WALES LEBANON MARCH

Adam Johannes, Secretary, Cardiff Stop the War Coalition | 26.07.2006 12:50 | Lebanon War 2006 | Anti-militarism

Wales March for Peace and Justice in the Middle East:
ISRAEL OUT OF LEBANON,
GAZA & THE WEST BANK

Saturday 29 July, Assemble 1 pm
Cathays Park (opposite City Hall/National Museum)
Cardiff

Last week, Bush and Blair prevented world leaders from calling for a ceasefire in the Middle East, instead they have allowed Israel to inflict collective punishment on the people of Gaza & Lebanon and commit crimes against humanity.

In Lebanon, a whole country torn to shreds:

* More than 300 civilians killed
* 500,000 people have fled their homes
* All major roads, 55 bridges and 7 airports destroyed, no supplies reaching many areas
* Hospitals, apartment buildings, churches, mosques, factories, petrol stations bombed,
* Lebanon's largest dairy farm, pharmaceutical factories, food supply depots destoryed
* Desperate need for water, medicines and sanitation for those fleeing Israel's bombardment.

Israel says that all this is justified because 2 Israeli soldiers have been taken prisoner, willfully forgeting that over 9,000 Palestinians & Lebanese are held captive in Israeli prisons, many without any criminal charges being made.

Emergency demonstration called by Stop the War Coalition groups in South Wales. Supported by Palestine Solidarity Cymru, Palestinian Society of Wales and many other organisations and individuals. To add your name or organisation to the list of supporters e-mail  cardiff_troopsout@hotmail.com

Please publicise this demo to as many people as possible - as soon as possible!

Ratchet it up a degree

I'm guessing you'll be one of the speakers. Please ask for people who attend not just to march but to take part in non-violent direct actions in the following weeks, ask for contact details for those who volunteer and get them to self-organise. I was sorely disappointed when my local STWC thought marching was an end in itself. Please don't call for other people to take action from the podium unless you are actually planning actions yourself, that seems hypocritical. One day it might be us under bombardment needing someone else to peaceably protest on our behalf.

Focus On Political Class - And Media

Remember to focus any planned Direct Action upon the Political Class, and not the people of Wales, and most importantly, beware of Agents Provocateurs - that smelly old hippy shouting for people to burn down that restaurant probably works for the criminal Bliar Regime.

Remember, you have no legal obligation to obey Bliar's laws!!!

Beware of Agents Provocateur

"Remember, you have no legal obligation to obey Bliar's laws!!! "

I think you'll find you do have a legal obligation to obey laws, although you may feel you don't have a moral obligation.
And unfortunately that smelly old hippy only works for the government in your fantasies.
You fool.

they're all after me
