A great rally on the City Hall Steps on Saturday yesterday, 9th December.
Over 100 people there – including many different faces and many students. The banner – which read ‘Trump: Jerusalem is not yours to give away‘ made a great focus and made it really clear to all why we were there.
Amongst those holding the banner were a man from Syria, a man from Algeria, a young Yemeni woman, a British Jew, a Palestinian, two students – Sheffield’s humanity in action.
There were some excellent speeches from students, from a representative from Labour Friends of Palestine Pearn,who has just returned from her first visit to Palestine, and a beautiful song by a Yemeni teenager were highlights .
So the clear thing here is, just like Palestine itself was not Britain to give away, so Jerusalem is not Trump’s to dispose of.
On Saturday we held a protest against Trump’s support for Israeli land theft. It was a good turnout given the very short notice. We need ordinary people to weave opposition to Israeli Apartheid into their everyday lives. We organise meals, protests and meetings. Join us and find out how you can help.
On Wednesday 18th October about 100 people came to the Appeal Launch of the Healing Centre Project Khuza at Sheffield Town Hall. Thanks to The Lord Mayor Anne Murphy, Angela Martin for the film Small Park big Run, the Socialist choir, and for the groups that raised the huge amount of money, especially Yemeni women, who have made this launch possible.
It was a stimulating and inspiring talk. The lively discussions went on till the building had to be closed. The meeting was supported by Kairos and Palestine Solidarity Campaign.
The Israelis want to celebrate Britain giving away someone else’s land. We want to demand justice for the Palestinians. Telephone 07415251055 for ticket. 8 am Paternoster Row Saturday 4th November
