Palestine protest organisers hit back at pro-Israeli activist claims
Pro-Israel supporters and pro-Palestine supporters hold opposing demonstrations in Tottenham Court Road, in central London, April 20, 2024
PALESTINE ceasefire march organisers have rejected the false claims of a pro-Israel activist claiming that Jewish people are not welcome at the peaceful protests.
Campaign groups Stop the War Coalition, Palestine Solidarity Campaign, Friends of Al-Aqsa and others have organised weekly demonstrations since October 7, attended by more than a million people who want to see an end to Israel’s sustained military attack on Gaza and Britain’s complicity.
The groups said that pro-Israel groups and the government have made repeated false claims to demonise the protests and block any criticism of Israel.
