- The Palestine Right to Return Coalition's Al-Awda chapters
in Los Angeles, Orange County, Riverside, San Bernardino and San Diego,
together with many other organizations and coalitions, strongly urge
and call on all our members and supporters across Southern California
to join the LET GAZA LIVE! Regional Mass March & Rally this Saturday,
January 10, 2009 12 noon at the Westwood Federal Building 11000 Wilshire
Blvd, Los Angeles. This protest is part of the Day of Emergency Mass Action
for Gaza taking place in this country and around the world. Come out and
demand an immediate end to the carnage that is being carried out by the
'Israeli' military against the people of the Gaza Strip.
-
- The entire world is watching with horror and outrage
as Israel, backed by the US administration, has unleashed a full-scale
invasion of the besieged Gaza Strip. Thousands of US-armed israeli troops,
tanks, artillery, and bulldozers have invaded Gaza while the indiscriminate
and horrific bombing of civilian targets including schools, mosques, police
stations, and hospitals via air, sea, and land has continued. These
murderous attacks in the last thirteen days have resulted in the death
of over 800 men women and children and more than 4000 have been injured,
many with permanent disabilities.
-
- The Gaza Strip is the most densely populated place on
this planet with more than 6000 people living per square kilometer, most
in desperate poverty, in an area representing 1% of the total land
of Palestine. It is home to 1.5 million Palestinians of whom 1.1 million
are refugees denied by the Zionist State of 'Israel" their right to
return to their homes and lands of origin in areas that were occupied by
the invading Zionists in 1948. We can not stay silent while Israel is committing genocide
against our people and while the US Administration provides it with
political, economic and military support. We must stand up in support
of our heroic people and their resistance against the Zionist
invaders.
-
- WE STRONGLY URGE ALL OUR MEMBERS AND SUPPORTERS TO COME
OUT AND JOIN
- THE LET GAZA LIVE DEMONSTRATION.
