Palestine

The Palestinian people’s struggle for justice is a defining global justice issue of our time.

For over 70 years, the Palestinian people have been subjected to occupation, systematic human rights abuses and deadly military force – along with apartheid, and now genocide in the Gaza Strip – by Israel, a powerful military state armed and supported by the UK and US. We have stood in solidarity with the Palestinian people for decades, campaigning for an end to UK complicity in Israel’s human rights abuses – including an end to the UK-Israel arms trade.
