Thank you for everyone who came out to the series of actions and events organized by NION (Not In Our Name) and the Ottawa Palestine Solidarity Network this May to commemorate the Nakba (catastrophe) that through a massive propaganda campaign is being "celebrated" as Israel @ 60. The reality of Israel at 60 is a history and ongoing process of ethnic cleansing of the indigenous Palestinians in the region.
On May 8, over 100 people gathered in protest of an Israel @ 60 event at the Ottawa civic centre. See the photos here.
The May 18 Teach-in on Israel at 60 brought 80 people together to learn more about 60 years of dispossession and repression of Palestinians from Jewish and Palestinian speakers.
On May 20, approximately 70 people held a vigil outside of the Israel@60 Celebrations at the N.A.C. (National Arts Centre). Palestinians and Jews united to say that THIS IS NO TIME TO CELEBRATE. For the A Channel coverage of this action click here.
Let's keep building on this momentum!
In solidarity,
NION
