We will never stop our protests until Palestine is free
A temporary ceasefire does not change the brutal reality of the military occupation and the daily injustices inflicted on the Palestinian people, writes BEN JAMAL of the Palestine Solidarity Campaign
Palestine protest

SOME 150,000 people took to the streets of London last week in protest against Israel’s brutal bombardment of the Gaza Strip, its ethnic cleansing of Palestinians in Jerusalem from their ancestral homes and its violent, repressive treatment of Palestinians inside Israel exercising their right to protest. 

Yesterday a ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas came into effect and many think this will be the end of it, calling on all parties to now restore “calm.”

And while there is no doubt that life for the Jewish-Israeli population will indeed go back to normal, with the beaches and clubs of Tel Aviv heaving, calm is not a concept Palestinians get to enjoy along with them.
