This event is taking place on the unceded territories of the Musqueam, Squamish and Tsleil-Waututh peoples.

GAZA IS UNDER ATTACK. Over 150 Palestinians in Gaza have been killed – including children – and THOUSANDS wounded at the hands of Israeli missiles, bombs and fighter planes since Tuesday. While Palestinians are dying, Stephen Harper has once again reiterated his unconditional support of Israel, and MPs from across the Canadian political spectrum have been silent and complicit as the massacres continue.

Protests are being organized in cities around the world to respond to the ongoing assault on Palestine and the Palestinian people, including the bombing of Gaza and the killing of over 150 Palestinians by occupation forces; the murders of Palestinians (including 16-year-old Muhammad Abu Khdeir and 3-year old Mohammad Malaka, murdered brutally by Israeli settlers) and ongoing settler and military brutality; the mass arrests of over 900; and the raids, attacks, tear-gassing, invasions and closure that Palestinians are being subjected to.

Join us in Vancouver to stand in solidarity, to chant and rally together and break the silence and the deception being put forward by mainstream media!

This event is taking place on the unceded territories of the Coast Salish peoples.
Since mid-June Israeli war crimes in Palestine have escalated, allegedly in response to the disappearance and death of 3 teenage Israeli settlers. However, this latest attack is part and parcel of the illegal occupation of Palestinian land and ongoing Israeli war crimes.
According to international media sources, in just one night Monday June 30 to dawn on Tuesday July 1 at dawn, the Israeli army carried out more than 34 air strikes against different areas in the Gaza Strip, in particular densely populated refugee camps. Additionally, in a sweeping offensive, Israeli Occupation Forces have kidnapped and detained more than 600 Palestinians, including women and children.
Red Sparks Union, the Boycott Israeli Apartheid Campaign, and the Revolutionary Student Movement are calling a rally and street theatre to protest this latest round of war crimes enacted against the Palestinian people.

Support From Within: Israeli Participation in the Palestinian Struggle – from demonstrations to BDS, from Matzpen to Anarchists Against the Wall (AATW) – and the legacy of the Bund”

A talk by Kobi Snitz of Boycott from Within and AATW
Sunday, April 13, 7 pm at the Unitarian Church of Vancouver, 949 W.49th Ave.(Oak and 49th).

Kobi will speak about support by Israelis for the Palestinian popular struggle, reviewing a decade of Israeli involvement in the Palestinian popular struggle and half a decade of support for BDS (Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions) from Inside Israel (despite Israeli legislation making advocates of BDS subject to lawsuits by companies that anticipate possible future financial damage as a result).

As Kobi points out, “These efforts have historical roots which not coincidentally are largely unknown. As it isolates itself from a world increasingly critical of its destruction of Palestinian society, Israel also isolates itself from significant parts of Jewish history. ”

Donations will be accepted to help fund nonviolent activism in Beit Ummar, one of the villages where Kobi regularly participates in demonstrations.

Kobi’s talk is sponsored by: Independent Jewish Voices–Vancouver and the Social Justice Committee of the Unitarian Church of Vancouver.
