Peace group plans Gaza protests

An Auckland-based peace group is planning a series of protests at major centres around the country against Israel's bombing of Gaza.

Global Peace and Justice Auckland (GPJA) plan to kick-start demonstrations tomorrow with a protest against Rakon Industries in Mt Wellington, Auckland.

It said that Rakon provided crystal oscillators for bombs used by the Israeli airforce.

Protests in Christchurch and Dunedin have also been planned for tomorrow.

"We will be marching in solidarity with the Palestinian people and their right to self determination," GPJA said.

It was also planning a march on Parliament on Tuesday with protesters asked to bring or make a key as a symbol of "Palestinian dispossession".
