Candle Vigil for Gaza

Thursday 8th January at 7pm - Bargate, Southampton

We would like to invite all those who are concerned about the Israeli state attacks on Gaza in what the United Nations describes as 'the imminent humanitarian catastrophe' to a Candle Lit Vigil at Bargate on Thursday 8th January at 7pm. We plan to observe a 30-minutes silent tribute to the dead, injured and bereaved people of Gaza after bell ringing.

Please bring candles, poems, reflections / cakes and hot drinks to share with any passersby and ourselves.

As well as anything else you think might be appropriate in keeping with a respectful and peaceful vigil.

This event will take place whatever developments occur in the situation in Gaza.

when Israel bombards Gaza, you call us to shut up and pray all together. Go to a church if you want to pray.
If you want to make a difference, organize a demo outside the pubs and clubs and wake them up with your voice...

candle lit vigil

this event is for silent thoughtful silence - bring candles, warm clothes and no aggression please!!

This vigil was requested by Palestinian friends / contacts in Bethlehem to be held on this Thursday -
we want to send hope to Palestinians not news of rioting.

This ought to be a safe event for little children.

See you there - bring hot drinks for sharing if you can - if not others will.

Organisers are prepared to be arrested for this event - if need be, its still happening - no approval is required.
