One of the organisers of a rally being staged in Preston to show solidarity with the Palestinian people caught up in the conflict in Gaza says that the situation unfolding in the narrow stretch of land “should horrify anybody with an ounce of decency”.the “Preston for Palestine” event – taking place on the Flag Market on Sunday afternoon

Michael, a former Preston city councillor, says he is “not supportive of Hamas in terms of their political ideology in any shape or form”. But he condemns the ongoing Israeli action, which is so far reported to have killed over 1,500 Palestinians – and deplores the evacuation order issued on Friday telling Gazans to flee south to save their lives.

However, Preston Jewish resident Jeremy Dable said that there was “a massive moral distinction” that divided the actions of the Israeli state and Hamas. He told the LDRS that he was concerned whether the speeches at Sunday’s demonstration in Preston – organised by the city-based Children of the Ghetto group and backed by the Preston and South Ribble Stop The War Coalition and the Lancashire Association of Trade Union Councils – would include “anything positive in support of Hamas”.

Michael, who served on the city council for a decade from 2003 – first as a representative of the Socialist Alliance, then the Respect Party, the Trade Unionist and Socialist Coalition and, latterly, as an independent – said he found it “astonishing” that some people spoke of the troubles in the Middle East “as if they started last Saturday”.

Jeremy agreed that a long history did indeed provide the backdrop for the latest flare-up of violence, but said he felt a sense of “injustice and indignation” on the many occasions he has heard “facts twisted out of recognition” during discussions about the current and past Arab-Israeli conflicts – including a lack of acknowledgement of the “savage” way Jews have previously been treated in the region.
