More than 1.5 million people live in the 'open air prison camp' that is Gaza. For the last sixteen months the blockade of the Israeli regime has intensified the nightmare - a majority of the population are unemployed and suffering from malnutrition. Now the 'prison guards' are bombing and invading the prison - resulting in the deaths of many hundreds of Palestinians, including children.

Over 600 Palestinians have been killed, thousands more injured and over a million without water or electricity.

As a UN human rights monitor put it: "Israel is committing a shocking series of atrocities by using modern weaponry against a defenceless population - attacking a population that has been enduring a severe blockade for many months."

The miltary onslaught must be stopped now! End the blockade and occupation and escalate the anti-war demonstrations and initiate workers’ actions.

Tonight in Oxford over 400 people turned out in solidarity with the people of Gaza.

Come along on Thursday 15th 2009 at 7.30pm to a Public Meeting at Oxford Town Hall to hear more, engage in discussion and plan future protests in Oxford.
