The Scottish government must defend our hard-won right to protest. The First Minister must speak out against the political attacks on peaceful demonstrations, legitimate demonstrations.

Israeli Minister, Amichai Chikli, has openly praised as “beautiful” the racist demo in London. Why is that racist entities in the UK find kindred spirits in the most brutal apartheid regime in the world?

Sickening. Starmer has nothing to say when I confront him about the Israeli companies parading "battle-tested" weapons at the #DSEI2025 Arms Fair in London - in other words, weapons that have been used to kill men, women and children in Gaza #StopDSEI

The Met have made many false claims and attempts to smear the protesters. This is a desperate deflection after Sir Mark Rowley pledged the Met would arrest every person who held a sign saying “I oppose genocide. I support Palestine Action”

Which the Met factually did not do.

The majority of the population of the UK are against Israel carrying out a genocide in Gaza but Zionists want us to think it’s same as antisemitism. It won’t work, the cat is out of the bag, the true nature of Israel has been exposed to the general public
