National conference of the Italian “Gaza must live” committee to end the embargo
Turin, Saturday May 10th, 10am to 2pm
Dar al-Hikma Italian-Arab Center
Via Fiocchetto 15 (Porta Palazzo zone)
With the intervention of Palestinian Prime Minister Ismail Haniya, in live broadcast from Gaza
- To listen to the voices of those who suffer everyday under the oppression
- To learn about the situation in Gaza, a true concentration camp of the 21th century
- To understand the reasons of the Palestinian resistance
- To denounce the takeover against the legitimate winners of the January 2006 elections
- To carry on the struggle against the genocidal embargo
For all of these reasons, to remember the 60th anniversary of the Nakba, to protest against the International Book Fair dedicated to Israel we will meet in Turin on Saturday May 10th.
We adhere to every initiative of protest against the Book Fair, but we want the situation in Gaza to be the center of the mobilization.
The embargo, the slow genocide that is going on, is indeed the biggest charge against both the Zionist state and those people in Italy who reiterate everyday their thorough support to the Israeli criminals.
Deciding to dedicate the International Book Fair to Israel was a clear political and ideological operation. Let’s turn it over against them, starting by the
denunciation of the crimes this state is carrying out.
Let’s start answering from Turin - which is twinned with Gaza - to politics which are deaf towards the oppressed and servile with the oppressors.
