"Peak season for Israeli Violations"

“Peak season for Israeli violations

It is just past peak season for Israeli violations against Palestinian fishers, according to Nizar Ayyash, the chairman of the fishers’ syndicate in Gaza.

He said that the fishing season, which runs from April to June, constitutes about 40 to 50 percent of the annual output of the fishing sector in Gaza, so it’s no surprise that Israeli violations are concentrated around these months.

He has observed that such violations against Palestinian fishers are systematic, timed to occur during the months when fishers could be bringing in their biggest hauls.

A recent report from Al-Mezan Center for Human Rights shows that from January 2022 to early July, the Israeli navy carried out more than 225 attacks against Palestinian fishers – up from 195 during that same period in 2021.”

Alliance sign in Jamaica Plain, MA~

Friends,

The Alliance is so lucky to work with Red Sun Press on our banners and signs. Red Sun recently installed the beautiful sign below. Because it is very close to a subway stop, there is a lot of foot traffic.

We thank Paul Normandia for his artistic talent.

A few Alliance members flank this beautiful image.
