Little Social don't break the cultural boycott
Mayfair, London. Sat 14 Oct 2017
Several people including one holding an Israeli flag were waiting
outside the Little Social reatuarant when the
protesters arrived to put up banners - including this one showing
how Palestine has almost all been taken away
from the Palestinians who have been denied the right to return to
their homes.
The protest was also watched by employees across the road in the related
restuarant
Police arrived and talked with the protesters who assured them they
would do nothing illegal
and they continued getting out flags and banners
a few more arrived to put on a counter-protest. One assured me that
everything the people protesting in support
of Palestine said and had on their banners was lies, and tried to
justify all of Israel's actions, including the attacks
on Gaza. He tried to talk to the protesters but they told him they
were not interested in hearing his lies.
I told him how my friend had been attacked and how settlers stole
the olives from the farm - and that Israel's attacks on
Gaza were entirely disproportionate to the rocket attacks on Israel
which he said provoked and claimed justified them,
and that Israel should respect the United Nations resolutions. He
continued to blame the Palestinians for everything.
