ismail al-Ghoul and cameraman Rami al-Rifi were both murdered.

In an act of pure horror, on Monday the occupation delivered an 18-wheeler truck of the bodies of Palestinian martyrs to Gaza. The bodies were decomposing, forcing grieving families to search among the mostly unidentifiable remains to try and find their loved ones.

All this while settler and army brutality escalates day by day in the West Bank.

The situation for Palestinian prisoners has never been more stark, as a report released on Tuesday issued yet more damning testimonies that Israel is running its prisons as torture camps. Last week saw mass disorder from Israeli settlers demonstrating for the right of IOF soldiers to rape Palestinian prisoners. The moral rot at the heart of Zionism continues to be relentlessly exposed.

Whilst the world continues to spin on, our duty here is clear: turn out, turn out, turn out! Raise your voice! Only constant pressure from the masses will force any change in government policy, and win a full arms embargo on Israel. We must not abandon the Palestinians now.

All out on Saturday! Share far and wide!
