Tonight at 5.30 p.m., protesters will gather at the Spire in opposition to and horror of the Israeli massacre of people in Jenin. They will be joined by protesters around the world. A general strike has been declared in the West Bank. At least ten people, including two children, have been murdered so far. Hundreds have been injured and 3,000 people have been forced to flee Jenin. There may be many more casualties in the coming days if the onslaught continues, as it appears is the intention of the Israeli state. The mindset of that state is demonstrated by a statement from an Israel Defense Forces, IDF, general that this is about breaking the safe-haven mindset. These are people who have already been displaced from their homes and are living in refugee camps, Now the Israeli state is saying "No, you can't even feel safe there." We do not just need more words; we need action.
