Pro-Palestine Demonstrators Build £3 Million Fighting Fund to Spend Fuelling Marches
Pro-Palestinian march organisers have pulled in £3 million thanks to sales of keffiyahs, flags and Middle Eastern trinkets. The Telegraphhas the story.
Last year the Palestinian Solidarity Campaign (PSC) swelled its coffers by more than a million pounds with a large portion coming from merchandising on its website.
The group, which has been accused of bringing chaos to the streets with mass demonstrations, has vowed to use the money to hold more marches.
The most popular items being sold to sympathisers include checked cotton Bedouin scarves, which have become a powerful symbol of Palestinian identity and the red, white green and black tricolour flag.
Other items for sale include clothing, posters, olive oil, key rings and candlestick holders.
The group is also currently selling Palestinian dates with supporters urged to buy them during Ramadan in order to help with a boycott of Israeli fruit.

The PSC, which has organised more than 30 national pro-Palestine marches since the October 7th terror attacks, now has more than 17,000 members each paying up to £30 a year.
For an annual fee members are promised they will “receive information about events in Palestine and in the UK”.
The organisation has also enjoyed considerable financial support from donors around the world.
Details of the huge reservoir of funds were revealed at the political campaign group’s annual general meeting earlier this month, where leaders outlined plans for further mass demonstrations. …
The PSC currently spends around £1 million a year on salaries and another £850,000 on campaigning and organising.

I thought the main fighting had finished in Gaza? Unless Islam, or the IRGC, decide to make Israel feel safe then the IDF will remain there until Israel can guarantee their own safety. What a shame – the Muslims in Gaza had the place to themselves when Israel withdrew all of its citizens in 2005 and Israel withdrew on teh basis that their Islamic neighbours wanted peace and their own place.
Gaza is just a front for Islam in general and they have murderous intent.
Some people are enjoying some tidy salaries out of this which means that even if there was peace tomorrow they are not going to cease operations, to borrow a military term.

Someone is making a lot of money in the manufacture and sale of all the keffiyehs I see these days.
I wouldn’t be seen dead wearing one, I suspect that the target market is self-limiting and from my point of view I will have no interaction with anyone who wears one.
About all I can do is to refuse to put my money in the hands of the deranged supporters of the Gazans and other terrorists.

We can agree with their right to hold protests, but only if they meet the bill for the police.
Once an Empire but now a sorry little country that has imported all of the worlds sectarian clutter and we are all “racists” if we dare mention that wasn’t a good idea.

The way of all “causes”. Money, money, money – fed by the idiotic, bored middle-classe with more money than sense.
Freeze the account. Easily enough done, as Convid demonstrated.
As I suspected, all fashionistas!
