Since mid-June, Israel has been waging a brutal assault on the people of Palestine inside Gaza the occupied West Bank. Murdering 172 Palestinians in Gaza, 35 children, 26 women.
On July 9, Israel knowingly bombed a beachside café where civilians had gathered to watch the World Cup. Six innocent people were killed and 15 maimed.
An 18-member family has been targeted and massacred.
The casualties are growing by the hour, with Israeli strikes on civilian homes, clearly-marked press vehicles, and even ambulances.
There is nowhere for people in Gaza to hide. The cruel blockade imposed on Gaza denies them medical supplies necessary to save lives.
The Israeli government is showing no signs of stopping, and is possibly mounting a ground invasion of the city. Attacks from the air are escalating.
The Israeli and U.S. media are depicting the war on Gaza as “self-defense,” even though zero Israelis have been killed and they have been waging an all-out assault with vastly superior weaponry.
With repeated attacks on helpless civilian targets, with the number of dead Palestinian women, children and elderly growing rapidly, this aggression can only be called one thing: a massacre.
Join us to protest this on-going massacre and to raise awareness about the atrocities being committed to the people of Palestine...
