This law is an affront to decency, fairness and the rule of law. Discriminating against Palestinians contravenes Israel's obligations under international law. UK must call for the Israeli Government to revoke this discriminatory and inhumane legislation.

Please help stop this corruption spreading by signing this petition.

This is truly terrifying, like the Nazis we are simply erasing people from existence, and it is happening without anyone questioning it.
Not every issue in our politics needs to be shirts and skins. Republicans don’t need to automatically be against everything Democrats stand for. We could decide together that no president should ever arrest a political opponent for free speech.
OBAMA: “People make excuses for him. They say he’s not serious. Everything a president says is serious!”🔥

On the day Israeli air strikes killed 32 Palestinians, at least 600,000 of us marched for Palestine in London.
Proud to march for my friends living in occupation and hardship while world leaders turn their backs.
