Pro-Gaza protest, march set for Saturday in St. Petersburg

January 3, 2009

By Wayne Garcia

This in from Rise Up Tampa Bay:
St. Petersburg — Peace groups and concerned citizens will be gathering outside of the Baywalk facility in support of the victims in Gaza during the most recent military actions.

“Regardless of where one stands on the conflict, we can all agree that war is not the answer, and the horiffically one-sided casualty counts are a travesty”, said Mike Fox, Rise Up Tampa Bay member and Chair of the Pinellas County Chapter of Progressive Democrats Of America.  “We ask that all who see the Palestinian people as the “Davids” in this “David vs Goliath” struggle join us as we ask that the US government and our fellow citizens support a free Palestine and an end to the slaughter.”
Saturday, Jan. 3,7:30pm

On sidewalks outside of Baywalk
2nd Avenue and 2nd Street, N
Downtown St. Petersburg

• STOP THE GENOCIDE
• STOP THE HUMAN RIGHTS ABUSE! – OR WE’LL HAVE TO THROW OUR SHOES!

• YES, WE CAN! STOP US MILITARY AID TO ISRAEL!
• YES, WE CAN! BOYCOTT ISRAEL!
• NOT IN OUR NAMES, NOT WITH OUR MONEY!
• ISRAELI DEFENSE FORCES = WAR CRIMINALS
• ISRAELI ATTACK ON GAZA = GENOCIDE
• YES, WE CAN! STOP THE ETHNIC CLEANSING OF PALESTINE!
• ZIONISM = RACISM
• ISRAEL = APARTHEID SOUTH AFRICA
• WAR IS TERRORISM WITH BIGGER BUDGET – STOP ISRAEL’S WAR ON PALESTINIANS
• SAY NO TO RACISM – SAY NO TO CARNAGE
• ACT AGAINST ISRAEL’S WAR CRIMES

Call for the March:

We must act now, before the massacres continue! Over 360 people were killed in Gaza since Saturday, December 27 in a series of Israeli attacks – with US-made and paid for weaponry – upon the Palestinian people. These cold-blooded killings come on top of a siege on Gaza that has killed hundreds by depriving them of medical care, electricity, power and fuel and attempted to strangle the life of the Palestinian people in Gaza.

The people of Gaza are standing steadfast in the face of these massacres but our voices must be heard to demand an immediate end to the massacres and an end to US aid to Israel! The Israeli military is promising more massacres – we must say no NOW!
