MPAC Workshop
Gaza Workshop - MPACUK - Manchester
- The BLOCKADE of supplies into Gaza will continue
The Gaza Strip has been all but cut off from the outside world since June 2007. There is no freedom of movement for either goods or people entering or leaving the territory. The blockade of fuel and electricity supplies to the Gaza Strip continues.
Humanitarian agencies say the blockade amounts to “collective punishment” - banned by international law - and this has aggravated poverty, with 80 percent of people now dependent on food aid.
The sea and land borders of Gaza are controlled by Israel. Gaza: a concentration camp in all but name.
- More than 130 Palestinians MURDERED in the last few weeks
At the last count, 132 Palestinians were slaughtered in Israeli attacks, including several dozen children, just in the last few weeks.
- New ILLEGAL Settlement Plans will take place
Israel plans to build hundreds of new housing units in the occupied West Bank.
On March 9, Israel announced plans to expand the settlement of Givat Zeev between Ramallah and Jerusalem by as many as 750 new housing units.
On March 11, Israel unveiled plans for a new settlement in occupied East Jerusalem, triggering a chorus of world criticism and warnings it could hamper efforts to restart faltering peace talks. The project is for 400 housing units in the Neve Yaacov neighborhood.
The expansion of Israeli settlements, which is contrary to international law and UN resolutions, undermines the opportunities for achieving a just peace. Israel occupied and annexed East Jerusalem following the 1967 Arab-Israeli war and declared it its “eternal, undivided” capital, a claim not recognised by the international community.
- The Palestinians are now being threatened with a SHOAH, the Hebrew word for the Holocaust
In a shocking perversion of a historical legacy, the word was used by an Israeli defence minister to describe the punishment that would be meted out to the people of Gaza — who are there because they were driven there in 1948.
- The Muslims sleep, deaf to the Palestinians’ plea. A mother weeps, as Gaza bleeds
Do not be responsible for Israel’s actions. ACT NOW.
The Prophet (SAW) said: If one of you sees something evil, he should change it with his hand. If he cannot, he should speak out against it, and if he cannot do even that he should at least detest it in his heart, this being the weakest form of faith. (Sahih Muslim)

Note: I have writtten to MPACUK and asked whether this workshop will be repeated in London and/or Birmingham. I received a reply from a brother who said: “Right now there aren’t any plans to repeat the Gaza workshop in other parts but if you’re interested then please let me know where you are based so that we can keep you up-to-date of similar MPACUK events in your local area.” But if you can make it to Manchester, please do so.
