Derry public meeting on Palestine with Jewish Voice for Peace speaker

Change of location: This meeting was originally scheduled to be held in St Columb's Hall but has been moved to Sandinos.

A public meeting in Derry with Sherry Wolf from New York Jewish Voice for Peace, IPSC Donegal Secretary Fadl Mustapha and chaired by Cllr Shaun Harkin will be held this week.

The meeting on Apartheid Israel, Joe Biden and Palestinian Freedom will be held 7pm Wednesday December 6 upstairs in Sandinos.

Meeting organiser Anita Villa said:

"Israel has launched the second phase of its genocidal war on Gaza, following a week long pause.

"We can't stop talking about Palestine and need to escalate our solidarity actions across Ireland and the world to end this horror.

"Despite global demands for a permanent ceasefire the US and British governments continue to arm Israel and finance the ethnic cleansing of Gaza.

"Cynically, the Irish government has continued to back Israel and US President Joe Biden despite mass opposition across Ireland.

"Joe Biden was paraded across Ireland as a peace builder but is the main sponsor of Israel's slaughter, while a large majority of Americans demand a permanent ceasefire.

"Mass demonstrations in every US city have challenged Biden's endorsement of unprecedented Israeli terror. These included the largest ever protests by American Jews in support of Palestine."

Fadl Mustapha, Secretary of the Donegal Ireland Palestine Solidarity Campaign, will discuss the the 'genocidal war on Gaza' and how people can act in solidarity with Palestine and assist the dismantling of apartheid.

Sherry Wolf, from New York Jewish Voice for Peace, will explain the geo-political reasons for unconditional US government support for apartheid Israel and the grassroots challenge facing Biden."
