The grotesque statements by US President Donald Trump this week – that the US will ‘take over’ the Gaza Strip and forcibly remove the Palestinian population of more than 2 million – have exposed the long-standing Israeli plan for ethnic cleansing. For more than a year, Israel and its supporters have denied that the true aim of the genocidal assault on Gaza has been the destruction of the Palestinian population, and denial of all of their rights including the right to self determination. Backed and supported by the USA for its own imperial interests, that objective is now explicit. We must act urgently to stop this monstrous plan.
This Saturday, 8 February we are asking all our supporters to be out mobilising for the February 15 demonstration to the US Embassy. We need hundreds of thousands to join us on the streets of London for a huge march from Whitehall to the US Embassy to send a clear message to the British government and to Trump – freedom for Palestine, no to ethnic cleansing, stop arming Israel.
