Peace in the middle East! Education shall be compulsory, universal, free and equal for all children! - The Freedom Charter: 1955 - -----Original Message----- From: Khaya Xaba <[email protected]> Sender: [email protected] Date: Mon, 19 Nov 2012 09:58:52 To: yclsa-eom-forum<[email protected]> Reply-To: [email protected] Subject: [YCLSA Discussion] YCL supports calls for a national week of action in solidarity with Gaza ** *YCLSA Press Alert* November 19, 2012 *YCL calls for a national week of action in solidarity with Gaza* The Young Communist League of South Africa [uFasimba] joins the calls of BDS South Africa and the Coalition for a Free Palestine for a national week of action (November 19 to November 25) in solidarity with the citizens of Gaza. Gaza has been under heavy attack from Israeli forces for nearly a week. During this period 84 people have been killed including 16 children. Nearly 600 civilians have been injured while Israel attacks Gaza with firepower from the sea and air. In solidarity with the people of Gaza, the YCLSA will be supporting the 24 hour night vigil outside South Africa's Department of International Relations and Cooperation (DIRCO) *STARTS: 06h00 Wednesday, 21 November* *ENDS: 06h00 Thursday, 22 November WHERE: SA Department of International Relations and Cooperation(460 Soutpansberg Road, Pretoria/Tshwane)* In line with proposed ANC policy and in protest of Israel's attack on the Gaza Strip, we are calling on the South African government to: · Immediately recall the South African ambassador from Tel Aviv · Expel the Israeli ambassador from Pretoria · Impose broad-based boycott, divestment and sanctions (BDS) on Israel until it ends its violence against the Palestinian people, abides to international law and respects human rights. We have seen that Israel is not interested in peace, despite its claims. Israel assassinated Hamas leader Ahmed al-Jabari who was minutes away from signing a long term ceasefire. Israel has also targeted journalists and broadcast stations in Gaza, which has drawn condemnation from Reporters without borders. We call on all progressive forces to support the week of action for Gaza and the night vigil. We join 88 other cities around the world standing in international solidarity with Gaza and all oppressed people of the world.
