TENS of thousands of protesters mobilised all over Britain on Saturday in support of Palestine as Israel continued to rain bombs, shells and missiles on more than two million people trapped in the siege of Gaza.

Britain’s protesters were among hundreds of thousands worldwide who took up the call for an end to the bombing and restoration of water, power, food and medical supplies to what has been called “the world’s largest prison camp.”

Protesters defied ludicrous warnings from Home Secretary Suella Braverman that carrying the flag of Palestine might be an arrestable offence. Protests were marked by a sea of red, white, green and black Palestinian flags.
