Join LA Jews for Peace in a

Demonstration to Protest the Israeli Siege of Gaza

Tuesday, December 23rd

3:30 PM - 6:00 PM

Westwood Federal Building 

Located at Wilshire & Veteran

Parking should be available at the park with tennis courts just south of the Federal Building.

LA Jews will have signs and banners; bring your own; but no flags please

since our message is internationalism and humanism, not nationalism.

As you know, the situation is Gaza was intolerable, but has gotten worse as the blockade

has deepened the shortage of food, medicine, fuel, electric power, and commercial goods. 

The UN Secretary General, the Swiss government, and other groups have called the situation a

 humanitarian crisis and a violation of the 4th Geneva Convention.  It is surely a violation of Jewish law.

LA Jews for Peace urges everyone to speak out against the blockade, and call for a

resumption of shipments of food and medical supplies to the people of Gaza,

and admittance of journalists to Gaza to report on the desperate conditions.

The blockade is not only cruel and inhumane, but also counter-productive in that it fuels

violence against Israel and works to undermine efforts to achieve peace through negotiations.

Promote this demonstration widely.  See you there.
