TRANSPORT workers have unanimously condemned the massacre of Palestinian protesters in Gaza and Israel’s apologists for refusing to lay the blame at Israel’s door.
TSSA Euston branch delegate Sarah-Jane Potter, addressing the union’s national conference today, said that since the recent wave of protests began in March in the build-up to the 70th anniversary of the Nakba (“catastrophe,” when Palestinians were forced to flee their land in the violence surrounding the foundation the state of Israel), “Israeli forces have killed at least 120 Palestinians and wounded more than 12,000.”
She pointed out that the anniversary “coincided with the provocative decision by the US government to move its embassy to the illegally occupied Jerusalem” in “a calculated, premeditated act of aggression against the Palestinian people” by President Donald Trump.
