Britain’s complicity in the destruction of the Palestinian people is now 77 years old

From the 1917 Balfour Declaration to today’s F-35 sales, Britain’s historical responsibility has now evolved into support for the present-day outright genocide. But our solidarity movement is growing too, writes BEN JAMAL

MASSIVE MOVEMENT: Thousands rally for Palestine in London, November 2024

THIS WEEK, Palestinians across the globe marked the Nakba, not as a moment of collective trauma enduring in memory but rooted in the past, but as an unbroken, ongoing catastrophe.

Today, as we march again in our hundreds of thousands in the streets of the capital, we do so at a moment where the roots of that catastrophe, the zionist project for the erasure of the Palestinian people, is now manifesting itself with unashamed brutality into an open project of genocide. A genocide whose tapestry, since Israel tore up the ceasefire and cut off all food, water and supplies, is woven with new details and images of unsurpassed horror.
