Palestinian Protesters Occupy BBC Bristol’s Front Lawn

Palestinian supporters set up an ‘Occupy’ style protest camp on the lawn of the BBC in Bristol this week.

The campaign group calling itself “Bristol Friends of Gaza” occupied the front lawn in front of the BBC headquarters on Whiteladies Road, unveiling a 50ft-long banner.

The group declared they would occupy the area “until the BBC tells the real truth on Palestine”.

Pro-Palestinian protesters have been out in force this week, as the Israeli army launch a new offensive in the Gaza Strip.

On Saturday, hundreds of people marched through Bristol to highlight the cause. On Tuesday meanwhile, there were protests at City Hall at the same time as a protest against residents parking zones in the city, which was largely good-natured despite a scuffle on a tank used by the RPZ protesters to draw attention to their cause.

Last night, at least two Palestinians were killed and 200 wounded in the West Bank during protests against Israel’s campaign in Gaza.

About 10,000 protesters marched from Ramallah towards East Jerusalem, where they were met by Israeli forces.

At least 15 people died and scores were injured when a UN-run shelter came under fire in Gaza on Thursday.

More than 800 Palestinians and 35 Israelis have died since the Israel-Hamas conflict began on 8 July.
