November, 2012 - The Palestinian people is once again attacked by Israeli military forces in a new operation called « Pillar of Defense». The bombings by Israel that started on the 14th, and apparently ended yesterday (21st) after the announcement of a ceasefire, resulted in the death of 162 Palestinians and over 1000 injured people, most of them civilians. Several children were among them. In this context, the World Social Forum Free Palestine is scheduled to begin on November 28th through December 1st, in Porto Alegre, Brazil.

Thursday marked an emblematic day for the Palestinian people, since 65 years ago (on November 29, 1947) the United Nations General Assembly declared the division of Palestine into an Arab State and a Jewish State. Since then, the advance of the Jewish State over the Arab State has been dramatic. It is estimated that the State of Israel has taken over nearly 80% of Arab territory. The United Nations declared November 29 as the International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People. Besides, it was precisely on Thursday that the United Nations General Assembly voted to recognize Palestine as a “Nonmember observer State”. Read more
