To commemorate the anniversary of the Israeli ‘Operation Cast Lead’ attack on Gaza, and to highlight Israeli’s ongoing brutality coupled with the cruel and illegal siege of Gaza, the Ireland-Palestine Solidarity Campaign Belfast Branch (IPSC) is calling on people to gather at 2 PM on Wednesday 1st of January at the International Peace Wall, Falls Road to attend our New Year’s Day vigil for the people of Palestine, especially those besieged in Gaza.

Please bring Palestinian flags if you have them.

Let us remind the people of Palestine that not one year, one day or one minute passes that we are not standing in solidarity with them.

Please spare an hour of your time to remember the victims of the attacks on Gaza in 2008/9, 2012, 2014 and all the killings that have taken place over the past four years, including on the Great March of Return this year, and the ongoing illegal Israeli siege of Gaza which has resulted in a man-made crisis in Gaza. Remember all those Palestinians who have passed this year in a foreign land waiting to return home. Their struggle is not forgotten.
