Palestine Solidarity campaigners gathered outside Wembley stadium in London today (Sat 08/09/2007) where the Israeli national football team where playing England in a Euro 2008 qualifier.
300 demonstrators voiced their anger at a State, that they believe actively promotes apartheid and ethnic cleansing of Palestinians, being allowed to play here. Meanwhile, it is alleged, the Palestinian national team is forced to stay at home due to Israel’s refusal to let them play abroad.
The protest was called by the Boycott Israeli Goods Campaign in conjunction with Jews for Boycotting Israeli Goods (J-BIG). The Boycott Israeli Goods campaign is responding to calls from Palestinian and Israeli campaigners for a boycott of apartheid Israel.
The demonstration was peaceful. One person was arrested for obstruction.
