Palestine solidarity activist Shabbir Lakha speaks at Counterfire’s London meeting on the Israeli assault on Gaza

Before you go

The ongoing genocide in Gaza, Starmer’s austerity and the danger of a resurgent far right demonstrate the urgent need for socialist organisation and ideas. Counterfire has been central to the Palestine revolt and we are committed to building mass, united movements of resistance. Become a member today and join the fightback.
