Rafah Protest in Oxford

On Saturday 22 May a protest was held in Cornmarket Street, Oxford, against the actions of the Israeli Defence Force in Rafah. Over the past week alone Rafah, a town in the Gaza strip, has seen incursions by Israeli forces that have led to dozens of civilian deaths and the bulldozing of hundreds of homes, leaving more than a thousand people homeless. The protest in Oxford was initially called by the Palestine Solidarity Campaign, but, shocked by the scale of the humanitarian crisis the Oxford women’s group NOW (Network of Oxford Women for Justice and Peace) decided to come out on the street in support,to discuss the issue with passers-by and collect signatures for a letter to Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon. You can see their beautiful hand-painted banner alongside the PSC one outside St Michael's Church.

What about a protest for the Jewish mother and her young children murdered in cold blood three weeks ago near Rafah by the 'brave' men of Hamas?

Why dont you have a memorial for the Jewish lady and her child?
Im sure nobody would object to it or criticise you for doing it.

The only thing is you have to actually do something apart from
just getting all hot and bothered under the collar.

Why dont you join the campaign to stop pointless violence!
