London March for Palestine - All to London for Palestine

At what point will Israel’s atrocities be too much for Starmer? 

In the that week saw huge escalations in attacks on the West Bank and Gaza City and preparations for a full-scale ground invasion of Gaza, and in which Israel bombed both Qatar and Yemen and revealed its approach to peace negotiations is to assassinate the negotiators, Starmer disgracefully welcomed Israeli President Isaac Herzog to London. Rather than arresting the war criminal Starmer’s government provided him with a police escort to shelter him from the huge protests that followed the genocide President around the city.

StW and the Hind Rajab Foundation filed a legal complaint calling for the arrest of Herzog while he was in London. Read the press release here. Yet despite the mountain of evidence against Herzog the police failed to act and the CPS rejected the complaint. As Anna Ost, Senior Legal Officer, European Legal Support Centre, said, ”This is yet another example of UKinstitutions not only providing cover for, but actively enabling genocide.” While the state arrests protestors it protects war criminals.

But we will not be deterred, instead our movement grows bigger and louder. The 11 October national demo in London will be massive. It will mark the second anniversary of Israel’s latest war on Gaza, so let’s make it the biggest show of solidarity for Palestine yet. 

With this in mind we are putting out the call All to London for Palestine and asking our supporters to join the bike rides, cavalcades and flotillas coming to London (details to follow).

Start organising now! Get your leaflets and posters from the office,hold street stalls and local meetings to build the demo, book your coaches, join the cavalcades.
