STAND WITH PALESTINE!
END THE MASSACRES!

Have A Right To Go Home!
Friday, MAY 18
Times Square 42nd St. and 7th Ave.
On May 14, 62 more Palestinians were murdered by the U.S.- armed and -funded Israeli military. Thousands more were shot and gassed. Their “crime” was being born Palestinian in the land of Palestine. Their “crime” was wanting to go home.
On Friday, May 18, we will gather in Times Square, starting at 3 pm.We aim to voice our demand for the Right of Return for ALL Palestinians to return to the land of Palestine – from Gaza to al-Quds, from Haifa to Nablus, from the East to the West, the North to the South and the River to the Sea.
May 15 will mark 70 years of the catastrophe known as the Nakba, where hundreds of thousands of Palestinians were expelled from their homelands and forced into the condition that continues to this day.
The Nakba did not start in 1948 and did not end in 1948. With each martyr, with each home destroyed, with each settlement built, the Nakba continues. Despite this, seventy years of dispossession and genocide has not extinguished the flames of seventy years of resistance and dignity.
Adding salt to the wound of the Nakba, the Trump regime declared that the United States will move its embassy in occupied Palestine to al-Quds (Jerusalem). israel has taken this opportunity to cement its usurpation of not just Jerusalem, but all of Palestine.
Since Land Day on March 30, the Palestinian people have engaged in a six-week campaign called the Great March of Return. As of May 9th, 50 Palestinians have been martyred by Zionist forces, who have shot intentionally at the unarmed protestors, aiming to stop the inevitable march of the Palestinian people to Return. Palestinians, according to all international norms and traditions of oppressed peoples, have the inalienable Right to Resist, no matter what, no matter how, no matter when. We aim to declare our unequivocal support for the Great Return March – and demonstrate that the Palestinian diaspora is part and parcel of the struggle for Palestine.
