Picket/Demo at Liverpool V Maccabi Haifa - 9th August
Merseyside TUC | 05.08.2006 22:17 | Lebanon War 2006 | Anti-militarism | Liverpool
Merseyside TUC, Liverpool TUC, Wirral TUC and Sefton TUC and the
Merseyside Coalition Against the War are supporting the Friends of
Palestine Picket / demonstration at the Liverpool versus Maccabi
Haifa football match on Wednesday 9th August at Anfield and call on
trade unionists to show Israelis that we are totally opposed to
their murderous activities in Lebanon. The football game will be
shown live on Israeli television and the key may well be to bring
banners / placards to show Israeli people exactly what the views of
trade unionists and anti war campaigners are.

I understand leaflets are to be given out to supporters (both inside
and outside of the ground) condemning the attacks on Lebanon and the
role of the UK and American Governments. Merseyside TUC and
Liverpool TUC in particular stress the importance of NO
ENCROACHMENT ON THE PITCH. This would be a negative move, and given
the events at Hillsborough, would antagonise the Liverpool
supporters and turn them against us.
