Free Palestine

Live ReportFree Palestine boycott of Marks and

Spencer on Oxford Street, 6 to 8 pm, 6th November

Why Free Palestine?

For us it was the most interesting – especially regarding the Israel-Gaza conflict earlier this year.

Been in the news recently – topical

Our Research beforehand

Who organises the boycott. Why they boycott M&S. What/who the Intifada is. What the bigger issue is - regarding

illegal settlements. What Britain’s role is in the conflict. Historically, what the conflict between

Palestine and Israel is.
