((( 1 ))) MAWO ORGANIZING MEETING

TUESDAY September 2
7pm
Britannia Community Center
1661 Napier St. at Commercial Dr.
Vancouver, BC

Join
 MAWO to discuss the past month of our events and actions and to 
organize for our upcoming actions against war and occupation. The 
meeting will start with 45 minutes of video clips covering news from 
around the world, focusing on imperialist threats and interventions as 
well as the resistance of oppressed people against war and occupation.

((( 2 ))) MAWO PUBLIC FORUM

>> Latin America Stands with Gaza

Tuesday, September 9
7PM
Joe's Cafe (In large North Hall)
1150 Commercial Dr. At William St
Vancouver, BC

While
 around the world people have come out to the streets to protest 
Israel’s recent attacks on Gaza, in Latin America the governments of 
many countries have taken a stand in solidarity with Palestine. In 1973 
Cuba cut ties with Israel and has never reestablished relations. 
Venezuela also cut ties with Israel during Israel’s siege on Gaza in 
2009. Both countries have issued strong condemnations of Israel’s recent
 attacks on Gaza. Bolivia has recently limited relations with Israel, 
and has called Israel a terrorist state. Since the recent attacks on 
Gaza, Brazil, Chile, Ecuador, El Salvador and Peru have all recalled 
their ambassadors from Tel Aviv. Argentina, Mexico, Nicaragua and 
Uruguay have also joined in condemning the Zionist Israeli attacks on 
Gaza.

Join this forum to discuss the leading role that governments in Latin America have taken in solidarity with Palestine.

Statement from Mobilization Against War & Occupation - MAWO
July 19, 2014

For
 more than two weeks, Israel has been pounding the people of Gaza, one 
of the most densely populated territories in the world, from the air, 
ground and sea. Thousands of air strikes and intense shelling have hit 
Palestinian homes, mosques, physical rehabilitation centres, roads and 
entire communities, killing more than 400 Palestinians, and injuring 
more than 2,000 people, most of them civilians.
