++ TAKE ACTION: Oppose the Attack on Gaza Please circulate widely

Over the past 24 hours, Israel has intensified its massacre of the people of Gaza. The attacks continue from the air, navy and ground assaults.

Friends of Al-Aqsa calls upon everyone to intensify protests against this barbarity.

While the Israeli war machine is murdering Palestinians; governments around the world are still failing to condemn Israel and assert international pressure on the aggressive state to stop this war. The media is allowing Israeli narratives t o go unchallenged and the Israeli economy is being boosted while Gaza lies in ruins.

TAKE ACTION today and every day until these attacks stop.
