Indymedia York

Assemble 1230 for 1pm on Saturday outside Leeds Art Gallery, The Headrow.

If you cannot go to London but would like to do something in Leeds Saturday, there will be a march here also - obviously not as large as previously planned because many will be in London but it is a chance to get the message across to the public.

If you are coming, please bring placards and banners to get your message across.

Since the latest Israeli airstrikes against Hamas targets in Gaza, which have killed hundreds of Hamas fighters and dozens of civilians, parts of the British Left have been attending (and calling for) solidarity demonstrations where many protestors carry the Palestinian flag, while some burn the flag of Israel.

The text below, first published on Israel Indymedia, argues against all kinds of nationalism.

On 2nd January around 30-40 protestors turned out for a noisy picket of the Newcastle branch of Marks and Spencer, calling for a boycott of M&S over their support for Israel, the boycott of all Israeli goods and an end to all British support for Israel. The picket was called by Fight Racism Fight Imperialism/Revolutionary Communist Group.
