Members of Swindon Palestine Solidarity made themselves heard at the Labour Party fundraising dinner, where Jess Phillips MP was the guest of honour, protesting at the stance taken by the party on the ongoing slaughter in Gaza.….
Protesters waved Palestinian flags and chanted that Labour should be ashamed of themselves for not standing up against the genocide in Gaza.
Rob Gray said, “it’s unbelievable that the Labour Party who are supposed to be in opposition, have colluded with the Conservatives to thwart a ceasefire in Gaza. Over 30,000 people have been killed by the state of Israel, over 10,000 children. People are dying of starvation in Gaza and our local Labour Party are gorging a three course meal at £35 a head. What on earth are they thinking? We urge people to join our local marches and the national marches in London when they can. This is truly a matter of life or death for our Palestinian brothers and sisters.”
A couple of people entering the event stopped to talk with the protesters with varying views on the situation in Gaza. Some conversations became very heated.
Swindon Palestine Solidarity states they will continue to protest until there is a permanent ceasefire and Palestine is free from occupation.
