Palestine support action in Brixton
Just got the heads up but it’s a bit garbled so far. Apparently it’s kicking off a bit at today‘s Palestine support demo.

That is not what happened.
The attacks on Palestinian villages/ murder of Palestinian men and expulsion of villagers started before the creation of Israel.
Haganah and other Zionist groups started this once they realised the UN partition would leave them with a lot of Palestinians.
Zionism is about demographics and land. The UN borders were generous to the Zionists. But for them it was not all about land it was about land and demographics.
Coming to nearer present its why they did not annex West Bank straight away in 1967. It would mean making a lot of Palestinians Israeli citizens.
The intervention by Arab countries was to little to late for many Palestinian villages and towns in 1948. Only happened after end of Mandate.
British looked on as Zionist paramilitary groups started expelling Palestinians
The King of Jordan did have agreement with Zionists he could have West Bank as long as he did not interfere with them in rest of Palestine.
When the Zionist paramilitary groups found they were so successful they did make moves on West Bank.
The Jordanian army ( one of the better in the region) put up stiff resistance and stopped them.
Israel was built on ethnic cleansing.

Every now and again on these threads about Gaza posters pop up to accuse those who support Palestinians of anti semitism
When this is posted up- A Jewish Cllr under threat of being de selected for his support of Palestinians and a ceasefire there is silence.
I find it more than distasteful that a local party can try to get rid of a left wing Cllr in this way.
For a Labour group that fell over themselves to have a go at Corbyn for anti semitism trying to de select a Jewish Cllr because he supports a ceasefire does not show imo that the right wing Labour group had any genuine interest in opposing anti semitism.

If you're a member of the Labour Party, you're 25 times more likely to be expelled for antisemitism if you're Jewish than if you're not Jewish. It was never about opposing antisemitism, which does exist in Labour, but that's not what the purges are about.

Im not blaming PSC for the route but its going through the City which is deserted on weekend.
Its almost like the march has been put into a quarantine.

Might seem a daft question so far into this, but is there a list of national and local demos anywhere? The PSC site has national actions, but I keep missing local stuff. I'm near Manchester at the moment but the Manchester branch site is a bit hit and miss in terms of listing future events.

There's a march in Manchester at 11AM apparently. Not seen anything online, just going off what I've been told.

This is very cool, I wonder what the workers in the factories are thinking about all this?

Do you do any social media at the moment, and/or are there many social media things that you can view without needing an account?
This is the demo for tomorrow on instagram:
Or there's always WhatsApp if you feel like having more WhatsApp groups in your life?
No idea, I've seen it suggested that there is at least some outreach work happening around Glasgow, but that's entirely vague and second-hand. I am also now wondering how generous arms factories are with closing down and giving everyone time off around the xmas period, or if there might actually be one that I can make it to while I'm off work.

Ta very much. And fits in with the football.

There are more people in the city on weekends these days than you suggest. But it's a peculiar route, going along fleet street and down the embankment will be largely deserted even during the week.
