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

just realized that europe uses palestinian( i prefer to call them jordanese or lebanese because most of them are they just claim to palestinian--thay are arab from the arab nation so they change there nationality to meet political agendas) Europe and obviously ireland uses cheap labor from these countries so they are getting a lot of pressure from the large arab communities in your countries ( I live in the US we get cheap labor mostly from all over the world not predominatly the Middle East) So this is why you people scream so much Politically Correct BS in your countries. You have been targeted by these terrorist before vso you live on nails trying to control these out of control brainwashed Muslums. I read all over the indynews abroad. We have here to in the US but here are huge Pro-Israeli end the terrorism groups here and a lot of the HUman Rights activists are Jewsish and they are concerned about the enemy the so called Palestinians. I feel much better after coming to this realization--of courcewe have the anti-government people who want to stop The US from funding other countries millitary. I am sorry that this has turned int o such a mess. What we need is alternative energy--non oil and no more cheap labor. People have to make a decent wage to live nad stop imporing cheap labor from radical countries which are know to be suicide bombers and terrorist. Stop living in fear of your neighbor in your own country. I read about Jews getting attacked and beat up even in the US. Probably by a bunch of Arabs. If you people comne near me I'll fucken kill you. LOng live Israel Get rid of the real terrorist the suicide bombers---the "Palestinians". Keep on doing what you people have been doing--obvously no one believes you even if they are humanitarians like myself but I do not support any murder who kills for the reason of killing. The Israelis kill terrorist and maybe sometimes casualities are in teh way but this is rare and a shame. Stop the terrorist. Stop Hamas stop al what ever it is called and stop the liberare palestine regime they are know terrrorist. They blow up things in Europe as well--you poeple are so scared and live in so much fear that you take the enmies side.. There is a difference in wanting to rehabilitate terrorist insead of killing them and actually supporting them. Free israeli stop hate crimes against Jews. You cant get away with your tactics in the US. Stop living in fear

We're not being intimidated. We support the Palestinians because they're under occupation, oppressed and killed.
