Al-Nakba 2010 - We Will Not Forget - London Protest


Photo report, inminds
16 May 2010

15 May marks the anniversary of Al-Nakba - the 1948 expulsion of Palestinians from their land by Zionist colonists for the creation of Israel. The date was commemorated in London with a demonstration outside the Prime Ministers residence in Downing Street.




The man in the background holds a placard which reads "Nakba 2010 We will not forget" recalling the catastrophic loss of Palestine over 60 years ago, and all the slaughter, destruction of over 500 Palestinian towns and villages, and ethnic cleansing that went with it to force over 700,000 Palestinian people to flee from their homes resulting in the largest ongoing refugee crisis in the world. The woman in the foreground holds a postcard with the words "Remember Gaza 2009", recalling the slaughter inflected on the Palestinians just recently in January 2009 when Gaza was pulverized by the Israeli air-force, army, and navy.

But the Palestinians are more than just memories, they are a people, a nation that deserves to live, to take its place in dignity amongst the other nations of the world. The question that begs answer, is when will the world act on these memories to bring justice to the Palestinians, to 'Free Palestine' as the placard she holds in her other hand reads. Will our generation realise this goal or will we be asking our children to also not forget?




Nakba 2010 - We will not forget

Downing Street, visible through the placards is sealed of by a high fence. Protesters are forced to stay in their pen on the other side of the street, well away from the Prime Minister's abode at 10 Downing Street.



Protesters demand 'End the Siege on Gaza', 'Free Palestine'

"Hands of Al-Aqsa"



Delegation to hand protest letter to 10 Downing Street, includes leaders from PSC, Stop the War Coalition, and the British Muslim Initiative, Baroness Jenny Tong, Alexi Sayle and Lauren Booth.



Alexi Sayle, comedian and writer,
reads out the letter to be presented to the new Prime Minister and his Lib-Dem coalition partner, reminding them of the pre-election promises of the Lib-Dems including an arms embargo on Israel.



The Nakba Key was presented to 10 Downing Street with the letter.
The key symbolises the house keys many Palestinians, who were ethnically cleansed from their homes in 1948, still hold on to, passing it on from generation to generation, as a symbol of resilience and determination for their right of return to their homes.

During the holy month of Ramadan, as we move towards the Eid, I was going around Muslim shops in Tower Hamlets and elsewhere telling them that although they had collection boxes for the Mosque, although they had religious imagery in their shops, although they were selling dates to the faithful people to break their fast - the dates were made in Israel! They were stained with the blood of the Palestinian people! And Muslim shop keepers were selling them!
