Rally Against Israeli Piracy Held in Winnipeg

Over 150 people rallied at the four corners of Broadway and Osborne on Friday, June 4 to oppose Israel's blockade of Gaza and its killing of nine human rights activists, part of the Gaza Freedom Flotilla (see editorial).  A large banner proclaimed "Enough is Enough.  End the blockade of Gaza.  End Israeli Apartheid".  Thousands of leaflets were handed out during the busy rush hour, and hundreds of passing cars honked in support.  The rally was organized by Peace Alliance Winnipeg, Canada-Palestine Support Network-Winnipeg and Independent Jewish Voices.
