Coalition for a Free Palestine
national week of action in support of Gaza
Join a protest near you!
12 November 2012
The Coalition for a Free Palestine
(CfP)
is calling for a national week of
action (
19
-
25
November) in South Africa in protest of Israel’s attacks on the Gaza Strip. The e
scalation
in violence since last week has killed 110 people in Gaza including 16 children and
injured over 600 civilians. In addition, Israel has admitted to targeting journalists in Gaza
and have called up 75 000 troops in preparation for a land invasion.
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; and,

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. This is in line with ANC policy agreed upon at the 3
rd
ANC international solidarity conference in October 2012.
The CfP and its affiliates have organized pickets and protests across the country during
this week of action where we will be standing in solidarity with the people of Gaza and
repeating our calls to the government to take action.
