DEMONSTRATION! BREAK THE SIEGE OF GAZA NOW! END THE OCCUPATION OF ALL OF PALESTINE! IMPLEMENT PALESTINIAN RIGHT TO RETURN!
WHEN: THURSDAY, DECEMBER 11 @ 4 PM
WHERE: \"ISRAELI\" CONSULATE, 6380 WILSHIRE BLVD, LA, CA 90035
Given that the humanitarian situation in the Gaza Strip is dire and deteriorating fast with the tightening of the Israeli-imposed siege since November 5, The Arab and Palestinian communities of Southern California call on their members and all supporting organizations and individuals to once again demonstrate on Thursday December 11 at 4 PM in front of the \"Israeli Consulate\" to demand an end to the siege of the Gaza Strip. Most of the Gaza Strip remains without power due to lack of fuel, and the United Nations has been forced to stop food distribution to those in need. Food and medical supplies are running out.
We also call on all people of conscience to join the protest to demand the implementation of the Palestinian Right to Return. The protest will mark the 60th anniversary that the United Nations adopted the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (on December 10, 1948) and Resolution 194 (on December 11, 1948). Resolution 194 calls for the implementation of the natural and inalienable Right of Palestinians to Return to their homes and lands.
Although \"Israel\" was accepted to the United Nations on condition that it implemented all UN resolutions including 194, to date, however, the Zionist entity has denied Palestinians their right to return. Over 80% of the Palestinians in Gaza are refugees who were displaced from their original and rightful lands and homes during the imposition of the illegal and immoral Zionist state. With \"Israel\'s\" unrelenting 60 year occupation of Palestine, and renewed siege of Gaza resulting in today\'s humanitarian crisis the ongoing Zionist agenda to end Palestine through mass displacement, military, political and economic means amounts to nothing less than Genocide.
Join us for the demonstration this Thursday December 11 @ 4 PM in front of the \"Israeli\" consulate, 6380 Wilshire Blvd in Los Angeles.
We demand that the \"Israeli\" and Egyptian governments immediately END THE SIEGE OF THE GAZA STRIP and grant immediate access to all food, humanitarian and medical relief supplies without restriction.
We also demand Implementation of The Palestinian Right to Return on this the 60th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and UN resolution 194.
