Southport Friends of Palestine Demo in Southport October 19th

Thank you to those who joined Southport Friends of Palestine on Saturday.

We will see you at the next one on November 2nd for our Demo and Walk the Wall.

Details below;

Every year the Amos Trust invites thousands of runners worldwide to join with 10,000 Palestinian runners who run the Palestine marathon in Bethlehem.

2nd November marks the 107th anniversary of the Balfour Declaration, when the UK government decided to support the formation of a Jewish state in the historic land of Palestine, regardless of the wishes of the Palestinians who lived there. Palestinians see this as the start of over a century of dispossession.

We will...

Walk to The Wall - As an act of solidarity

Walk to The Wall - As a call for an end to Palestinian dispossession

Walk to The Wall - To demand an end to Israel’s war on Gaza

Walk to The Wall - To urge the UK Government to recognise the Palestinian state

Our usual demonstration will take place (Corner of Eastbank St and Lord St, near the florist) beginning at 12pm on Saturday 2nd November. At 12.15pm those walking to the wall will leave the demonstration, returning about 12.45pm for the concluding words. Those not wishing to walk to the wall will stay in place.

If walking please wear Palestinian colours – red, black, green, white, keffiyahs etc. We will walk in silence and will take a few minutes at the sea wall to reflect on the ongoing tragedy in Palestine.
