A tree for Palestine in London

by New Worker correspondent


Palestine Land Day, which commemorates every Palestinian village that has been destroyed by the Zionists, falls on 30th March. Last week Londoners gathered at 2pm in north London’s Gladstone Park to plant a tree for Palestine and say a few words in support of the just cause of the Palestinian Arabs.
`A memorial tree-planting campaign started in 2021, to commemorate in the fullness of time each and every Palestinian village that has been vacated and either levelled by Israeli bulldozers or buried under a forest of trees. The event in 2021 was held in Acton Park in the London Borough of Ealing and was attended by several local councillors and Labour MPs.
`This year’s event in the London Borough of Brent was supported by a number of labour movement activists, including Ken Livingstone and Gerry Downing who were both driven out of the Labour Party on trumped up charges of “anti-Semitism”.
