Home Bargains Day of Action: Hamilton
2025-08-25 19:47 | Hamilton Retail Park, Hamilton, ML3 0BZ, United Kingdom
On Saturday, 30th August, Scottish PSC branches nationwide will once again take action against variety store chain Home Bargains, to oppose their continued stocking of products originating from apartheid Israel. The campaign is getting momentum, as comrades in Belfast, Sheffield, Halifax, York and beyond are all working hard to ensure the retailer ceases all trading with the genocidal state.
Home Bargains sells an overwhelming number of Israeli-made wet wipes, cleaning products and skin care products – products made in illegal Israeli settlements, using an unsustainable amount of water, stolen from Palestinians in the West Bank and controlled by the Israeli military.
Skin care products sold in Home Bargains, such as the “Dead Sea Collection”, also exploit natural resources from the Dead Sea region – a region Palestinians are not even allowed to enter.
JOIN US!
The Lanarkshire Branch is taking part in the day of action at Home Bargains stores across the city, from 12:00 PM, Saturday, 30th August:
Hamilton West Retail Park, ML3 0BZ
While you’re here, sign and share our letter to Home Bargains’ CEO, Tom Morris, demanding that he stop complicity in the Israeli apartheid and genocide.
View all participant cities: Aberdeen, Dundee, Galashiels, Hamilton, Edinburgh, Perth

Resistance in Rural Scotland
2025-08-30 11:00 - 15:00 | Three Villages Hall, Shore Road, Arrochar, G837AB, United Kingdom
Activism looks different in rural areas.
There are unique contexts, challenges and logistics to consider.

Have you felt isolated in your support for the rights of Palestinian people?

We want to hear about it!
As the UK government and Police Scotland increase their suppression of our rights to protest, we need to be informed and united in our resistance.

Hear from SPSC members who have recently visited occupied Palestine and will share important messages from the people they met there
Join a workshop from the Scottish Community and Activists Legal Project to ensure that you Know Your Rights

Palestine 1936
2025-11-12 19:00 - 20:30 | Webinar, Webinar, United Kingdom
PALESTINE 1936: The murderous role of British “heroes” in crushing the Palestinian struggle
After the British crushed the Palestinian revolt, Montgomery said he was “sorry to leave Palestine…I have enjoyed the war out here.” The British deployed to Palestine methods and personnel from Ireland, where Montgomery had served in what he called “a murder campaign in which…[British] soldiers became very skilful…My own view is that to win a war of that sort, you must be ruthless.”

DEMO: SFA/Barclays
2025-12-14 13:00 - 17:00 | Hampden Park, Letherby Drive, Glasgow, G42 9BA, United Kingdom
The SFA sanctions Russian teams but puts out the red carpet for teams from genocide Israel. In the same spirit of turning a blind eye to genocide, the SFA has now hocked the name of Scotland’s national stadium to genocide bank, Barclays.
Help us on Sunday to leaflet the fans to build opposition to this reward for a genocide profiteer.

Settler colonialism and genocide: Palestine in context
2026-01-31 10:00 - 17:00 | Augustine Church, George IV Bridge, Edinburgh, EH1 1EL, United Kingdom
Keir Starmer and other UK Government ministers deny that Israel’s mass killing in Gaza meets the legal threshold for genocide – or even that there is a serious risk of genocide. This denial enables the UK to continue selling weapons to Israel and allows the RAF to carry out over 500 surveillance flights over Gaza during the genocide peak, directly assisting the killing below.
The International Association of Genocide Scholars (IAGS) disagrees with Starmer and Lammy. In December 2023, the IAGS issued a statement declaring that Israel’s actions in Gaza constitute the crime of genocide.
AGS represents the world’s leading academic experts on genocide and mass atrocity crimes. It based its conclusion on intent, scale of killing, destruction of civilian life, and statements by Israeli officials. This is the clearest and most authoritative use of the term “genocide” by an international scholarly body.
The Scottish Palestine Solidarity Campaign has been campaigning against Israeli genocide long before October 2023. The Scottish Government recently acknowledged the Israeli genocide, following the findings of the UN Independent International Commission of Inquiry. As part of that campaigning work, you are invited to a full-day public event on Saturday, 31 January, featuring outstanding speakers.
SPACES ARE LIMITED – REGISTRATION REQUIRED
