🚨 𝗧𝗵𝗿𝗲𝗲 𝘆𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗴𝗲𝗻𝗼𝗰𝗶𝗱𝗲 — 𝗡𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗗𝗲𝗺𝗼𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗣𝗮𝗹𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗲

Three years into Israel’s genocide in Gaza, Palestinians continue to face killing, displacement and starvation.

The ‘ceasefire’ has not ended Palestinian suffering. In Gaza, the devastation continues. Across the occupied West Bank, including East Jerusalem, settlement expansion, settler violence and attacks on the sanctity and status of Masjid Al-Aqsa continue to escalate.

Britain cannot continue to arm Israel, offer military and intelligence support and allow trade with illegal settlements while turning a blind eye to the genocide of Palestinians.

On 10 October, join us in London to demand an end to British complicity and justice and freedom for the Palestinian people.

📍 Victoria Embankment, London

Three years on, we will not be silent.

An investigation by ITV News has revealed an alleged UAE-funded operation targeting British activist Anas Altikriti.

British authorities knew Anas was at risk. He was warned by police that his life could be in danger but was not told the nature or source of the threat.

What did the Government know? When did it know? What action was taken to disrupt the operation? And why was Anas not told what he was facing?

A foreign-backed operation targeting a British citizen on British soil demands more than silence. It demands answers and accountability.

A question the West has been avoiding. A conversation that doesn’t shy away from the truth.

One of his last podcast conversations. Professor Esposito sadly passed away after this recording took place, making it an immense honour for us to share this conversation with you.

An unfiltered discussion on Islamophobia, Muslim identity, belonging, and the future of Muslims in the West.

Protest at Elbit

Leicester is home to a factory producing parts for drones used by Israel against Palestinians.

Join us as we take a stand outside Leicester’s Elbit drone factory and demand an end to UK complicity in Israel’s war crimes.

The UK must stop enabling the machinery of war and destruction that has devastated lives across Gaza.

Israel cannot investigate itself and call that justice.

More than two years after five-year-old Hind Rajab was killed in Gaza, Israel has admitted its soldiers fired on the car she was trapped in and announced a criminal investigation.

But previous Israeli investigations have repeatedly failed to deliver meaningful accountability.

Hind’s family deserves justice not a sham inquiry while Israel continues the killings.

🚨National March for Palestine

Join FOA as we march to the Labour Party Conference in Liverpool to demand Andy Burnham take urgent action by sanctioning Israel and immediately stopping arm sales.

An apology is not a policy. Action is.

Andy Burnham has 100 days to show that his apology over Labour’s failure on Gaza means more than words.

Ismail Patel’s new article sets out three decisions that would demonstrate whether this government is serious about international law and human rights:

- Ending trade with illegal settlements
- Imposing a full arms embargo on Israel,
- Reversing the proscription of Palestine Action.

Three years. Over 73,000 Palestinians killed. Around 2 million forcibly displaced. Yet the UK continues to arm and support Israel.

The US is once again scrambling to revive a Gaza plan that Israel has already rejected while Israeli attacks continue and more than 73,000 Palestinians have been killed since October 2023.

This cannot be a peace process where Palestinians continue to pay the price while Israel dictates the conditions.
