Join the protest against Israel's attack on the aid flotilla - 3pm Saturday 5th June on the Centre (opposite Hippodrome)
There has been an unprecedented explosion of anger against Israel's deadly attack on the Gaza aid flotilla, reflected in protests across the country and throughout the world.

People who went in peace to take aid to Gaza have been subjected to violent attack. Nine were killed. Hundreds have been locked up in Israeli prisons. Their possessions have been confiscated.

Two of the activists on the flotilla, Cliff Hanley & Sakir Yildirim, are from Bristol. They are now travelling home after their ordeal.

Israel and the US have never been so isolated over the issue of Gaza. NATO had a crisis meeting today, one of its members being Turkey, from where most of those killed on the flotilla came.

Nick Clegg said today that he wants the Gaza siege lifted, adding that David Cameron agrees with him!

But words are easy. We need urgent action and that means exerting maximum public pressure on political leaders who have indulged Israeli crimes against humanity for so long.

On Saturday 5th June there will be a protest in Bristol calling for a full independent inquiry into the attack and a permanent end to the blockade of Gaza. Please join us – assemble on The Centre (opposite the Hippodrome) at 3pm. We hope Cliff and Sakir will be able to speak there. Bring placards, friends & family.
