The Monthly Palestine Street Awareness Campaign and march for Boycotting Israeli products is happening this coming Saturday 30th March, Daunt Square, Cork City at 1pm. The action takes place on Palestinian Land.

We need as many hands as possible to distribute our leaflets and to inform the public on the reasons why we are boycotting Israeli products. If you want to participate in the BDS Campaign join us this coming Saturday at 1pm.

If you find any Israeli products in any stores, please make a formal complaint to the shop on why they should not stock Israeli products.

On 30th March 1976 Israeli military forces shot and killed six young Palestinian citizens of Israel. These young men were among thousands protesting the Israeli government’s expropriation of Palestinian land.

Thirty-seven years after the first Land Day demonstrations, Israel continues its expropriation and colonization of Palestinian land. Israel continues to expand its illegal settlements in occupied Palestinian territory, forcing Palestinians from their land. Palestinians also face dispossession and displacement inside Israel.

Join us this Saturday to commemorate Land Day and celebrate Palestinian resistance to Israel’s ongoing land expropriation, colonization, occupation and apartheid.
