Protesters in Manchester

EMERGENCY rallies were held today in London and Manchester to demand the government hold Israel to account for the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians in East Jerusalem.
Hundreds gathered outside Downing Street in central London, waving Palestinian flags and placards reading “save al-Aqsa,” and “we can’t breathe since 1948.”
The protests are in solidarity with Palestinian families in the occupied East Jerusalem neighbourhood of Sheikh Jarrah who face imminent eviction from their homes to make way for illegal settlers following an Israeli court order last weekend.
