Stand together Sunday in Belfast at Post Office Square, 12-12:30 pm .
Come stand to demand our government work for an Immediate Cease Fire--Stop the Bombing--End the siege on Gaza! The U.S. must Stop Military Aid to war zones--Humanitarian aid, not military aid! No genocide in our name!
While we condemn the terrible violence of Hamas militants, we must also denounce the occupation and the colonization of Palestine which led up to this violence. The response of a right wing Israeli government is to indiscriminately bomb Gaza, which has been an open-air prison already for decades.
Bombing innocent people is never justified. This collective punishment will only bring more war, more violence, indescribable suffering. The government of the US is complicit in this violence by sending military aid and supporting Israel's merciless response.
Not in Our Name.
War is not the answer.
An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind.
