Demonstration Against Annapolis

On Tuesday, November 27th, at noon, there will be a mass popular
demonstration against the Annapolis conference on Tuesday, organised
by the Palestinian Grassroots Anti Apartheid Wall Campaign and
representatives of civil society, refugees and Islamic and National
forces.

The organisers have issued a declaration of principles warning
Palestinian leaders against bargaining away the national struggle at
the Annapolis conference: http://www.stopthewall.org/downloads/pdf/Declaration%20of%20Principles%20EN.pdf

"Our national cause and legitimate rights have been under direct and
systematic attack from the Israeli Occupation and the United States,
who wish to liquidate the Palestinian struggle by taking advantage of
the split that has weakened us in the face of the huge pressure that
they and their allies have brought to bear.

Any negotiations should be under international supervision, based on
principles of justice and international law, aimed at the
implementation of the rights of our people, and the establishment of a
timeline for such implementation, not negotiation on the rights
themselves."

In the run up to the conference in Annapolis there has been an
increase of violence and repression by the Israeli army. Checkpoints
have been added, existing ones have been closed or increasingly
difficult to cross. Thousands of new Israeli soldiers have been
deployed across the West Bank and on the Gaza border specifically
during Annapolis.

Extra judicial killings continue unabated regardless of political
party, Hamas, Fatah, all Palestinians fall as eighteen-year old boys
with Israeli army uniforms are authorized to be judge, jury, and
executioner. Meanwhile Israel attempts to look like a peacemaker.
