*OTTAWA: ALL OUT FOR NAKBA DAY*

Join us this *Wednesday, May 15th, 6:00pm* at Tabaret Lawn as we take to
the streets to commemorate Nakba Day.

This year marks 76 years since the Nakba.

As the genocide in Gaza continues, we are reminded that the ethnic
cleansing of Palestine continues. The Zionist entity has not hidden their
genocidal intent, making it clear they will not stop the invasion until
there are no Palestinians left in Gaza.

For 76 years, “israel” has tried to destroy Palestinian will and steal the
entirety of the land, but for 76 years Palestinians have resisted their
occupiers and refused to break.

This Wednesday, we will take our role here in Ottawa and demand Canada end
its complicity in this genocide and in the occupation of Palestine, demand
an immediate ceasefire, and an end to the siege on Gaza.
