Movie star Sylvester Stallone will face a demonstration by Palestine supporters when he visits Sheffield in Yorkshire this month.
Stallone is on a speaking tour about his life and career and appears at Sheffield City Hall on Sunday January 25.
Sheffield Palestine Solidarity Campaign (PSC) has organised the protest.
PSC says that the star of Rocky, Rambo and The Expendables films helped raise £22 million for the Friends of the Israeli Defence Forces in the US in November last year, just three months after Israel’s attack on Gaza left 2,139 Palestinians dead including 490 children, with 110,000 Gazans still homeless.
Other Hollywood stars involved in the fundraising included Arnold Schwarzenegger, Barbra Streisand and Pamela Anderson.
Sheffield PSC will stage a candle-lit vigil outside Sheffield City Hall from 6.30pm to 7.15pm before Stallone’s appearance.
Tickets for the Stallone event cost up to £200 and photos with Stallone cost £500.
