Demonstrate Against the Israeli Assault on Gaza! LIFT THE SEIGE!

Demonstrate Against the Israeli Assault on Gaza! LIFT THE SEIGE!

When: Saturday, January 17, 2009 Time: 12:00 p.m.
Where: City Hall, 500 George Street, Peterborough

As the Israeli ground, air and sea assault continues on the civilian population
of Gaza – we need to continue mobilizing against these war crimes. At least
800 Palestinians have been killed and thousands injured in the single largest
massacre in Gaza since Israel illegally occupied the area in 1967.

These latest war crimes occur in the context of official Canadian complicity
with Israel 's illegal siege, bombardment and starvation of the civilian
population in Gaza . We must denounce this on-going support - including the
intensification of bilateral military, political and economic links between
Canada and Israel . Palestinian civil society continues to urge solidarity in
the form of a boycott, divestment and sanctions campaign until Israel complies
with international law. This is the time for people of conscience to take up
this call from Palestine.

On January 3rd, over 10,000 people rallied in Toronto in the largest Palestine
solidarity demonstration in decades. This coming Saturday, millions of people
across the globe will return to the streets in internationally coordinated
demonstrations against the Israeli onslaught.

Join us this Saturday to demand that the Canadian government call for an
immediate halt to Israel 's attacks and an end to the siege of Gaza!
