Over 300 people marched through Exeter on Saturday, in support of the people of Palestine.

Over 300 people marched through Exeter on Saturday, in support of the people of Palestine.

The march began with 200 people, but we attracted more as we moved through the High Street in Exeter. We had asked Ben Bradshaw MP to either attend, or make a comment, but he was somehow unavailable. The 300 who attended, all signed a petition, urging Ben Bradshaw to act & ensure that the government do everything possible to make Israel withdraw & cease any further action.

We now have a meeting arranged with Ben Bradshaw & will be discussing this with him.

The rally, which consisted of Palestinan, Acedemic & medical staff, who worked in the West Bank, who all addressed the crowd.

We followed the rally, by having a stall outside M&S, raising the issue of Boycotting Israeli goods.

We all want peace.

Solidarity
