British campaigners are to stage a new round of protests in condemnation of the latest deadly offensives launched by the apartheid regime of Israel against the besieged Palestinian territory.
The campaign group, Stop the War Coalition, reported that a series of emergency demonstrations would be held against the continuation of the recent airstrikes by the Israeli regime on the Gaza Strip, across British cities including, Cardiff, Edinburgh, Newcastle, Nottingham and Sheffield on November 17.
British activists are also expected to rally once again outside the Israeli Embassy in London in order to express their support for the Palestinian people in the Israeli aggression on Gaza, which has claimed at least 43 lives since November 14.
A number of protests took place in Belfast, Birmingham, Bradford, Brighton, Bristol, Leeds, Durham, Manchester and Oxford earlier this week.
Referring to the worldwide “revulsion and horror” over the new wave Israeli attacks on Gaza, Sarah Colborne of the Palestine Solidarity campaign said, “Israeli politicians may have thought that by breaking the ceasefire, attacking Gaza, killing men, women and children indiscriminately, and committing war crimes, they will win more votes in the forthcoming Israeli elections.”
Meanwhile, Stop the War convener Lindsey German condemned Western support for Israeli atrocities in the region and their portrayal of the regime as a “victim” rather than an “aggressor,” with the help of the media’s “grotesque travesty of the truth” echoing Israel’s defensive purposes.
“Human life and security is way down the list when it comes to considering the interests of US, British and other western foreign policy,” she added.
