63rd Year of Al Nakbah in Toronto

Dear Sisters and Brothers;

Salam Aleikum;

Please, see below a few photos from the rally commemorating the 63rd anniversary of Nakbah/Catastrophe held in Toronto on May 15th.

Hundreds, some 250, friends of Palestine and the Palestinian people/youth came together under a rainy sky to condemn the ongoing atrocities of the Zionist regime of Israel against the Palestinian people since the Nakbah of 1948.

The event was endorsed by:

·        Palestine House
·        Toronto Coalition to Stop the War
·        Coalition Against Israeli Apartheid
·        Students Against Israeli Apartheid
·        Independent Jewish Voices
·        Canada Boat for Gaza
·        Canadian Arab Federation and...
·        Palestinian Youth Network

The great majority of the participants and the speakers were young Arab/Palestinians/Muslims who didn't want to end the rally, which took place across from the Consulate of Israel in Toronto, where the supporters of Israel were out in almost a similar number!!!

The rally finished with music and chants of solidarity with the cause of the Palestinian people at the north end of Queen's Park where the provincial legislative assembly meets.

Insha' Allah that Palestine will be free.

Some of the chants at the rally:

Free Free Palestine
Harper Harper (referring to Canada's Prime Minister) you will see (Palestine will be Free)
From the river to the sea (Palestine will be free)
From Iraq to Palestine (Occupation is a crime)

Take care and have a nice day.
Brotherly,
