Scottish Palestine Solidarity Campaign

Home Bargains Day of Action: Scottish Borders
2025-08-30 11:00 (Europe/London) | Home Bargains Galashiels, Stirling Street, Galashiels, TD1 1BY, 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.

Edinburgh Barclays Protest
2025-08-30 10:30 - 12:30, 2025-08-23 10:30 - 12:30, 2025-08-16 10:30 - 12:30 | Barclays Bank Edinburgh, 10-15 Princes St, Edinburgh, EH2 2AN
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 bi-weekly (Wed & Sat) demonstrations at Barclays Bank on Princes Street (next to Apple store).

Scottish National Demonstration: End Gaza's Hunger Games
2025-08-16 12:30 - 14:30 | Glasgow Green, McLennan Arch, Saltmarket, Glasgow, G1 5JZ, United Kingdom
JOIN US FOR THE NATIONAL DEMONSTRATION on Saturday 16 August
Gather at the McLennan Arch, Glasgow Green at 12.30, march to city centre at 13.00.
MASS BOMBING, DESTRUCTION, DISPLACEMENT, SHOOTING AND STARVATION.

DEMAND MASS SANCTIONS NOW TO STOP THE EXTERMINATION OF GAZA.

The horror genocide continues. Having mass-bombed the Palestinians and their infrastructure, we now see the systematic
starvation of a desperate, displaced population.

Skeletal babies are dying in front of the world’s eyes, deprived of the most basic nutrition.

Doctors and aid workers are collapsing from hunger and exhaustion, unable to help the injured and save lives.

Like scenes from a ‘hunger games’ movie, people approaching the regime’s death trap ‘aid’ facilities are being shot as they scramble for a paltry bag of flour.

The whole dystopian spectacle is being watched by the regime’s Western patrons, refusing to impose economic sanctions and an arms embargo. Starmer, Lammy and their cohorts belong in The Hague for their direct part in the apocalypse.

Please show your concerns by marching with empty pots and ‘aid for Gaza’ bags as symbolic statements on the wilful starvation of the Palestinian people.

Aberdeen Demo: No Justice, No Peace!
2025-08-11 12:00 - 14:00 | Aberdeen Art Gallery, Schoolhill, ABERDEEN, AB10 1FQ, United Kingdom
No justice, no peace: accountability for Israel’s crimes now!

We gather to mourn the dead of Gaza, and raise our voices against the crimes ongoing across the occupied Palestinian territories. The ‘ceasefire’ has not brought peace and it certainly has not brought accountability for the atrocities committed by the Israeli state and its supporters. We raise our voices against the colonialist and imperialist projects of Israel and its allies, including our own Scottish and UK governments.

Join us this Saturday outside Aberdeen Art Gallery, 12-2pm.
