Palestine Protest - Ealing Town Hall
![](/images/events/2024/20240106_Palestine_protest.jpg)
Time: 1:30 pm
Stand in solidarity on the 6th of January 2024, outside Ealing Town Hall, raising your voices for our brothers and sisters in Palestine.
Hold 2 of our 3 local politicians accountable who still remain silent over the genocide.
Virendra Sharma & James Murray haven’t used their powers to put any pressure on the government for a ceasefire, along with many of our councillors who stay silent.
Our children are being silenced in some Ealing schools. Genocide is still happening, with over 21,000 dead.
Don’t remain silent; together we can make a change.
Southall has a history of resistance against injustice. Please forward to as many people as you can to build support for the protest.
STOP THE GENOCIDE
CEASEFIRE NOW
NO MORE KILLING
FREE PALESTINE
STAND UP FOR PALESTINE
At least 21,822 Gazan residents had been killed and 56,451 injured by the Israeli military - mainly women and children. Another 7,000 missing who are believed to be dead and buried under rubble. 80% of the 2.3 million people have been displaced and 45% of homes damaged or destroyed. The Israelis are withholding food, water and power.
South Africa has launched genocide case against Israel at UN's top court. Many people are calling this genocide. Most of the British public opposes the slaughter. We must protest because politicians are supporting the bombing and starvation of civilians, while British mainstream media reports are very one-sided, focusing on Israel and not on Palestinian suffering.
A senior UN aid official has warned that half of Gaza's population is starving and nine out of 10 people cannot eat every day.
Nine out of 10 families in some areas are spending "a full day and night without any food at all", according to a senior UN aid official.
The Gaza humanitarian zone is NOT humane. The "humanitarian zone", for two million displaced civilians, is smaller than London's Heathrow Airport.
Israel has killed more than 21,822 Gazans and injured 56,451 people in its retaliatory campaign, including more than 8,500 children. Another 7,000 missing who are believed to be dead and buried under rubble.
Israel only allows limited quantities of aid to reach Gaza.
UN Secretary-General, António Guterres, said "In the name of humanity, I call for an immediate humanitarian cease fire".
Why do Western democratic leaders not listen?
The EU Commission President, Ursula von der Leyen, says: "The rise in violence by extremist settlers is inflicting immense suffering on the Palestinians”. This has been going on for decades and is official Israeli policy.
For more than 15 years, Gaza has been turned into the largest open-air prison in the world.
It restricts the entry of food, medicines, fuel, construction materials, and other essentials into this open-air prison so that people are forced to live in terrible conditions.
The state of Israel does not want to solve the problem peacefully even though they pretended to do that during the talks with Palestinian leadership from 1988 till 2005.
Israel had no intention of creating a State for the Palestinians. They continue to build new settlements violating the international law, which prohibits to build settlements on the occupied areas.
War is an important tool to boost the economies in US and Britain, by gifting the most modern and sophisticated arms to the Zionists.
