The Palestine coalition is deeply concerned by the decision by the Met police to permit a UKIP march to end in Trafalgar Square tomorrow (31 Jan), not far from where our national march for Palestine will be passing. The UKIP march, though expected to be small, should not be allowed anywhere near our Palestine march. …
This weekend Donald Trump unveiled details of his so-called “Board of Peace”, a disgraceful plan to entrench colonial rule over Gaza. The “Executive Council” will be stacked with Trump’s allies and cronies, including US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner, and former Prime Minister Tony Blair, a man whose hands are stained with the blood of hundreds of thousands of dead Iraqis. Neither Blair, Trump, nor any of these figures should be anywhere near …

This Ramadan, don’t break your fast with an Israeli date. Stand in solidarity with the Palestinian people.

PSC utterly condemns yesterday’s attack on Birzeit University in the illegally occupied West Bank. The Israeli military invaded in the middle of the day, destroying the university’s main gate, and firing live ammunition, tear gas and stun grenades at students and staff. At least forty students and academics have been injured, including five who have …
Palestine Coalition condemns the recent escalation of attempts to suppress solidarity with Palestine
Recent days have seen a significant escalation of attempts to suppress the movement in solidarity with Palestine, with politicians and police dangerously conflating protest with terrorism in the wake of the horrific Bondi Beach attack and falsely portraying support for Palestinian rights as a threat to Jewish people.

Last night the Metropolitan Police contacted the Palestine Coalition threatening to effectively ban our planned protest today. They indicated their intention to ban the protest from virtually the whole of central London including Whitehall and the entire area around Parliament and that anyone protesting for Palestine within these areas would be at risk of arrest.

Five have already been hospitalised, and each passing day brings the risk of irreversible harm. These young people – none of whom have been convicted …
