Palestinians do not want antisemites at our rallies

JVL Introduction

A powerful statement by Kamel Hawwash, Chair of the Palestine Solidarity Campaign.

It is notable for its unstinting condemnation of the international community for its failure to condemn Israel’s deadly bombardment of Gaza, its fulsome defence of the Palestinian’ right to resist occupation and all forms of discrimination in greenline Israel and elsewhere – and for distancing PSC from any attempt to blame British Jews for the actions of Israel.

Hawwash makes it abundantly clear that “Neither I nor the PSC or our partners want racists taking part in our demonstrations and rallies. More importantly, the Palestinian people do not want the support of racists who attempt to use our cause to spew their hatred of Jews.”
