British Palestinians feel ‘gaslit’ and unable to speak out, says leading activist

Sara Husseini, director of the British Palestinian Committee, states that British Palestinians feel gaslit and unable to speak openly about Israel’s war on Gaza amid a hostile UK climate where many face silencing or punishment for displaying Palestinian symbols or discussing the conflict. Ahead of London’s Nakba march marking the 78th anniversary of the 1948 Palestinian displacement, she highlights widespread public solidarity while rejecting claims that pro-Palestine protests are "hate marches" and criticizes the UK government’s complicity in Israeli war crimes.
