National demonstration for Gaza: Saturday 9 August Assemble 12 noon, Central London At the time of writing, over 1.670 Palestinians have been killed, and nearly 9000 injured. 78 Palestinians have been killed so far today in Gaza (Saturday). Whole neighbourhoods have been flattened, and almost half of the Strip was already a no go zone, before the horrific shelling of Rafah yesterday. The horror is overwhelming, with Palestinians struggling to dig out the bodies of the dead, hospitals struggling to cope with the bloodshed and death, and shelters struggling to cope with the hundreds of thousands attempting to seek refuge. Ambulances, hospitals and UN schools sheltering refugees have all been targeted by Israeli bombs. The British government has blood on its hands, with the Independent reporting on the £42m worth of arms export licences being granted since 2010 to sell military equipment to Israel, including ammunition, and components for the Hermes drone, which has been widely used to monitor Palestinians and guided missile strikes. It has also licenced a UK company to supply components for Israels main battle tank. International outrage has escalated, with thousands blocking the streets outside the Israeli Embassy in London yesterday, and protests taking place across Britain against the slaughter. We need to increase the pressure even further - and ensure that our voices cannot be silenced. Please ensure that nobody can say that they didnt know about the demonstration next Saturday - forward this email on to family and friends, and bring them along. Tell Cameron - NOT IN MY NAME!
