Justice for Palestine Warsaw – Sprawiedliwość dla Palestyny

When: Friday, July 10th, 6 pm

Where: Centrum Olimpijskie (room B) ul. Wybrzeże Gdyńskie 4, Warsaw

This event is organised by the European Left Alliance (ELA), in the framework of the Justice for Palestine European Citizens’ Initiative. It focused on the Justice for Palestine initiative and its broader implications for advocacy in solidarity with Palestine. The speakers discussed how to effectively counter human rights violations and build global solidarity together.

Israel is committing genocide and ethnic cleansing against the Palestinian population. However, the European Union still chooses to trade with Israel and maintain the EU–Israel Association Agreement. The European Citizens’ Initiative “Justice for Palestine” demands the full suspension of the EU–Israel Association Agreement. Launched by ELA, the initiative has already gathered over 1.2 million signatures from citizens across Europe, in only four months – a powerful democratic mandate that the European Commission and EU Member States cannot ignore.

This event played an important role in raising further awareness of the Justice for Palestine campaign in Poland, and in highlighting our call for the full suspension of the EU-Israel Association Agreement.

Programme

The event will feature two panel discussions:
  • Isolate Israel: Europe in Defense of International Law
  • Mobilisation for Palestine: Civil Resistance Against Israel’s Impunity
