PALESTINE activists are due to protest against “the media’s whitewash of Israel’s genocide in Gaza” outside the BBC headquarters in Salford Quays on Saturday.

Beginning at 1pm, the protest will be led by a children’s ceasefire march and will see activists attend from Manchester Friends of Palestine, Manchester Palestine Action, and the Youth Front for Palestine, among others.

Ahead of the protest, a spokesperson from Manchester Friends of Palestine highlighted that “more journalists have been killed by Israel in the last few months in Gaza, the West Bank and Lebanon, than died in the whole of the Vietnam war.”
