PALESTINE CALLS FOR DAY OF ACTION MAY
18: Massive solidarity protests
for Palestine continue worldwide
Join or organize a protest in your
area in the coming days
Raleigh, North Carolina, USA, on
Nakba Day. Organized by the the ANSWER Coalition and Muslims for
Social Justice, attended by thousands.
The Palestinian people have called
for Tuesday, May 18, to be a day of action. Protests are being
organized in front of Israeli consulates and embassies, and elsewhere.
As the Israeli state and Zionist mobs continues to terrorize the
Palestinian people and bomb Gaza, solidarity protests demanding
justice for Palestine continue to be organized in cities across the
U.S. and the world.
This past week has made one thing
clear: the world stands with Palestine. Hundreds of thousands of
people around the world demand an indictment of the Israeli state for
its murderous crimes against Palestinians and demand an end to Israeli
apartheid. Over 80 cities in the United States protested in solidarity
with Palestine this past week, demanding an immediate end to all U.S.
funding to Israel. From Kenya to Iraq to Japan to U.K., “free
Palestine” resounded in the streets.
Protests continue. For May 18, DAY OF ACTION, actions have
already been called in California, Florida, Indiana, Massachusetts,
Pennsylvania, and more.
