On Monday there was an immediate response to the Israeli terrorist attack on the humanitarian aid ships travelling to Gaza in international waters. Bradford activists rallied in the city centre and also travelled to protests in York and Manchester, and a number met to consider future actions.
These are:
  • A vigil at the Cenotaph (war memorial, near Alhambra) today, Tuesday June 1, at 4pm. Bring banners, placards, candles etc.
  • A demonstration on Saturday June 5, starting and ending at Infirmary Fields (Bradford end of Lumb Lane). We will assemble at 12 noon and start the march at 12.30pm. It is expected that the action will conclude at the assembly point at about 2.30pm.
    We need volunteers to hand out leaflets about this action on Friday.
    It was agreed that Mukhtar Ali should liaise with the police, Karl Dallas deal with the media, and Ebrar Khan produce a banner.
  • Since a Bradfordian, Mohammed Bhaiyat, was on the ship attacked by gun-firing Israeli commandos, his father is seeking a meeting with his MP, Gerry Sutcliffe, and the foreign secretary, William Hague, to ensure out colleague's safety.
After today's vigil there will be the regular monthly meeting of Bradford Palestine Solidarity Campaign when we will plan further actions and hopefully elect a new team to put these plans into action. Bradford PSC meetings are at Desmond Tutu House, 2 Ashgrove (opposite Bradford Uni campus) on the first Tuesday of every month, 6.30-8pm.
For more in formation about future actions, which may be organised at very short notice, contact any of the following:
  • Mukhtar Ali (0783 0246102
  • Karl Dallas (0788 077 0721)
  • Ebrar Khan (0785 508 9656)
The United Nations security council has condemned the Israeli piracy, but actions need to go beyond mere words.
END THE SIEGE NOW!
