THE CEASEFIRE IS STILL AN OCCUPATION! JUSTICE FOR THE CHILDREN OF GAZA!

5th Rally to Protest Israeli War Crimes in Gaza

*** NEW TIME AND LOCATION ***

-----------------------------------------------
MARCH AND VIGIL
SATURDAY JAN. 24
@ 5 pm Gather at CLARK PARK (COMMERCIAL AND 14TH)
(just south of Broadway/Commercial Skytrain Station)
Followed by candelight march and vigil
------------------------------------------------

The unilateral ceasefire just declared by Israel does not mean an end to the siege of Gaza where 1.5 million live in an open-air prison on the brink of famine, let alone an end to the illegal, immoral, and unjust occupation of Palestine. In the past three weeks, over 1000 Palestinian people have been murdered and another 5000 injured including through the use of illegal white phosphorous. We must call for the criminals responsible for these acts of genocide to be brought to justice and demand that the Canadian government and incoming US administration end their complicity in Israeli war crimes. To the thousands that have come from Vancouver to Surrey, please continue to commemorate those who have died and to stand in solidarity with the women, children, elders, and people of Palestine this week. Free Palestine!

* Co-organized by Vancouver Palestine Solidarity Coalition and Arab Women's Organization.
