>> Destruction of Ukraine: Do You Remember Yugoslavia?
US/EU/NATO Hands Off Ukraine!

TUESDAY July 15, 2014
7pm
Joe's Café (in the Large North Hall)
1150 Commercial Dr. at Williams St.
Vancouver, Canada

Just over 15 years ago, NATO launched their last assault on Yugoslavia, which in the 11-week bombing campaign  killed over 2000 civilians. Even today after many efforts to rebuild the infrastructure that was destroyed by NATO air strikes, still much has remained in rubble. Fast-forward to today, NATO is now taking a leading role in the destruction of another country, Ukraine. NATO, EU and specifically the US were behind the February 2014 coup in Ukraine and have continued their political and financial support for the post-coup illegitimate government. Now the same government has caused a full scale civil war and also is carrying out brutal and indiscriminate attacks against innocent people in the east and south of Ukraine. Just today, NATO pledged new funding for Ukraine’s military, and set benchmarks for NATO nations to increase their military spending.

Join this forum to discuss the history of foreign intervention in the Balkans and surrounding countries, as well as the recent escalation of NATO military buildup around Russia.

>> PROTEST AGAINST ISRAELI ATTACKS ON GAZA

GAZA IS UNDER ATTACK. Over 150 Palestinians in Gaza have been killed - including children - and THOUSANDS wounded at the hands of Israel since Tuesday. While Palestinians are dying, Stephen Harper has once again reiterated his unconditional support of Israel, and MPs from across the Canadian political spectrum have been silent and complicit as the massacres continue. 

The last protest had over 500+ people attending. Due to the great success, and for those who were unable to make it, SPHR-UBC is hosting a second protest:

Saturday, July 19
2:00 PM
Vancouver Art Gallery
750 Hornby St.
Vancouver, Unceded Coast Salish Territories
(Precisely: Hornby and Robson St. Corner)

We are aiming for big, we are striving for MEDIA COVERAGE. Spread the word, and share the event! You can find the Facebook event here: https://www.facebook.com/events/649461088464555/?ref_newsfeed_story_type=regular  

Join us in Vancouver to stand in solidarity, to chant and rally together and break the silence and the deception being put forward by mainstream media!
This event is taking place on the unceded territories of the Musqueam, Squamish and Tsleil-Waututh peoples.
