Palestine Solidarity Campaign

Three years of genocide also starts on October 7th, which tells you everything, because Israel's ground invasion of Gaza didn't even begin until October 27th, 2023.

But in London, the Palestine Solidarity Campaign called the police at 12.50pm on October 7th, 2023, to book a march while Hamas terrorists were still inside Israeli homes.

In Sydney, a rally was called that same evening, and two days later, crowds at the Opera House were celebrating.

The only thing that had happened by then was the massacre itself.

Right.

And he's the former chair of the Palestinian Solidarity Campaign, and grew, and grew up in Ramallah in the West Bank.

Oh, right.

So somebody, somebody who knows a lot about, uh, a lot about, uh, uh, a lot about the situation.

Yeah.

And just across from there we've got the Palestine Solidarity Campaign next to Rewilding Britain and if we just-

Doing some good business that stand, I think it's fair to say

...

Because I insisted that Julian Assange didn't rape anybody, that Julian Assange was being framed, that Julian Assange was innocent, at a time when the liberals and Trotskyites in the leadership of the anti-war movement were demanding that Julian Assange be extradited to Sweden to face the fake charges that everybody now knows had been levelled against him.

I don't know if there are any other reasons, but the leaders of the Stop the War Coalition, the communist president, Andrew Murray, and the Trotskyite secretary and organizer who, along with her small group of Trotskyites, maintain complete and dominant control over the Stop the War Coalition and the Palestine Solidarity Campaign, they basically blackballed me.

So I haven't spoken at a Stop the War rally for more than 10 years.

And now they've apparently all gone green, these people, which would make my involvement with them impossible now in any case.

The, the first, the first application to the police To register for a protest in the streets against Israel after October the 7th happened on October the 7th, uh, while, while the invasion was still going on, while the terrorists were still slaughtering in Israel, before we even knew the full scope of, of the death and destruction, uh, before it was under control, certainly.

And yet the, the PSC, the Palestine Solidarity Campaign, it was reported here, put in their application around midday that day.

So that just makes you think.

There is a whole machine in place ready to go.

As you're going around the conference, because you're reporting as well, are you hearing anyone talk about the protest or talk about Palestine action?

I'm hearing it on stands such as Medical Aid for Palestinians and the Palestine Solidarity Campaign is there.

I'm hearing people who are, you know, fairly close with the Burnham administration say that, you know, this is a real sea change from the government in terms of the ban on trade with illegal settlements and the direction that Andy Burnham wants to take and saying that, you know, while this is the first step, it's not enough.

And I don't think anybody likes to see footage of grannies being nicked by the cops and being carried and dragged away.

I doubt this is about as much of a pain to them for their best interest as it is for the grander fundamental issue of what's going on in Palestine.

And another message I think that came from a lot of people that I spoke to, particularly a woman, Liz Butler, who's a member of the Palestine Solidarity Campaign in Kildare, that, you know, this is sports washing and this is a vehicle being used by the Israeli government to gloss over what's going on in Gaza and in the occupied territories and that we can't allow or normalize what's going on in the Middle East through playing Israel in the sporting arena.

We would be absolutely ashamed of the Irish team if they play people who maybe have been the IDF, who've killed children in Gaza and Palestine, and now they're out sports washing themselves.

on the world stage.

Surely you get that.

Well, the evidence supplied to me here on the Camden Pension Fund's records, which comes via the Palestine Solidarity Campaign's LGPS divestment site, shows that £273,444 is invested in Palantir.

one of a larger collection of investments in Camden Council's pensions fund that campaigners say are linked to Israel's military operations and alleged human rights abuses.

Now, Palantir certainly isn't the biggest company on the list.

There's a lot to talk about.

And it's interesting because we started last week's show talking about kind of Black-Palestinian solidarity.

And now we have an example of, I guess you would say, rap solidarity.

Palestinian solidarity.

I'll quit right now if you won't.

I'll quit.
