Justice for Palestine
NW demo 15th June information:

If your organisation, trade union branch, students union, Labour party ward, etc. wishes to add it's name to the list of sponsors of the demonstration, send an email to: [email protected]
The list of sponsors will be updated and publicised every week.

The ad-hoc committee 4 Palestine encourages organisations to produce their own leaflets and publicity advertising the march. Ensuring that all publicity is within the spirit of the march; internationalist and anti racist. If you would like some leaflets to
distribute, contact CND on 0161 273 8283

An agreed text for any leaflets/posters is reproduced below Palestinian people have suffered years of injustice, devastation and killing under the illegal Israeli occupation, while the world looked the other way.
With the recent brutal attacks, Ariel Sharon has been developing his career as one of the world's major war criminals, illegally arresting, killing ordinary civilians, bombing ambulances and hospitals, and preventing medical workers and press access to battle zones. But the escalating Israeli violence will only increase the desperation of the Palestinians and lead to more suicide attacks.
Supporting Israel are Bush and Blair, who continue business as usual with Israel, despite overwhelming evidence of war crimes. No arms blockade, no trade sanctions, no halt to aid, no outcry and no justice. It is clear that Bush and Blair are prepared to accept any level of criminal activity from a government providing it is one of their allies and business partners.
Countries which do not bow to their domination are under threat. Cuba, Iran, N.Korea, Somalia, Libya are all threatened with the phoney 'War on Terrorism' which is another way of saying 'US world domination quest'. And Iraq is next on the hit list, for the crime of potentially possessing weapons of mass destruction.
Israel, the UK and the US all have more weapons of mass destruction than Iraq could even imagine.
It's time we woke up, stood with the Palestinians, the Iraqi people, and others threatened by the Bush/ Blair/ Sharon 'axis of evil', put a stop to their hypocrisy, and built a fairer world where might does't equal right.
