‘Stop Arming Israel, Stop Bombing Gaza’: Thousands March in London Demanding Justice for Palestinians

Common Dreams – by Jake Johnson

Thousands took to the streets of London on Saturday to show solidarity with the Palestinian people and demand an end to Israel’s brutal occupation.

Ahed Tamimi—the 18-year-old Palestinian activist who became a global protest icon after she was imprisoned for slapping Israeli soldiers outside of her home in the occupied West Bank—joined Saturday’s march and delivered a speech to demonstrators:

Members of the U.K. Labour Party also joined or backed the demonstration, which was organized by the Palestine Solidarity Campaign, the Stop the War Coalition, and other groups.

“Palestine has the right to exist but sadly that is a right that is increasingly threatened,” said Labour MP Richard Burgeon. “Palestinians should be able to live free from ever expanding settlements on stolen land.”

The London march took place just a week after an Israeli assault on Gaza killed over 20 Palestinians, including two pregnant women and two infants.

On Friday, as Al Jazeera reported, Israeli forces killed one Palestinian and injured dozens more during anti-occupation demonstrations.

  1. And all have been identified (correctly or not) with FR cameras, and will be summarily charged with anti-Semitic crimes.

    For speaking the truth….of course…..

  2. “Palestinians should be able to live free from ever expanding settlements on stolen land.”

    Unfortunately, that land USED to belong to the Hebrews.

    Most of them never returned from the Babylonian exile, so the land reverted to the stinking Talmudic jews who DID return to Israel… only to burn down the temple in 70 A.D., so that all the genealogical records were destroyed, and they could present their FALSE CLAIM of being ‘God’s Chosen’.

    Chosen for DESTRUCTION is all those murdering scumbag pukes are.
