| Schools, refugee camps, and a busy market have all this week been considered legitimate targets for Israel’s unrelenting war machine. Palestinians are facing bombardment from the air, shooting from the sea, and shelling on the ground with images of burned and decapitated children becoming a regular occurrence on our social media feeds. In the face of such unrelenting brutality, we cannot afford to allow our voices to be quietened. Join us on Saturday 7th September at 12PM in Central London as we march once again to call for action to bring pressure to secure an immediate and permanent ceasefire, including a ban on all arms sales to Israel. |

TRAVELLING FROM CAMBRIDGE
A number of us are planning to take the 10.44 a.m. train from Cambridge Station to Kings Cross. We will be carrying our special Cambridge flag for recognition, look out for us on the platform, we will display on arrival at KX as well.
The Royal Academy of Arts have disgracefully removed artworks by young artists challenging Israel’s genocidal violence against the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip.
We cannot let the Royal Academy get away with shielding the state of Israel from accountability for its war crimes. Their actions help to cover up Israel’s ongoing atrocities and serve to dehumanise Palestinian people and erase their history and experiences.
Write to the Chief Executive of the Royal Academy today to tell them you are outraged by this censorship!

The ICJ has declared that Israel’s ongoing presence in Palestinian territory is illegal and must cease as quickly as feasible.Nawaf Salam, who serves as president of the ICJ in The Hague, announced the nonbinding advisory opinion given by the 15-judge panel on Israel’s occupation of Palestinian territory last Friday.
The judges cited various policies, such as the growth of Israeli settlements in the West Bank and East Jerusalem, exploitation of natural resources, annexation of land, and discriminatory actions against Palestinians, as breaches of international law.The court ruled that Israel does not have the authority over the territories, is breaching international laws on capturing land through force, and is obstructing the self-governance of Palestinians.
It was stated that other countries must not help Israel maintain its presence in the territory. According to a summary read out by Salam, Israel was instructed to halt settlement construction promptly and dismantle existing settlements.The court stated that Israel’s misuse of its position as the occupying power makes its presence in the occupied Palestinian territory illegal.
The court declared that Israeli settlements in the West Bank and East Jerusalem, along with the system linked to them, have been created and are being upheld against international law.The United Nations General Assembly requested the court’s opinion in 2022.The ICJ, also referred to as the World Court, serves as the top UN authority for resolving conflicts among nations.

Write to your local councillors and ask them to stand with the Palestinian people….
Demand your councillors support motions calling for an immediate and permanent ceasefire to end Israel’s assault. As well as advocate for the immediate divestment of any funds administered by the Council, including Local Government Pension Scheme funds, from companies complicit in Israel’s attacks, such as arms companies supplying Israel with weapons and military technology.
