Palestine Solidarity Campaign

The Palestine Solidarity Campaign (PSC) is a UK-based organization advocating for Palestinian rights and protesting Israeli policies. They are currently newsworthy due to increased activism and scrutiny surrounding pro-Palestinian movements. Recent events include their involvement in a march on the US embassy in London, protesting US and Israeli strikes on Iran, alongside groups like CND and Stop The War. Furthermore, the PSC launched a campaign encouraging UK councillors to sign a pledge supporting Palestinians, aiming to pressure local authorities to divest from Israeli weapons manufacturers; over 1,000 councillors have signed the pledge ahead of local elections. The organization's activities and the response to them, including concerns about politicized policing of pro-Palestinian protests, highlight the ongoing debate and activism surrounding the Israeli-Palestinian conflict in the UK.
