Scottish National Demonstration: Nakba Ongoing
NATIONAL DEMO in GLASGOW – Saturday 23 May
Assemble at McLennan Arch, Glasgow Green from 12.30 march off at 1pm
From 1948 to the present day, the Nakba has been a continuous catastrophe for the Palestinian people. They have seen the seizure of their homes, land theft and mass displacement, infamous massacres, illegal occupation, systematic apartheid, horror pogroms, a starvation siege, and now outright genocide – an entire history of oppression, ethnic cleansing, genocidal suffering, and the trauma of exile. And yet, within and beyond these stolen lands, resistant Palestinians still hold their keys, their land titles, and the legal right of return.
Genocide expanding
From the slaughter of Gaza and purging of the West Bank, the ‘Greater Israel’ regime is using the same genocidal blueprint of mass murder, terror and displacement of populations in Lebanon, Iran and across the region, all met, again, by defiant, heroic resistance.
Genocide protesting
In the face of Starmer’s direct part in the genocide, and shameful purging of conscientious protest, we must also remain resolute in our support for the continuing Nakba generations – for all the peoples of Gaza, the West Bank, Lebanon and Iran – as we keep marching and mobilising to halt the genocide, end Trump’s wicked wars, and halt the savage abduction, torture and rape of Palestinian prisoners, now facing illegal execution in the regime’s horror jails.
