On 2nd January around 30-40 protestors turned out for a noisy picket of the Newcastle branch of Marks and Spencer, calling for a boycott of M&S over their support for Israel, the boycott of all Israeli goods and an end to all British support for Israel. The picket was called by Fight Racism Fight Imperialism/Revolutionary Communist Group.
Police attended the demonstration but with the exception of harassing people behind the stall over whether they were accepting donations, kept a low profile.
Protestors will be turning out in force tomorrow for a rally at Grey's Monument from 12-2pm, called by local Palestinians and supported by Newcastle Palestine Solidarity Campaign, Fight Racism Fight Imperialism, Tyne and Wear Stop the War Coalition, University Friends of Palestine and others.
A meeting is being held on Tuesday 6th January at 7pm at the Culture Cafe (above Get Stuffed Takeaway opposite the Civic Centre, Mary's Place), to discuss the situation in Palestine and what next steps we can take to build the movement in Newcastle further. The meeting is being hosted by FRFI, but is open to all groups and individuals.
End the onslaught on Gaza!
End British collusion with the blockade of Gaza!
Boycott Israeli goods!
Boycott Marks and Spencer!
Self-determination for the Palestinian people!
