Solidarity with Gaza - end support for Israel

London. Sat 19 May 2018



 People met outside the Barclays Bank on Tottenham Court Rd, where the RCG had set up their street stall

 'Boycott Israel' poster showing Ahed Tamimi slapping an Israeli soldier

 

 'Victory to the Intifada - Fight Racism! Fight Imperialism!'

 

 An umbrella in the colours of the Palestinian flag and the message 'Palestine Will Be Free'

 

 There were some speeches to explain why the protest was taking place - and why Barclays had been chosen

 for their support of Israel.
     
 Another poster called for and end to British Arms Sales to Israel.

 A poster with the Barclays eagle and the message 'Largest Global Arms Trade Investor'

 

 

 People posed outside Barclays for a group photo with the banner 'Zionism is Racism - Free Palestine' at its centre

 

 

 

 

 

 

 And then moved on to protest outside other stores which are important supporters of Israel

 Next was Boots, just a few doors down. A speaker explained that they sell beauty products made in Israel

 

 'From everywhere We will Return to Palestine' shows people holding the keys to the family homes they were forced

 from when Israel was founded 70 years ago.

 The rolling picket moved on

 

 It stopped outside Carphone Warehouse, another which sells goods that support Israel

 

 

 Protesters in the doorway of Carphone Warehouse

 

 In Oxford St, the first stop was outside Zara

 where again a short speech explained how Zara supports Israel

 

 

 Further along Oxford St

 the picket stopped outside H&M, another supporter of Israel

I left the rolling picket there as I had to meet friends elsewhere in London.
