Israel is not hiding the fact that they are committing Genocide
A letter to the Sheffield Star in reply to Rev Dr Alan Billings I can forgive Dr Alan Billings for spelling my name wrong, but I find it unacceptable that a Police and Crime Commissioner can have such a relaxed attitude to the genocide of over 12000 people. To talk of “degrading” when he meansContinueContinue reading “Israel is not hiding the fact that they are committing Genocide”
Ceasefire Now! We demand Sheffield MP’s vote for a ceasefire.
Today I joined with the Sheffield Coalition against Israeli Apartheid in a march from Louise Haigh MP’s office in Meesbrook to Paul Blomfield’s office on Edmund Road. https://youtu.be/EHRuXZqJMkE We handed in letters at both offices with a request to the staff to contact the MP’s before the vote.

Israel is a terror state
A letter to the Sheffield Star Cyril Olsen doesn’t believe Israel is a terrorist state (Star 11/11/23) and justifies this because they have a democracy. Being a democracy does not entitle Israel to carry out war crimes. I am currently watching Al Jezera (the BBC is consistently failing to report the full horrors of theContinueContinue reading “Israel is a terror state”
Sheffield demands a Ceasefire on Armistice Day.

News of continued atrocities in Palestine, especially the targeting of the al-Shifa Hospital, led to a sombre but determined mood. This song, led by the Tadhamon Singers, Socialist ChoirContinueContinue reading “Sheffield demands a Ceasefire on Armistice Day.”

Palestine Protest at BBC Radio Sheffield
On Friday October 27th members of Sheffield Palestine Solidarity Campaign protested outside Radio Sheffield to complain about the lack of coverage of recent protests in Sheffield and the abysmal reporting of the national BBC which refuses to call out Israel for the War Crimes they are committing, and often reports as if the conflict wasContinueContinue reading “Palestine Protest at BBC Radio Sheffield”

The Gaza Strip is a little bigger than Barnsley but has a population equivalent to the whole of West Yorkshire.
Cyril Olsen claims I am not telling the whole truth about the genocide in Palestine because I didn’t include a history lesson in my letter. There is a limit to what you can write in 300 words! I won’t have room to reply to all his points so I will concentrate on one, which isContinueContinue reading “The Gaza Strip is a little bigger than Barnsley but has a population equivalent to the whole of West Yorkshire.”
