The British government has today announced a new set of sanctions against six companies and individuals involved in financing, enabling and carrying out settler violence in the illegally occupied West Bank. Whilst any move towards additional sanctions is correct, these are tiny and piecemeal steps which will not prevent Israel from continuing to act with impunity in …
PSC condemns the kidnapping and mistreatment of humanitarian activists aboard the Global Sumud Flotilla by the Israeli military. The people aboard the Flotilla were attempting to break Israel’s decades-long, deadly siege on Gaza, which is currently depriving hundreds of thousands of Palestinians of their essential needs.

On Saturday, 250,000 people took to the streets of London — to mark 78 years since the beginning of the Nakba, and to stand firm against the resurgence of the far right in our country. They came peacefully and with clarity about what this moment demands. The organisers would like to protest again in the …
The organisers of this Saturday’s march for Palestine and against the far-right would like to correct various untruths in the Metropolitan police’s briefing. The suggestion that our march poses a threat comparable to that of Stephen Yaxley Lennon’s (aka Tommy Robinson’s) far-right mobilisation is ridiculous.

It has tried to effect illegal regime change, has brought death and destruction across the Middle East, and is in danger of widening into further conflict.

The Palestine coalition welcomes news of the High Court’s historic ruling which declared the British government’s ban on Palestine Action unlawful.
