Palestine Freedom Flotilla Surviver Kevin Neish Speaking in Surrey

Sunday 28th November 

At 2:00 pm 

Strawberry Hill Library, Surrey

In 1942, some leading Zionists met in New York to formulate plans for a Jewish state, and from that time the history has witnessed nothing but the brutal and severe war crimes and an organized genocide by zinoist forces of that state on the land of Palestine. The dirty game plans of imperialism generally all over the world and particularly in occupied territories took thousands and thousands of lives of the civilians including a vast majority of women and children. 

In 2010, when brutal blockade of Gaza enters the fourth year, people from different faiths, colors and origin decided to make an effort to break and challenge this barricade by taking humanitarian aid under an arrangement of six ships to Gaza in the name of "Gaza Freedom Flotilla" in the month of May, 2010. Five of the ships were apprehended without loss of life or severe injuries. But on the MV Mavi Marmara, clashes broke out after activists resisted the Israeli forces. Nine activists were killed (Eight Turkish nationals and a Turkish-American), and dozens of activists left severely wounded. A peace activist from Victoria, Kevin Neish was among others on MV Mavi Marmara who witnessed all this brutality with his own eyes. 

To meet Kevin Neish in person, to know what happened there and to be in solidarity with people of Palestine, Fraser Valley Peace Council is holding a public forum in Surrey.
