STOP ISRAEL'S WAR ON GAZA!
NO WAR & SANCTIONS ON SYRIA & IRAN!

SATURDAY November 7

Vancouver Public Library
Robson & Homer St.
Downtown Vancouver, Canada

On Wednesday November 14, Israel launched their latest
campaign of airstrikes on Gaza, with the assassination of Hamas leader Ahmed
Jabari. Since then, the Israeli Air Force has attacked over 800  targets within
Gaza, resulting in the deaths of 39  innocent Palestinians, many of whom are
children. The assault on Gaza is escalating as the Zionist Israeli regime is
now threatening a ground invasion, and has authorized the call-up of 75,000
reserve troops. 

This latest brutal attack is part of an ongoing blockade and
siege of the Gaza Strip. This constant hardship has included the 2008-2009
Israeli siege, which saw the indiscriminate massacre of 1400  Palestinians.
Despite this, the heroic Palestinian people have continued their resistance to
the Israeli occupation of their land, and continue today to fight and assert
their right to the self-determination of Palestine, which has been occupied
since 1948.

The attack on Gaza is occurring as imperialist countries
ratchet up sanctions and pro-war rhetoric against Syria and Iran. Syria has
been the target of a foreign imposed civil war, as the so-called “Syrian
opposition” receives increasingly public military and financial support from
imperialist countries and their allies.

Since September 11, 2001  imperialist countries such as the
United States, Britain, France, and Canada have been waging a new era of war
and occupation.  Their bloody campaigns have spread across the Middle East
and North Africa, but have been met at every turn with the ongoing resistance
of poor, working, and oppressed people 

On Saturday, November 17th join Mobilization Against War and Occupation and
unite with protests around the world against the brutal siege of Gaza, and as
we demand an end to imperialist war and occupation across the globe.

STOP ISRAEL'S WAR ON GAZA!
NO WAR & SANCTIONS ON SYRIA & IRAN!
