With the Israeli regime routinely violating the so-called ceasefire in Gaza and committing atrocities against the Palestinians in the West Bank, the thousands who have descended upon Central London today say the importance of expressing solidarity couldn't be overemphasized.

There's no Ceasefire; Gaza's still in a terrible state, the West Bank is creeping into an ever and ever-worse state.

And the media aren't reporting this, the mainstream media, that's why I'm here, and the least I can do is to be here in a bit of rain when people in Gaza are drowning in their tents in rain.

Thousands protest in London on Day of Solidarity with Palestinians

Organized for the 33rd time, it's a demonstration to also call attention to Britain's ongoing 'business as usual' relations with the regime accused of genocide and with its so-called leaders wanted by the International Criminal Court for war crimes.

To see Britain and America trashing the international world order in order to support Israel as it commits terrible crimes in Gaza, it's a matter of deep shame.

Direct Action Group challenges UK government ban

On the stage opposite Downing Street, they may not mention their name, but Palestine Action, the direct action group banned under terrorist laws by the Labour government for targeting Israeli weapons manufacturing sites on UK soil, is on many people's minds.

They have managed to mute all resistance all over Europe.

And now, if you are pro-Palestinian, you are a criminal ..., it's like we're losing our democracy here.

It's very important to be here today, because this is one step towards fascism which is developing everywhere.

UK pro-Palestine prisoners threaten hunger strike

There's also sympathy for six of the 24 activists jailed by the British government for trying to stop those weapons destined for the Israeli regime.

And I think in any other situation, we would hear about these things.

You know, we would hear about hunger strikes if they were connected to Ukraine, maybe, or to Sudan or Congo.

There's something about Palestine, which means they don't even get their voices heard through the people who are trying to be allies with them here, because they're censored.

Palestine Action ban ‘disturbing misuse’ of UK terror law: UN rights chief

Nearly 50 years ago, the United Nations named today, the 29th of November, the International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian people, marking resolution 181 advocating for the partition of Palestine into two states.

And yet, another national demonstration terminates outside the halls of power, with the thousands who have gathered here saying they're here to assert that ordinary people in Britain refuse to be silent while their government continues to support a regime that is accused of genocide.
