January 4, 2009 -- Palestinian citizens of Israel held a massive protest 
on January 3, 2009, in Sakhnin, an Arab city in northern Israel, against 
Israel's war on the Palestinian people in Gaza. It was attended by up to 
150,000 protesters. Crowds waving Palestinian flags and brandishing 
pro-Palestinian placards chanted "Gaza will not surrender to the tanks 
and bulldozers!" and "Don't fear, Gaza, we are with you!".

Meanwhile, Israel has begun its ground invasion of Gaza. Around the 
world on January 3, solidarity demonstrations have been held, attended 
by tens of thousands. Two thousand protested in South Africa outside the 
United States Consulate in Johannesburg (statement see below).

Below /Links International Journal of Socialist Renewal/ is gathering 
the most recent statements by Palestinian and solidarity organisations 
and activists. More will be added as they come to hand.
