🕊  Nakba Day

Nakba Day is the day we commemorate the Palestinian Catastrophe in 1948, when 750,000 people - half the population of British Mandate Palestine - were forced from their homes or made to flee, first by Zionist paramilitaries, who poisoned the communities' wells and perpetrated dozens of massacres; then, after the establishment of “Israel” in May 1948, by its military.  Four hundred towns and villages were entirely obliterated; 130 others were simply stolen, given new Hebrew names and repopulated exclusively with Zionist Jewish immigrants.  By July 1949 13,000 Palestinians had been killed and 78% of what had been the British Mandate of Palestine was occupied by “Israel”.  Today that figure stands at well over 90%.  See wikipedia.org/wiki/Nakba

Join us to mark the 77th anniversary of the Palestinian Catastrophe of mass ethnic cleansing.

Where:   Outside BAE Systems at Unicorn Gate (entrance to dockyard), PO1 3LH

When:    Thursday 15th May, 4.15pm til 6pm

📢  National march for Palestine
      transport from Portsmouth

77 years after the start of the Nakba ('the catastrophe') that began the ethnic cleansing of Palestine, join us for this national demonstration against the occupation.  We will march in our hundreds of of thousands through London once again.

It’s vital we continue to take to the streets in huge numbers to demand an end to British complicity in Israel’s genocide and apartheid, including through an end to all arms trade with Israel.

Join us in London on Saturday 17th May and show our political class and the world that we will never consent to UK complicity in genocide.
