March 30 coincides with Palestinian Land Day, which commemorates the day in 1976 when Israeli security forces shot and killed six young Palestinian citizens of Israel . These youth were among the thousands of Palestinians protesting Israel ’s expropriation of Palestinian land to build new Jewish-only colonies and expand existing Jewish-only cities. Today, Land Day commemorates Palestinian resistance to Israel ’s ongoing policies of illegal land expropriation, colonization, occupation and apartheid.
Since it is hard not to make links between colonization everywhere, land seizure and the works, I thought it would be appropriate in discussing land here in Canada and the identities and realities manifested through it, to pay homage to Palestinian Land Day.
so I printed pieces of the Goldstone report onto ribbon. a small act. meaningless really, but cathartic and interesting. would like to do the whole report, anyone want to fund it?
