Demonstrators came out in support of Palestinians and in opposition to recent Israeli bombardments of Palestinian territories resulting in tragic civilian casualties. The protesters denounced Israeli aggression and its regime of institutionalised discrimination against the Palestinian people, amounting to apartheid. They called on the UK Government to implement sanctions against Israel, including a military embargo to cut the supply of arms, as well as imposing a ban on the import of goods from Israel’s illegal settlements.
