Urgent Demo - Fascists off our Streets - Edinburgh
2025-05-24 10:00 - 14:00 | St Giles Cathedral, High Street, Edinburgh, EH1 1RE, United Kingdom
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.
They seem to think that Scotland is a suitable place to promote their poison, with 12noon gatherings planned in Glasgow, Aberdeen, Dundee, Edinburgh and Inverness.
A 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.
This 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.
Israel’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.
Gather at St Giles Cathedral, High St, Edinburgh from 10am on Saturday.

ABERDEEN: Join us on Saturday 24th May
2025-05-24 11:00 - 13:00 | Marischal College, Broad Street, ABERDEEN, AB10 1AB, United Kingdom
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.
SPSC 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.
We 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.
We 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.
The 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.
This is a way to keep up the pressure for BDS and to ensure the people of Palestine are never forgotten.
Please come along and share far and wide.

How the British state weaponises Jews for its racist pro-Israel agenda
2025-05-29 19:00 - 21:00 | CCA, 350 Sauchiehall Street, Glasgow, G2 3JD, United Kingdom
Les Levidow, Jewish Network for Palestine (JNP)
Thu 29 May 7pm
CCA 350 Sauchiehall St, Glasgow G2 3JD
Long 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.
In 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.
How can we best fight this threat?

Fighting Genocide: Challenging Complicity
2025-06-03 19:00 - 20:30 | Renfield Centre, Glasgow, G2 4JP, United Kingdom
In the 1980s and early 1990s, Dr Swee Ang worked as a trauma and orthopaedics consultant in the refugee camps of Lebanon, with the United Nations in Gaza and the World Health Organisation in the Occupied West Bank.
She is the co-founder and Patron of Medical Aid for Palestinians (MAP).
It is an outrage that Dr Swee Ang, after a lifetime of selfless dedication to her NHS patients and the Palestinian people, was barred from speaking by the BMA after being smeared as ‘antisemitic’.
But we live in a time of outrage piled upon outrage, of active complicity in the genocide by political and corporate bodies, or insidious silent complicity by virtually every other elite institution in the country – police, sporting, cultural, media, educational, and others.
It is fight or flight time – we must fight back or face tragic consequences.
Registration is required – book your place here
Registration for these meetings is free, but we ask for a donation towards the SPSC No One Left Behind campaign in support of those facing criminal charges or imprisonment for opposition to genocide.

No One Left Behind: Stand in Solidarity with Mick Napier
2025-06-06 09:00 | Glasgow Sheriff Court, 1 Carlton Place, Glasgow, G5 9DA, United Kingdom
SPSC Mick Napier will appear in court this Friday, 6th June, for supposedly ‘frightening’ Barclays staff and ‘blockading’ the bank’s Glasgow Branch at a #BoycottBarclays Campaign protest. This will be conjoined with an allegedly ‘religious’ crime offence, six days earlier at Kelvingrove during a demonstration against Glasgow Friends of Genocide Israel (masquerading as the ‘Jewish Community’).
We’re calling on our members and supporters to stand in solidarity at the Glasgow Sheriff Court on Friday! At 9:00 AM, we’ll hear a few words from Australian academic Dr. Tim Anderson on the repression of those campaigning against serial aggressive wars and genocide.
Tim was convicted over the years of conspiracy to murder, plotting a bombing and was fired from Sidney University. Both convictions were overturned, and Tim was awarded compensation. His dismissal was ruled illegal.
Tim Anderson is Director of the Sydney-based Centre for Counter Hegemonic Studies. For more than 30 years, he worked at Australian universities, teaching, researching, and publishing on development, human rights and self-determination in the Asia-Pacific, Latin America and the Middle East. In the 1970s and 80s, he was framed twice on terrorist charges but later cleared and paid compensation. In 2019, he was dismissed from the University of Sydney for “offending its Israeli sponsors”.
“Compared to that, I only face low-level legal harassment, but it’s still important that there is No One Left Behind at the Sheriff Court this Friday” – Mick Napier.

'Time is killing us' - SPSC delegation report back
2025-06-10 19:00 - 20:30 | The Ark, 70 Coplaw Street, Glasgow, G42 7JG, United Kingdom
All are welcome to this public meeting organised by SPSC Glasgow.
Hear a report back from SPSC delegation members recently returned from Occupied Palestine.
While we keep our eyes on Israel’s genocide in Gaza, it is important to see the broader situation of Palestinians living under Israel’s military occupation and apartheid regime. While the Israeli government continues their brutal attack and siege on Gaza, its military works with violent settlers in the Occupied West Bank in attempts to ethnically cleanse Palestinians from their land.
Hear firsthand accounts from SPSC members from their recent visit. Part of their visit was with partners of the Stop the JNF Plant a Tree in Palestine project – one farmer told the delegation about living under occupation and rapidly encroaching settlement building on his village land; he was keen to make us understand that ‘Time is killing us’.
Find out what we can do to organise and escalate our solidarity with the Palestinian people.

Defend the Right to Protest Genocide
2025-06-16 13:30 - 15:00 | Glasgow Sheriff Court, 1 Carlton Place, Glasgow, G5 9DA, United Kingdom
NEW TIME 1.30 PM
Stand With Us on 16 June – Defend the Rght to Protest Genocide
On Monday 16 June SPSC founding member Mick Napier will appear from custody at Glasgow Sheriff Court, having been held since Friday 13 June.
On Friday morning, Police Scotland officers arrested Mick at his home for breaching bail conditions, specifically for being within the vicinity of Barclays Bank on Argyle Street in Glasgow and for approaching Sammy Stein. Stein is an ororganiser with Glasgow Friends of Israel, a racist organisation whose activists receive training from Israeli government officials to counter the success of the boycott, divestment and sanctions campaign against Israel (BDS).
Every Saturday, Stein and his friends harass the Barclays Bank protesters in Glasgow, baiting and filming protestors directly in their faces. Police Scotland has refused to intervene to prevent Stein’s aggression.
Like many other Palestinian rights activists across Scotland and beyond, Mick Napier is under charge for protesting Israeli genocide, stepping in to hold institutions and corporations to account for their complicity when our governments have failed.
This is part of a pattern of legal harassment. Mr. Stein and his associates have previously tried—and failed—multiple times to secure convictions for “racism” against those who speak out against Israel’s war crimes. Courts have repeatedly dismissed these charges. But still they return, hoping that this time they can succeed in silencing dissent.
We must not allow supporters of genocide to hide behind false accusations of racism. Mr. Stein and his group do not represent all Jewish people—many of whom, here in Scotland and around the world, stand in solidarity with Palestine.
This is about silencing protest, criminalising solidarity, and shielding war crimes from scrutiny. The Israeli military’s crimes, including documented massacres of women and children—as recently reported by a UN committee—must be exposed, not protected by false accusations of racism.
We will demonstrate on the steps of Glasgow Sheriff Court from 1.30pm on 16 June, with guest speakers calling out the lies of Glasgow Friends of Israel and the shameful collusion of Scottish politicians, Scottish prosecutors, not to mention educational, sporting, and other institutions.
After the demonstration, attend the court proceedings.
Join us. Stand up for truth. Stand up for Palestine.
