The Israeli factories which make Dead Sea Products, Pure Baby and various other wet wipes, skin care & cleaning products are operating on illegally occupied land and using vast amounts of water resources which are stolen from Palestinian towns.
Home Bargains continues to stock Israeli goods despite the UN Commission findings that Israel is committing genocide against the people of Palestine. The demand to cease trading with Israel and follow UN guidelines made to the owner of Home Bargains, Tom Morris, by over 1000 customers has so far been ignored. We must increase the pressure!
What can you do now?

Protest Barclay’s complicity and profiting from genocide
Barclays is bankrolling Israel’s genocide against 2.3 million Palestinians in Gaza.
A report published in 2024 detailed Barclay’s financial ties to companies producing weapons and military technology used in Israel’s attacks on Palestinians.
In addition, Barclays has an agreement with Israel to act as a ‘primary dealer’ for its government bonds. This means it helps Israel directly to raise money to fund its genocide and apartheid against Palestinians.
The Palestinian BDS National Committee is calling on concerned people to boycott all Barclays services as well as for all financial institutions to divest from Barclays until the bank ends its grave complicity in Israel’s attacks on Palestinians,
Join us for our weekly demonstration at Barclays Bank on Argyle Street.

Film Screening: Jenin Jenin : Lochgilphead
2025-11-18 18:30 - 20:30 | MAYDS, 55a Union Street, Lochgilphead, PA318JS, United Kingdom
All welcome
Come along the Mid Argyll Youth Development Services – MAYDS – building for 6.30pm to watch the documentary film Jenin Jenin, and stay for tea and discussion after the film.

March 2002: The Israeli troops have marched into the Palestinian refugee camp of Jenin, razing the largest part of the camp to the ground and killing scores of civilians. Israel has been accused of committing war crimes, prompting the United Nations to assign an independent commission to visit the camp. But Israel has forbidden it.

Director Mohammed Bakri visits the demolished camp and interviews survivors of all ages. Jenin, Jenin is dedicated to the memory of Iyad Samudi, the film’s executive producer, who was shot and killed after the production of the film was wrapped.

Long banned by the Israeli Film Board, Mohammad Bakri’s poignant documentary remains a powerful statement on the plight of the Palestinians in their continuous quest for liberation.

Free to attend – donations welcomed, and there will be SPSC merchandise such as t-shirts, books and other wee items for sale.

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.”
