– IN VANTAA
"FROM VANTAA TO PALESTINE"

📍 Starting point of the march: Heureka parking lot
(Kuninkaalantie 5, Vantaa)
More specific location: the northern end of the parking area
📍 Final place and speeches: Tikkurilantori, next to Vantaa City Hall

🗓 Saturday 18.10.2025 at 15:00-16:30

Join the first demonstration organized by Palestinian communities in Vantaa to demand a an end to the genocide and starvation of Palestinians and a free Palestine.

Together we will show that we do not accept violence, occupation, ethnic cleansing, starvation, apartheid or any other form of genocide!

🇵🇸 Only Palestinian flags are allowed at the demonstration
🚫 Racist, sexist or otherwise discriminatory symbols and slogans that contain or incite hate speech are not allowed
🔺 There will be a police officer at the event to monitor security

🫂 There are de-escalators present who you can turn to if you feel unsafe or have any concerns.

📣 We also have shouters with whom you can participate in common slogans – but you can also demonstrate quietly if it feels more natural. Every way of being present is valuable!

💬 Bring signs, friends, and a voice for justice!

Accessibility:
The route is relatively accessible, but there are two steeper ascents and descents at the beginning of the route. There are three road crossings on the route (there are pedestrian crossings, only one of which is a light intersection). At the Tikkurila health center, the bottleneck was a road construction site next to it on Kielotie, which is why the walking route will become narrower and continue narrow for a short distance on Asematie.

Organizers: Palcif & Sumud Helsinki

Supporters: AKYS, Health for Palestine Finland, Students for Palestine, Crafts4Gaza, Äitikapina - Mothers rebellion

Tähän saamaani kommenttiin viitaten vielä sama suomeksi (kuvakaappauksissa alt-tekstit englanniksi):

EI, Gazassa EI OLE sisällissotaa‼️

Blokkaan jokaisen, joka tuota miehittäjä-israelin ja muiden terroristien käyttämää propagandaa levittää ‼️

Tweet by Robert Inlakesh: ”A Palestinian Civil War In Gaza? No, but here’s why people are saying so…

What is currently happening in Gaza is that a number of Israeli-backed proxy militias are fighting against Hamas aligned security forces.

There are three primary groups, who Israel & Israeli media have exposed as taking direct backing & orders from the military. All started by looting aid trucks & are composed of criminals, thieves, Salafists associated with ISIS & drug traffickers.

They include the so-called “Popular Forces” (Rafah), the “Counterterrorism Strike Force” (Khan Younis) & “People’s Army Northern Forces” (Northern Gaza).

They have no popular support at all, they are simply Israeli backed death squads.

Yet, certain individuals affiliated with the mainstream wing of Fatah that controls the PA, as well as Israeli propagandists, are weaponising the ongoing clashes to claim that there’s some kind of revolt against Hamas.”

Tweet by Robert Inlakesh continues:
”This is false & by no means are the majority of Fatah supporters going along with this.

Unfortunately, these criminals who quite literally spent most of the genocide committing armed robbery, seizing aid, living under Israeli protection & murdering civilians, are now hiding in the some 56-58% of Gaza which Israel is yet to withdraw from & began escalating their operations on Israeli orders since day one of the ceasefire agreement.

These operations have including killing Hamas security forces & assassinating prominent personalities. They have also been committing armed robberies & murdering civilians.

In 2007, the US government covertly armed a Fatah led Coup plot in Gaza, but it was foiled, which led to a real and bloody civil war. This was actually a conflict between two parties with popular support & the damage done back then has never fully healed.

This right now is not a “civil-war”, it is an Israeli proxy force attempting to sow chaos & implement an agenda. There’s a big difference.

The chances are, Hamas, and, if needed, the other Palestinian factions, will crush this plot. Yet it will prove difficult to do it quickly as the Israeli-backed death squads are currently hiding out in areas where the Israeli military maintains a presence.

Please avoid falling into the political agendas of Zionists. These groups are not going to run Gaza, if you took the leadership of any of the groups & threw them into a packed street anywhere in Gaza they would be dealt with by the public who come from all political affiliations, as everyone in Gaza knows them as collaborator thugs.”

Saleh was 27 years old with his life ahead of him. He loved his people, he loved his religion, he loved his land. He covered the genocide for two years as the powers of the world tried to silence his voice. His voice will live on, even after the occupation ends. Glory to the martyrs.

The voice of Gaza. He was continually banned from social media and the evil occupation continued to target him and spew propaganda about him so they can murder him. Yet his voice still reached the world. Glory be to our martyrs.

FIFA is too cowardly to kick the occupation state from all competitions so countries are making sure they don’t advance by trashing them. Norway won their match today 5-0 and Norway’s soccer federation says it will donate all profits from this World Cup qualifying game to aid work in Gaza.
