Protesters in Tel Aviv Call for an end to 42 Years of Israeli Occupation
Hundreds Come to Commemorate 42 Years of Occupation in Tel Aviv
On, Saturday, June 6, hundreds came to the Rabin Square in Tel Aviv, to protest 42 years of an ongoing occupation of the Golan Heights, the West Bank, and Gaza since the Six Days War in 1967. Organized by the Communist Party of Israel (Hadash), protesters held signs calling to end the clocked and bombardment of Gaza and for a just peace.

Two protesters groups dominated the demonstrations, the communists leading the march and the Anarcho-Feminist. Chants and signs by the communists included calls for a two state solution and just peace, while the sign and chants by the anarchists defined the Israeli military as a terrorist organization and called for the abolition of all states.

The marchers belong to organizations and parties such as Hadash (the Democratic Front for Peace and Equality), the Communist Party of Israel, Meretz , Gush Shalom, Yesh Gvul and Anarchists Against the Wall.

Head of Hadash, Member of the Knesset (the Israeli parliament) Mohammed Barakeh, addressed the demonstration stating that "occupation norms were slowly penetrating Israeli society and threatening democracy with such occurrences as the Nakba laws, the discrimination against the Arab-Palestinians in Israel, the harming of freedom of speech and politics, and more".
