They discuss efforts in the UK to build a mass mobilisation of support to stop Britain’s involvement and participation in Israel’s ongoing genocide in Gaza and assess the effectiveness of the tactics used across the movement, from boycotts and marches to permanent occupations and direct action.

But given Britain’s continued support for Israel, from refusing to implement a full arms embargo to continuing to send RAF spy flights over Gaza from the British base at RAF Akrotiri in Cyprus, Ahmed questions whether efforts have indeed been enough.

They also deep dive into the attempts of the British state to restrict and repress the Palestine solidarity movement and the democratic right to protest in Britain and also discuss the roots of Zionism and whether calling for Zionism to be dismantled is an effective framing and approach for supporting Palestinian rights today.
