”We are going to be here as long as it takes to bring about peace and justice. We will never walk away from the people of Palestine.”
Corbyn, known for his long-standing support for Palestinian rights, has consistently spoken out against Israel’s actions. As a Member of Parliament since 1983, he has advocated for a united Ireland and Palestinian statehood.
His activism has included involvement with Anti-Fascist Action, the Anti-Apartheid Movement, and the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament.
The protest reflects growing concerns about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and the role of international powers in perpetuating it. Corbyn’s demand for the US to stop arming Israel echoes sentiments shared by many who seek a peaceful resolution. By marching to the US Embassy, Corbyn and fellow protesters aimed to pressure the US government to reassess its policies.
