The way they look back down at her and then leave her and carry on, my God.

Someone at my local one today had his friend (or maybe relative) in Rafah on a video call, and was going around the crowd showing us to him, that alone made it feel quite worthwhile.

Sadly this time not me.
I have platelet donation booked for tomorrow.
I would have liked to have gone as weather is good and recent stuff from Tories about how these marches are undermining democracy/ British values as incensed me enough to want to go.

Good article.
The Jewish Bloc was big at the last demo.
They are getting more flack from other sectors of Jewish community for attending these marches now.
In my opinion revolutionary socialist Jews like Barnaby Raine are great. Glad there are people like him helping to organise the Jewish Bloc at demos

Organisers of groups set to join pro-Palestine demo on Saturday criticise government counter-extremism advisor Robin Simcox’s comments and warn they risk stoking further antisemitism

A bit of research on that point, the most recent Institute for Jewish Policy Research survey found that 63% of British Jews identify as Zionist, whereas a similar survey in 2010 found a figure of 72%. Going into the full report, around a quarter self-define as either "anti-Zionist" or "non-Zionist", and among those aged 20-29, the proportion of self-identified Zionists falls to 57%. And this is all based on research from 2022, so not showing the results of the last few months at all. Obviously there is still a lot of attachment to Israel among a lot of people, but a position held by about a quarter of Jews is not the tiny fringe thing they're trying to portray it as. Obviously preaching to the choir here, but still feels worth saying.Just read this in Middle East Eye
