Summer actions against the "Tel Aviv Beach" on the Danube river in Vienna: Asking for Help

The Israeli chamber of commerce in Vienna (Austria) have got the permission, for the opening of the «Tel Aviv Beach »  from the Mayor of Vienna (Häupl, socialist)  on the Viennese Donaukanal (right bank) to honor the 100 years of Tel Aviv this year. On the 10th of May the beach has been opened to the public.

In  strong protest against this obscene « Tel Aviv Beach » all pro Palestinian organisations (Women in black, the anti-imperialist movement, the Austrian -Arab associations, moslem organisations,) together opened the «Gaza Beach » on the left bank of the Donaukanal.

The actions planned for the whole summer will disturb the « Israeli beach ambience. »  There will be a strong moment on the weekend of 27/28 june with the street theater from France playing  « Checkpoint » in featuring the brutal daily oppression in the OT and Gaza by the Israeli occupying army. There is also a military vehicle transformed into an Israeli prison with photos and films from the last barbaric Israeli offensive in Gaza.

We would like people of other countries to participate in the «checkpoint » play, which is mostly with gestures. It would be great if some people from other European countries could come on that weekend or on others:  the 20 June, 4 July and 8 August. The lodging of the activists will be assured by the organisation.
