Called by Newcastle Palestine Solidarity Campaign and Tyneside Stop the War Campaign. Israell has just confirmed the launch of its latest war on Gaza "Operation Pillar of Defence" also known as "Operation Pillar of Cloud". There is an ever rising death count including children with the deliberate targeting of Mosques and residential areas; a ground invasion is imminent. This comes 4 years after the brutal and devastating Operation Cast Lead, which saw the massacre of nearly 1500 Palestinians. We need bigger numbers on Saturday to make clear that we stand in complete solidarity with the people of Gaza, to call on the Government to denounce Israel's barbarity and to fully divest from Israel.
