NAKBA 77 – March for a Free Palestine

** POSTPONED TO SATURDAY 17TH MAY, 15:00 DUE TO WEATHER **

🇵🇸 On Thursday, 15th May, we will march along the Gżira waterfront to commemorate the 77th anniversary of the Nakba, condemn the ongoing genocide in Gaza, and raise our voices in solidarity for a free Palestine.

⚫ The Nakba – meaning The Catastrophe – refers to the mass killing and expulsion of Palestinians in 1948 to make way for the establishment of the Israeli state.

⛓️ What followed – the theft of land and resources, mass imprisonments, apartheid, occupation, blockades, and now genocide – represents the continuation of the project of colonisation and oppression by Israel of the Palestinian people.

🇲🇹 We call on Malta’s government, institutions, companies, and citizens to 👇

1️⃣ Officially recognise the State of Palestine
2️⃣ Enforce an arms embargo
3️⃣ Sanction vessels, aircraft, and individuals involved in the arms trade supporting the genocide
4️⃣ Prevent Israeli war criminals from entering our peaceful islands

🇪🇺 We also call on Members of the European Parliament, European institutions, and European companies to 👇

1️⃣ Suspend the EU-Israel Association Agreement until Israel complies with the rulings of the International Court of Justice (ICJ)
2️⃣ Suspend Israel from participating in sports and cultural events, including the Eurovision Song Contest, following the precedent set with Russia after its invasion of Ukraine

📍 We will gather at the Council of Europe Garden in Gżira at 6:00pm.

🗝️ Bring Palestinian flags and keys — symbols of the Palestinian right and determination to return to their stolen homes and lands.
