The spark of the First Intifada was lit on 8 December and set ablaze by 9 December. A pivotal moment in the struggle for freedom, born from decades of oppression and the unbreakable will of a people refusing to be erased. Learn the meaning and history of the intifada. #ThisWeekInHistory

British journalist Sami Hamdi has been detained by ICE at San Francisco Airport after speaking out against Israel’s genocide of the Palestinians. Silencing Israel's critics is an attack on free speech and democracy. We demand Hamdi's immediate release.

The first phase of a ceasefire deal is welcome, but the siege on Gaza continues. We are still far from ending Israeli occupation and apartheid. History shows Israel has broken past peace deals. We can not stay silent. Join us on Sat 11 Oct for the National Demonstration for Palestine.

We cry watching Gaza’s children die. We hear their names. We see parents carrying tiny bodies. What are we doing with that pain? 2 years of genocide. Israel kills, starves, and bombs while our government arms them. 📍 London, Sat 11 Oct, 12pm If you’ve ever cried for Gaza, you must show up.

UK recognition of Palestinian state distracts from what is right

Join us on October 11 to protest the genocide in Gaza and defend our right to protest. From unfair Crime and Policing Bill to the proscription of Palestine Action, laws have long been used to silence Palestine protests. We won't let this silence us. We won't stop until Palestine is free

FOA seeks Judicial Review after the DPP and AG refused our application to arrest Israel's President, Isaac Herzog. Both said there was not 'sufficient evidence' to arrest Herzog. This is despite clear evidence of past statements that support genocide.
