Palestine Pete says 'No to Apartheid'

The protest was organised by London BDS with many local solidarity groups and students making important contributions.

'Palestine Pete' outside the Natural History Museum

The creativity of the Palestinian rights activists contrasted greatly to the few Zionists who turned up to counter-demo, peddling old hasbra about Hamas and something about the Holocaust whilst totally ignoring the the occupation and Israels genocidal siege of Gaza. Many passers-bys had had enough of their lies, and whilst taking our leaflets, simply refused to take theirs even when forcefully shoved in their faces.

As people queue to enter the museum they are receptive to our message whilst repulsed by the Israeli hasbra

Interestingly whist chatting to people as they queued to enter the museum it was evident that many were already aware of the issues and even the specifics about Veolia's complicity - a sure sign that the campaign against Veolia was succeeding in educating the public.

Join Palestine Pete at the next demo outside the Natural History Museum in two weeks, on 28th January.

Veolia must stop supporting Israel's illegal settlements

Members of Amnesty and the Communist Party of GB also showed their support and solidarity with the Palestinian cause
