Jewish protesters say that the Board of Deputies, a representative body made up of elected members from synagogues and Jewish organisations, can no longer seek to describe itself as “the voice of the British Jewish Community”

🗓️ *Thurs 18 June, 10.45am-1pm*

Tesco is holding its AGM this Thursday. Join Westminster PSC
We will protest outside Westminster Council House, 97-113 Marylebone Road, London NW1 5PT on Wednesday 17th June from 6 pm. We will be protesting against Westminster Council's complicity with Israel's genocide through their pension investments and procurement. Join us if you can.
Let's be honest. There is a political hierarchy of racism in this country where shocking attacks on one Community get widespread condemnation and COBRA meetings whilst violent programs and attacks on other communities get next to no response. Shocking
Today marks Nakba Day, an annual day of remembrance to commemorate the expulsion of more than 700,000 Palestinians between 1947 and 1949 during the creation of the State of Israel and the year that followed.
Inea is a New Yorker and a Nakba survivor. She shared her story with us — one of home, tradition and memory over generations.
PERSONAL STATEMENT:
6 years ago my partner of 40 years was diagnosed with early onset dementia. She had to give up work, although she was able to maintain a level of independence for a time. This left me able to lead PSC in its response to Israel’s genocide against the Palestinian people. However her condition has deteriorated and I am no longer able to give the full time I need to the role of PSC Director. That job is too important to be done by someone who cannot devote the time required to fulfil its responsibilities in full. With sadness I have made the decision to resign.
As many of you know, I am appealing against the outrageous conviction I received alongside Chris Nineham of Stop the War Coalition for leading the peaceful protest on January 18th 2024. The date for our appeal was confirmed yesterday as being December 14th. I will ensure that I am able to devote the time required to enable a successful appeal, and PSC will continue to fully support that process.
I'm proud of the work that PSC - through its outstanding staff team and network of now over 100 branches - has done to build the campaign for Palestinian rights in the UK, in the past 10 years, becoming Europe's largest Palestine solidarity organisation.
The movement for Palestinian liberation has been and will remain the cause of my life, and I hope and intend to be able to continue to remain active in support of it. However right now, my priority has to be my family alongside my court appeal.
Join us on May 16 in London to mark the 78th anniversary of the Nakba, the catastrophe of 1948 when Israel drove over 750,000 Palestinians from their homes.
🎥 Watch different generations of Palestinians in Britain tell their Nakba stories.
🚨 Smotrich: West Bank Settlement Expansion Has “Full Backing” of Trump Administration
Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich told the Jerusalem Post that Israel’s accelerating settlement expansion in the occupied West Bank is being carried out with full U.S. support, coordinated directly with President Trump, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and Ambassador Mike Huckabee.
▪️ Since the current government took office in 2022, over 51,000 housing units have been approved for the West Bank, according to Smotrich’s office.
▪️ The Sa-Nur settlement in West Bank, evacuated 20 years ago under Israel’s Disengagement Plan, was reestablished Sunday, with over a dozen families already in residence. Smotrich said more settlements would follow “very soon.”
▪️ Smotrich called on Netanyahu to order the IDF to prepare for the “full conquest” of the Gaza Strip and the establishment of Israeli settlements there as well.
▪️ He said Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank are “part of the Iranian axis of evil” and dismissed documented Jewish extremist violence against Palestinians as “one of the biggest false campaigns there is.”
▪️ On international condemnation: “In the past, even building 50 housing units would lead to condemnation. Today it is very different.”
Smotrich acknowledged Trump has not yet backed full West Bank annexation, but claimed “we will also succeed in that.”
