Just prior to the opening of the TUC Congress, a very large anti-war demonstration took place on September 7 in central London, organised by Palestine Solidarity Campaign (PSC) and supported by Stop the War in response to continued Israeli-Zionist aggression against the Palestinians who are undergoing genocide and have become virtual prisoners of the Zionist entity. The demonstration began from Pall Mall around 12:00 noon and marched to the Israeli Embassy.

A number of speakers from the anti-war movement, Palestinian activists and different spokespersons of political groups took the platform in support of Palestine, against the genocide, Israeli war crimes, and Britain's support for Israel both militarily and politically. In particular, the Labour leader Keir Starmer was condemned for supporting the bombing of Palestine and refusing a ceasefire.

Speakers pointed out that the aggression is taking place with the full support of US imperialism and its European allies. Britain is also playing a leading role by supplying weapons to Israel under the guise of Israeli "self-defence".

The rally was concluded around 4.30 pm with the call to continue the demonstrations until Palestine is free and peace restored!

The next demonstration is taking place in Liverpool today, September 21, to the Labour Party conference, with the slogan: End the Genocide in Gaza - Stop Arming Israel.

A major national demonstration takes place on Saturday, October 5, in London, gathering at 12 noon in Russell Square and marching to Whitehall. The slogan is: One Year On - End the Genocide in Gaza - Stop Arming Israel.
