National Lobby of Parliament for Palestine – have you asked your MP yet?
Donate to PSC today and help build our essential work.
Plans to forcibly displace 40,000 Palestinian Bedouins are moving ahead at alarming speed. The Israeli Cabinet have just voted to replace Bedouin homes with Jewish settlements – despite the fact these Palestinian Bedouin are full citizens of the state of Israel and were told to settle in those areas by the State.
Palestinians are therefore calling a Day of Rage at the end of November. PSC are supporting this by asking you to raise the issue of the ethnic cleansing of Palestinian Bedouin at the National Lobby of Parliament for Palestine on Wednesday 27th November.
You can email your MP now about the lobby, using our easy email tool.
Make sure you also book for the evening rally after the lobby of Parliament. We have a fantastic line-up of MPs, Palestinians and other leading figures fighting for Palestinian human rights.
Join PSC today and help build solidarity for Palestine.
