Call for a Solidarity Vigil for Gaza
***CALL FOR A SOLIDARITY VIGIL FOR GAZA***
Monday March 3, 2008
11:45 a.m.
Location: Harvard Square, in front of Au Bon Pain
On Saturday March 1, 2008, in the bloodiest single day since the beginning of the second Intifada in 2000, US-funded Israeli troops invaded Gaza, killing at least 61 Palestinians and wounding more than 200. Over the last four days, 96 Palestinians have been killed, a third of them children. This year alone, over 200 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli forces. Meanwhile, Israeli sanctions continue to choke off Gazans from basic needs such as food, clean water, electricity, and medicine.
We are calling on the Cambridge/Boston community to gather in a solidarity vigil demo to voice resounding opposition to the ongoing violence against innocent victims.
