PROTEST NETANYAHU'S VISIT TO TORONTO ON MAY 30

War Criminals Not Welcome Here!

Mark 62 Years of Nakba – Stand with Palestine!

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is kicking off UJA’s annual Walk with Israel on Sunday, May 30th. He will be delivering a live address at the CNE Direct Energy Center. A coalition of community and human rights organizations is calling on all to protest the representative of Apartheid Israel coming to whitewash Israeli human rights violations against the Palestinian people.

Exact location for the protest will be announced shortly (we will be meeting at 9:00 am).

For now – please support us in spreading the word and posting this callout as far and wide as possible.

As we mark 62 years of Nakba, the ethnic cleansing of Palestine in 1948 when more than 750,000 indigenous Palestinians were expelled and 500 villages destroyed, we will be protesting the ongoing Nakba that war criminal Netanyahu is overseeing. We will protest the ongoing colonization of Palestine, the
military occupation, the settlement expansion, the apartheid wall and the brutal siege of Gaza.

Unfortunately, representatives of a state that carries out blatant apartheid policies are being welcomed in Canada and supported by the Harper government.

We will be protesting to also send a clear message to Harper that his government's uncritical support for Israel must stop.

Spread the word – save the date – and come out to protest the Prime Minister of Apartheid Israel.

Organized by:

Palestine House Community Center
Coalition Against Israeli Apartheid (CAIA)
Independent Jewish Voices
Not in our Name (Jews Opposing Zionism)
Women in Solidarity with Palestine
Toronto Coalition to Stop the War
Canadian Peace Alliance
