A large number of activists and organisations who have 
been campaigning against the genocide, will be meeting in 
Cape Town, at Community House 41 Salt River rd, Salt River 
at 17h30 on Monday 12 January 2009 to discuss concrete 
solidarity support for the Palestinians under attack. 
There has been a call for an international general strike 
against the genocide. The meeting is open to all activists 
and interested democratically minded people.
Having heard that the Norwegian transport union is giving 
a lead by already implementing a 2 minute work stoppage 
each day, and each day the genocide continues, to add an 
extra 2 minutes, the carrying forward of this campaign 
throughout South Africa is on the agenda.
A press conference will be held at 19h00 on the outcome of 
the meeting (at the same venue).
In the words of the Palestinian General Trade Union, this 
campaign belongs to us all. for further information and

Norwegian Train Drivers Strike For Gaza

 From the Stop the War Coaition in the UK:

The Norwegian Locomotive Drivers Union has shown what 
trade
unions in Britain should be doing now: taking action in
support of the Palestinians in Gaza.
On Thursday 8 January all trains in the whole of Norway, 
and
all trams and subways in Oslo, stood still for two minutes 
in
protest against the Israeli invasion. The union issued the
following information for passengers:
Because of the situation in the Gaza Strip, the Locomotive
Drivers Union in Norway has decided to demonstrate our
solidarity with the Palestinian people. This will be 
organised
by adding two more minutes of stoppage at the station. The
same action applies to all passenger trains in Norway
simultaneously. We demand the immediate withdrawal of all
Israeli troops from the Palestinian territory. Thank you 
for
your understanding.
