RALLY AND MARCH TOSTOP ISRAEL'S MASSACRE IN GAZATHE WORLD SAYS END THE SIEGE ON GAZA NOW!GATHER AT PARLIAMENT HILL, OTTAWA1PM, SATURDAY, JAN 3, 2009Israel has launched an unprecedented wave of attacks on the civilian population in Gaza. Hundreds have already been killed, and Israel is planning further attacks, refusing international calls for a ceasefire. Thousands are expected to attend rallies already being planned for several Canadian cities this weekend, including Ottawa, Montreal, Toronto, and Vancouver, as well as many other countries around the world. The protestswill call on Canadian Members of Parliament to denounce the massacre of Palestinian civilians being waged by Israel and press for an immediate ceasefire.Despite claims to the contrary, it is Israel that broke the truce with its relentless siege against Gaza, which has created a humanitarian crisis there by depriving 1.5 million civilians of food, water, medical supplies, andenergy to heat their homes. Israel's aerial bombardment has already claimed 400 lives in just a few days, and further air assaults are threatened to be accompanied by a ground offensive into Gaza. We can save the lives of countless Palestinian women, children, and men if we raise our voices now.ORGANIZED BY: The Association of Palestinian Arab Canadians (APAC), Independent Jewish Voices (IJV - Canada), & the Ottawa Palestine Solidarity Network. www.apacottawa.com & www.independentjewishvoices.caSPONSORED BY: Students Against Israeli Apartheid (SAIA-Carleton), Solidarity for Palestinian Human Rights (SPHR Ottawa), Not In Our Name: Jewish Voices Opposing Zionism (NION), NOWAR-PAIX, Rassemblement outaouais contre la guerre.Contact nion.ottawa at gmail.com if your organization wants to endorse the protest or if you are able to volunteer.
