For 15 days Zionist Israeli forces have been bombarding Palestinians in Gaza with indiscriminate air strikes, and for the last five days the attacks have intensified with a ground invasion of Israeli tanks, weapons and troops. This massacre of Palestinian people has reached 573 people and rising, with women and children as half of the victims and over 3000 injured. Hospitals, homes, mosques, schools and the electrical system have all been targeted and have faced complete destruction. These horrific, brutal, criminal and vicious attacks against the Palestinian people are a repeat of what the Palestinian people have faced time and time again in over 66 years of the Zionist Israeli occupation of Palestine.

Around the world peace-loving people are coming together in defense of Palestine. In cities and towns worldwide hundreds of thousands of people have marched and protested on the streets to demand an end to the Israeli attacks on Gaza. To bring a true end to brutality Palestinians are facing under Israeli attacks, the energy and spirit of these protests must continue to demand an end to the Zionist Israeli occupation of Palestine. Join this forum to discuss Israel’s current attacks on Gaza and the movement for Palestinian self-determination.
