A COALITION of Palestinian organisations and trade unions has called for maximum turnout at protests against Israel’s brutal war on Gaza.

They spoke out as the war escalated today, with troops killing six Palestinians in the West Bank and firing at protesters on the Lebanese border while Israel began a combined tank bombardment and aerial blitz of Gaza City.

Signatories included Save Sheikh Jarrar – the Sheikh Jarrar Families, the General Union of Palestine Workers, the General Union of Palestinian Women, the Palestinian Journalists Syndicate and many more. They urged support for the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement.
