FUND RAISING EVENT ON BEHALF OF FREE GAZA
THE PEACE PEOPLE HAVE PLEASURE IN INVITING YOU TO A FUND
RAISING EVENT ON BEHALF OF FREE GAZA IRELAND TO SEND ‘IRISH
BOAT’ TO GAZA
EVENT - DATE; 730pm THURSDAY 22nd OCTOBER, 2009
VENUE; PEACE HOUSE, ‘FREDHEIM’ 224 LISBURN ROAD,
BELFAST.
The crisis in Gaza is unacceptable. For nearly four years
Israel has subjected the Gaza strip to an increasingly cruel
blockade, leading to severe increases in unemployment, poverty
and childhood malnutrition. Israel’s 22 day assault
on Gaza last December and January killed over l, 400 civilians
and destroyed thousands of homes, schools, mosques, and hospitals.
It has been almost a year since these attacks and thousands
of Gaza’s Palestinians are still living in rubble. Maintaining
the Gaza siege and denying Palestinians the rights to rebuild
their lives is unconscionable.
Free Gaza Ireland is working closely with the International
Free Gaza Movement to
Acquire an ‘Irish boat’ to sail to Gaza as part
of an international flotilla challenging
Israel’s brutal siege. Since August 2008 international
volunteers in the Free Gaza Movement have been sailing to
Gaza, succeeding 5 times to break the siege.
Free Gaza boats remain the only ones to reach Gaza since l967.
More than simple charity, the Palestinian people need solidarity
and political action. They need people to challenge the politics
that leave them in need of humanitarian aid.
COME ALONG TO HEAR MEMBERS OF THE FREE GAZA MOVEMENT
SPEAK ABOUT THEIR WORK AND PLANS;
Derek Graham, Jenny Graham, and Ramzi Kysia
FREE GAZA-IRELAND AND INTERNATIONAL FREE GAZA MOVEMENT
