Southport Friends of Palestine Organises Demonstration Marking Balfour Declaration's 107th Anniversary

SOUTHPORT FRIENDS OF PALESTINE

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.

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
