“We must keep protesting and keep remembering why we are doing this: for an end to the occupation, for the right of return for refugees and for a free Palestine.”
Jeremy Corbyn MP
By Jeremy Corbyn
This Saturday we will once again march in London to demand an immediate, permanent ceasefire – and for the UK government to stop selling arms to Israel.
Please join me and thousands of others marching from Parliament Square to Hyde Park this Saturday.
Yesterday, I wrote how tomorrow’s history books will shame those who had the opportunity to stop this massacre but chose to cheer on war – and a genocide – instead.
We must keep doing all we can in our communities, on our streets and at our workplaces. On May 1st – May Day – we celebrate the achievement of workers and their unions. We must heed the calls of Palestinian trade unionists issued earlier this month under the umbrella of Workers in Palestine and organise in our own workplaces for a free Palestine.
Our friends at Stop the War are organising a workplace day of action, details of which you can find here.
All over the world, people are coming together in support of Palestine. In the US, over 150 students have been arrested for peacefully protesting their universities’ complicity in the Israeli war machine. Demonstrators here have continued to shut down Elbit Systems, with Somerset Council yesterday voting to explore ways to evict the company from its factory in the area.
It has been inspiring to see so many people join the demonstrations – many for the first time. We must keep protesting and keep remembering why we are doing this: for an end to the occupation, for the right of return for refugees and for a free Palestine.
See you on Saturday!
