FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda London’s protest on Sunday was organized by the Palestine Solidarity Campaign, Friends of Al-Aqsa, the British Muslim Initiative, Stop the War Coalition and the Palestinian Forum for Britain.
Carrying placards with slogans including “free Palestine,” “end ethnic cleansing in Jerusalem,” “stop Judaisation of Jerusalem,” and “end the siege on Gaza,” protesters chanted “from the river to the sea Palestine will be free.”
Palestinians refer to May 15, 1948 as the Nakba Day or catastrophe, referring to the displacement of some 700,000 Palestinians by Israeli forces, leading to their exile in neighboring countries.
Addressing the demonstration, the Ambassador for Palestine in the UK Manuel Hassassian said, “This endless occupation of a people who have been yearning for self determination and independence has been met with military action, incursion and imprisonment.”
“Today we are gathered here to tell Israel that five million Palestinians who are living in Gaza, the West Bank and East Jerusalem and in what they call Israel and the six million Palestinians who are living in the diaspora are yearning to go back. The right of return is a sacred right for the Palestinians and the Nakba will never stop until we go back,” Hassassian added.
Meanwhile, the Chair of the Palestine Solidarity Campaign Hugh Lanning condemned the situation of Palestinians as “being encircled, imprisoned, colonized, driven off their land,” and called for a ban on the Olympics security company G4S because it provides services to Israeli prisons.
