Zionists try to stop WSF Free Palestine in Porto Alegre


5. November 2012

Zionists are in contact with the mayor of Porto Alegre (PoA) and the governor of Rio Grande do Sul (PoA is the capital of Rio Grande do Sul state) against the World Social Forum Free Palestine. In part they succeed, because now the WSF have lost the Usina do Gasômetro, the place where it would be held.

Zionists are in contact with the mayor of Porto Alegre (PoA) and the
governor of Rio Grande do Sul (PoA is the capital of Rio Grande do Sul state) against the World Social Forum Free Palestine. In part they
succeed, because now the WSF have lost the Usina do Gasômetro, the place where it would be held.

Brazilian Organizing Committee is trying to maintain Gasômetro, but, as we don’t know what will happen, we are trying to ensure other places in Porto Alegre for the conferences, activities, lectures and a local for the media work (the traditional one and the independent one, as well as the News Agency Free Palestine, which I coordinate and whose journalists will keep  informed the public and the media about what is going on at the WSFFP in real time).
 

The Zionists from Federação Israelita do Rio Grande do Sul (Israeli
Federation) said to the governor, Tarso Genro, that they fear attacks
from Palestinian “radicals” against their properties. It make some of us to think that they can promote a false flag in PoA and blame the
Palestinians for it.
 

Tarso Genro suggested a meeting among Palestinian and Israelis
ambassadors, for demonstrations of good will and peace, but the
Palestinian ambassador in Brazil, Ibrahim Alzeben, refused the proposal.

Palestine is a occupied country which people have been suffering ethnic cleaning since 19th century. Palestinians want and deserve freedom, justice and sovereignty, not normalization.
 

Recently, the Ethic Tribunal which would judge the Zionists acts against Palestinians and which would take place in Buenos Aires, capital of Argentina — an initiative from Argentinean pro Palestine organizations — was forbidden due to the pressure of Zionist lobby in Argentina.

It’s important that we join efforts for denounce those Zionist’s acts
all over the world and that all of us lodge protests against those acts,
through which Zionists want to silence Latin American public and prevent them to know the true about what Zionism movement is doing in Palestine, from before Nakba until now.
 

We count on you for publishing this alert and our protest against that
action which is an attack against freedom of meeting and expression, and against the rescue of the historical true.
