The Nakba Day Demonstration in support of a free Palestine, and an end to Israeli occupation is being held in London on 21st May, starting at 1pm at Embankment. A coach will be going from Oxford leaving the Taylor Institute St Giles at 10.30am

This year more than ever it is vital to have a strong show of support for the Palestinian people and demonstration against the brutal Israeli occupation. The West has taken its eyes off recent events in Palestine, thinking that there is a cease fire. In fact repression continues, the separation wall continues to be built at an alarming rate, thousands of new houses are built in the illegal Israeli settlements in the West Bank, East Jerusalem is cut off from the rest of Palestine, and the level of poverty and despair amongst Palestinians grows. Peaceful protests against the Wall continue to be met with violence by the Israeli army. Last week another two boys of 14 and 15 years old were killed. A luckier boy at Qalandia was just wounded when he managed to hang a Palestinian flag on the Wall.
So please make every effort to go to the Demonstration on 21st May. The march will end with a rally in Trafalgar Square with speakers including Sharif Omar, the regional coordinator for Qalqilya Stop the Wall campaign, Amneh Badran from the Jerusalem Centre for Women, and Afif Safieh the Palestinian General Delegate to the UK.
A coach from Oxford leaves form outside the Taylor Institute St Giles at 10.30am sharp. To reserve tickets phone 01865 768167
