EMERGENCY PROTEST: join us today (Tuesday 29th July) outside Downing Street, 1pm [PSC]

[IlonaM]

'Keir Starmer has recalled the cabinet from their summer holiday to discuss the urgent situation in Gaza. Strong words are not enough. Join [PSC] today at 1pm outside Downing Street to bang pots and pans and say: Stop starving Gaza. Stop arming Israel.

...

We will be outside Downing Street today from 1pm, banging pots and pans to symbolise the famine Israel is deliberately inflicting on Palestinians, and to protest against Keir Starmer and his government’s complicity in genocide.

Join us if you can at 1pm, and bring a pot to bang. Make sure Keir Starmer and his cabinet hear us loud and clear.'

Hopefully, he’s going to make a decision on recognising Palestine and the two state solution. I imagine they’ve got good soundproofing.

How about feeding those here at home first, rather than dealing with overseas humanitarian crisis.

Well that really is not Christian Spirit at all - we all live in this world and yes, totally agree that it would be wonderful to have no conflict in the world but that is not possible.

Yes we have people in need of food  in this country but overall enough charities and organisation in the west to help.

We are talking about thousands of people who are starving - not just going hungry - a huge difference would you not agree ?

Aid can’t reach people - for whatever conflict and don’t think people dropping parcels, boxes etc from planes would be the answer either.

Stop foreign aid spend and re-direct those funds to improve the lives of UK citizens. 

People shouldn't have to rely on charities and food banks, their is enough food wasted in this country already which could be re-directed. 

Let their own Govts feed them, why does the UK have to do it, how about other nations contributing. 

Well if aid can't reach them, how are they supposed to be fed if as you say food parcels being dropped from planes doesn't work. 

Lets sort out this country first and put UK citizens first for a change.

Gosh, calm down..

How about not getting so heated, and not eat for 24 hours with sips of water?

Try it and you may, just may understand, starvation, no water.

No meds at all even if you need them - hasten to add, don’t do it at all if you are medically dependent.

In fact, why doesn’t ED - do this for half a day - say in Oct, when everyone has come back from enjoying their, hols, new term starting and as a community, we could all be 1.?

Before, November, fireworks, etc.
