While Israel is building concentration camps in Gaza, The Guardian still can’t bring itself to call what’s happening in Palestine a genocide.

Stop the War Coalition
@STWukSep 25
Following up June's International Anti-War Conference we've organised a tour of regional rallies, featuring some key speakers from the international movement. We'll be demanding that the govt drops its commitment to increase arms spending, and popularising the call for #WelfareNotWarfare to build for action against militarism on the international days of action – 30 October, 20 November and 21 November.

Stop the War Scotland has taken the decision to cancel our demonstration in order to fully support the GGEC mobilisation in Edinburgh on the 10th. At this critical moment, three years into genocide in Gaza, it is vital that the movement is united in greater strength and numbers.

Ed Milliband's statement is a vindication of the Palestine Solidarity movement. Despite three years of attacks on our movement, this govt has found our pressure impossible to ignore. But this must be a floor not a ceiling. All out in Glasgow on 10th of October 🇵🇸 ✊️

State of Palestine
@Palestine_UNAug 20
After two years of denial, fabrication, and propoganda, Israel admitted that it killed 5 years-old Palestinian girl Hind Rajab. On CNN with @jimsciutto, Ambassador Mansour reiterated that: “Israeli investigations are not independent or credible leading to almost no convictions… the record is clear and this one will not be different…in the case of Hind Rajab, the evidence is clear and the names of those who committed the crime are known…an independent international investigation or international court must investigate.”

Edinburgh last weekend: you couldn’t hold a placard supporting Palestine Action, but you could display an Ulster Defence Association banner. The UDA is a proscribed terrorist organisation responsible for hundreds of killings. This is what two-tier policing actually looks like.
