On Saturday 10 February, Bristol will see the seventh local Palestine march organised by \u201cBristol Palestine Alliance\u201d (BPA). This time, the theme is ‘educide’ – as Israel<\/a> deliberately wipes out Gaza’s education infrastructure, denying hundreds of thousands of children a future. It comes as local UK rallies will be happening again.<\/p>\n

Israel: carrying out educide in Gaza<\/h2>\n

Times Higher Education<\/em> reported<\/a> that academics have accused Israel of deliberately targeting schools, universities and academics in Gaza as part of a strategy branded educide. 90% of Palestinian Authority schools<\/a> have been subject to damage. Centres of higher education, including universities, have been completely shut down. Twelve higher education institutions in Gaza have been damaged or destroyed.<\/p>\n

Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor said Israel is systematically destroying every university in Gaza. Israa University, located in the south of Gaza city, was mined and deliberately demolished by Israeli forces.<\/p>\n

231 teachers and administrators have been killed along with 94 university professors.<\/p>\n

In the occupied West Bank, which is not controlled by Hamas, students are attacked by the army and armed settlers so schools and universities have had to shift to an e-learning model with online classes.<\/p>\n

So, in Bristol this is the focus of 10 February’s action.<\/p>\n

The march and rally<\/h2>\n

People will assemble for preliminary speeches and placard-making workshop at 12.00pm on College Green, BS1 5RT and the march will move off at 12.30pm<\/p>\n

The march will make its way through the Centre leaving via Baldwin Street. At Bristol Bridge it will turn left onto High Street and then Wine Street before descending Union Street into Broadmead. The march will loop around the shopping centre and finish at the Bandstand BS2 0HQ in Castle Park for the rally.<\/p>\n
