JVL Introduction
Ben Jamal, director of the Palestine Solidarity Campaign, is given a platform by the Guardian to defend the right to protest.
In it he answers those who would delegitimise expressions of solidarity and demonise marchers as hatemongers and extremists.
He points out that the marches have been overwhelmingly peaceful, “with proportionally fewer arrests than at Glastonbury music festival”.
“And every march has included a bloc of Jewish protesters, sometimes several thousand strong – a fact that has rarely been reported in the media.”

We’ve been calling for peace in Palestine – these sinister Tory proposals would silence us
Instead of seeking to demonise protesters for justice, the government should be putting pressure on Israel

Can someone clarify when we should be hearing from the ICJ, I thought Israel had been given a month to comply with the order
As a regular supporter of PSC and a regular marcher in London, Newcastle and Leeds I can testify to and support everything that Ben Jamal has written here.

I heard Israel’s report to the UCJ would be copied to South Africa but not published more widely. I hope I’m mistaken.
South Africa has just presented to the UCJ a request for immediate action on calling for a ceasefire because facts on the ground show Palestinians are starving to death. The application mentions the deaths of at least 15 children who’ve already starved to death.
This is an important breakthrough. The Guardian’s record on Palestine has been lamentable.
