SUMMARY:How the British state weaponises Jews for its racist pro-Israel agenda
DESCRIPTION:Les Levidow\, Jewish Network for Palestine (JNP)\nThu 29 May 7pm\nCCA 350 Sauchiehall St\, Glasgow G2 3JD\nLong before the current Gaza genocide began in October 2023\, British state repression deployed the falsehood that all Jews are Zionists to intimidate pro-Palestine politics through the criminal law\, e.g. as hate speech. \nIn recent months it has banned Saturday protests anywhere near synagogue services (especially near the BBC’s London HQ) and threatened criminal penalties against any defiance. Now a draft Bill would authorise the Home Office to ban protest near any ‘place of worship’\, in a context where such objections have come mainly from pro-Israel spokespersons for synagogues. This agenda helps to protect many agents of the state’s racist\, genocidal agenda against the Palestinians. \nHow can we best fight this threat? \nLes’ brief April speech here with Dr Swee Ang\,

SUMMARY:ABERDEEN: Join us on Saturday 24th May
DESCRIPTION:In response to a planned meeting of “The Great British Strike” a Reform-backed alt-right mashup\, there will be a community event on Broad Street\, Aberdeen on Saturday 24 May at 11am\, called by Aberdeen Anti-Fascist Alliance. \nSPSC is encouraging all our members to join this event. The fight against the rise of the far right in the UK aligns with our fight for the rights of the people of Palestine\, and especially Gaza. \nWe want to support this action. We will take our flags and banners to ensure that the people of Gaza and the West Bank will not be forgotten. \nWe would also ask you to bring flowers\, ribbons etc to redo the memorial outside Marischal College to the children massacred in Gaza in a genocide that continues even today\, not just with bombings that wipe out entire families but also with starvation as an act of war. Aberdeen City Council keep removing the memorial but we will not forget the children of Gaza. \nThe misery continues as Israel still prevents sufficient food aid entering Gaza\, even as the UN warns that thousands of children could die of malnutrition in the next few days. Despite this\, our UK Labour Government continues to supply arms and military support to Israel. \nThis is a way to keep up the pressure for BDS and to ensure the people of Palestine are never forgotten.\nPlease come along and share far and wide. \n#FreePalestine

SUMMARY:Urgent Demo - Fascists off our Streets - Edinburgh
DESCRIPTION:A coalition of far right groups calling themselves The Great British National Strike have organised a “national day of action” – this Saturday 24th May. Gatherings around the UK are trying to build on Starmer’s recent dog whistle racism to cause division in our communities. \nThey seem to think that Scotland is a suitable place to promote their poison\, with 12noon gatherings planned in Glasgow\, Aberdeen\, Dundee\, Edinburgh and Inverness. \nA strong response in all these cities is needed to protect our communities and challenge the active support and cowardly silence that allows the Israeli genocide. \nThis week the UN stated that 14000 Palestinian children could die imminently due to Israel’s ongoing siege on Gaza\, as they continue to withhold baby formula\, food\, medicines\, and other life saving essentials that are prevented from reaching the starving Palestinians of Gaza.\nIsrael’s free reign to commit genocide and ethnic cleansing of Palestinians has for decades been made possible through Islamophobic propaganda and anti-Palestinian racism\, repeated by UK politicians and mainstream media. \nGather at St Giles Cathedral\, High St\, Edinburgh from 10am on Saturday. \n‘Fascists off our Streets!\n‘Stop Arms Sales to Israel’

SUMMARY:EGGEC NAKBA Demo
DESCRIPTION:Assemble at the Foot of the Mound EH2 2EL and march to Scottish Parliament EH99 1SP \nIn May 1948\, 77 years ago\, 750\,000 Palestinians were expelled from their homes through violence and force by Israel. This was ethnic cleansing. This period is referred to as aitill\, or the Nakba\, meaning catastrophe in Arabic. On Monday\, just two days ago\, “Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Gaza’s more than two million people “will be moved” in a new ground offensive that will involve Israeli troops holding on to seized territory\, establishing a “sustained presence” in Gaza.” \n19 months of brutal murder\, 60 days of a complete blockade on every single piece of food and medicine\, and now plans announced for a Nakba of an even greater scale. What word can describe something bigger than a catastrophe? \nAnd all we get from our politicians are platitudes while they give taxpayer money to Iz-reel. Enough is enough. \nJoin us 17 May\, 2025 in Edinburgh. \nSpecial guest speakers will include Mustafa Barghouti\, Palestinian physician and politician and Neil Barnes\, who will speak on the intersections of sports and Palestine in Scotland.

SUMMARY:No One Left Behind: Mick Napier on trial
DESCRIPTION:Join us on the steps of Glasgow Sheriff Court on 7th May at 9 am \nWhat’s Happening? \nOn Wednesday\, 7th May\, two separate trials have been merged to be dealt with together in Court 13. One alleges threatening and abusive behaviour inside the Barclays branch on Argyle Street during our\nprotest against its financing of genocide. The other charge is of religious hatred and excessive noise\, eight days later (6 October) outside Kelvingrove Art Gallery. \nWhy We’re Here \n\nBarclays Trial (Argyle Street): all protestors stood facing away from branch staff at all times\,\nmaking clear our anger was directed at Barclays’ profiteering from genocide\, not at individual\nemployees. It will be difficult to sustain a charge of threatening and abusive behaviour when the\naccused turn their backs on the victim throughout!\nKelvingrove Trial: Charges of “religious hatred” stem from complaints by Glasgow Friends of\nIsrael – a group notorious for manifestations of extreme racism over a long period of time\,\nincluding calls to “euthanise” Palestinians and welcoming the 2019 White supremacist massacre\nof 51 Muslims in New Zealand mosques. Our protest was against an event organised by advocates and partners of the genocidal Israeli regime.\n\nThese absurd charges echo two decades of legal harassment\, ranging from racial hatred and assault\nallegations to being stopped for “driving too slowly”—and follow convictions for organising unauthorised\ndemonstrations\, including two Covid-regulation breach convictions the same week as drunken\nDowning Street parties. \nWhat Next? \n\n9am – 10am: Rally on the courthouse steps – hear brief speeches\, connect with fellow campaigners\,\nand show solidarity.\n10am: Head into Court 13 to show support for the accused and opposition to the wave of repression\nof those opposing Israeli genocide.\n\nWhat’s at Stake? \n\nSetting yet another dangerous precedent for criminalising protest against genocide and the use of religious aggravation charges to deter opposition to the Israeli genocide.\nPermitting “hate-speech” charges to be used against vocal opponents of Israeli government\npolicy.\nFurther threats under the Terrorism Act and fresh Barclays-related racial-hatred charges loom.\n\nHow You Can Help \n\nBe There – Your presence amplifies our message: opposing genocide is not a crime.\nSpread the Word – Share this invitation on social media and in your networks.\nDonate – Legal costs are mounting; every contribution helps us fight back.\nStay Informed – Follow updates on the website www.scottishpsc.org.uk\n\nSolidarity Now – Resistance Always \nYour support on 7 May will send a clear message: when they target one of us\, they target all of us\, and we’ll stand together\, leaving no one behind. \nJoin Us on the Steps of Glasgow Sheriff Court on Wednesday 7 May at 9:00 AM

SUMMARY:Cairde na Héireann's Easter Rising Commemoration
DESCRIPTION:“(a) loyal Jewish Ulster in a sea of potentially hostile Arabism”\n-Herbert Samuel (1st British Governor of Palestine & UK Home Secretary during 1916) \nThe Palestinian and Irish struggles for liberation from occupation are irrefutably linked\, not just ideologically but politically. Many of the key figures in the creation of the Zionist neocolonial project of Israel had also played prominent roles in the occupation and subjugation of Ireland\, such as Arthur James Balfour\, Herbert Samuel\, and Henry Hugh Tudor\, to name a few. \nThe legacy of the Easter Rising not only dominated 20th-century Ireland\, but its effects are still felt today. The British Government’s decision to employ the internment policy\, which saw thousands of Irish republicans arrested and imprisoned without trial\, set in motion a chain of events that ultimately led to the Irish War of Independence and the partition of Ireland. \nA partition which would result in a decades-long war\, the barbaric treatment of Irish political prisoners\, wrongful convictions\, the dehumanisation of Irish people and the loss of hundreds of civilian lives. All the while\, the British-backed Zionist state of Israel employed the same tactics on Palestinians. \nJoin the Scottish PSC in the Palestine Bloc on Saturday\, 26 April\, as part of Cairde na Héireann’s Easter Rising Commemoration March through Glasgow. Stay for the rally afterwards\, where we will hear from Irish activists and SPSC Co-Founder Mick Napier.
