Hundreds of Palestine Solidarity members from branches across Britain packed into London’s Conway Hall last weekend for their annual general meeting to decide on the direction of their movement for Palestine. We will never stop protesting, lobbying, boycotting & campaigning until Palestine is free.

Meanwhile in Scotland other campaigners are demanding that Scotland’s regulatory body revoke the charitable status of the Jewish National Fund (JNF) – highlighting the organisation’s
role in land dispossession, support for settlement expansion, and the ongoing displacement of
Palestinians, and pointing to the precedent set in Canada, where authorities recently revoked
JNF’s charitable status over concerns about its activities.

Two weeks ago activists from across Scotland marched to the Office of the Scottish Charity
Regulator (OSCR) in Dundee to demand action against the JNF – the oldest fund-raising organisation in the world supporting Israel, dedicated to, among other things, what is described as “land reclamation”.
