The Venue for the JNF Conference, featuring Israeli Kadima party leader
Tzipi Livni, has been revealed as Hendon Hall Hotel in North West London
The International Solidarity Movement London is one of the collection
of Palestine solidarity groups that called for the demonstration
against Tzipi Livni and the JNF conference this Sunday. Timed almost a
year to the day since Israel began �Operation Cast Lead�, the brutal
massacre which left 1417 Palestinians dead and the besieged Gaza Strip in
ruins, this event is a disgrace.
We will demonstrate not only to show our disgust towards a politician
who, as Foreign Minister at the time of the Gaza offensive, carries
huge responsibility for the atrocities committed by Israeli forces
last December and January, but also against the institution of the JNF
itself.
Although the JNF presents a greenwashed image to the world, its clean
image covers a dark reality. The JNF is a body which acquires and
administers land in Israel/Palestine for the use of Jews only. At the
start of the 20th century this served the purpose of ethnically
cleansing the inhabitants of the land that was to become Israel and
paving the way for the establishment of the nascent Jewish state.
Today the organisation, which controls 13% of land in Israel, serves
the purpose of enforcing the exile of Palestinians refugees, who are
unable to return to land that is demarcated for Jews only, and of
cementing Israeli apartheid.
If 13% of land in England was allocated for whites only, there would
be an outcry. On Sunday we call on all people of conscience to show
the same level of disgust at a racist organisation that, although not
administering land in London, has set itself up right within our
community, and enjoys the benefits of charitable status in over 50
countries.
Assemble from 10am onwards at the Hendon Hall Hotel, Ashley Lane, Hanedon,
London NW4 1HF. Bring banners, flags and noise, lets ruin their
conference!
