On Saturday 7 June Focus E15 campaign is joining the Housing Bloc on the People’s
Assembly national demonstration, with a clear message Welfare not Warfare.
Join us!
Since our inception, Focus E15 has sought to draw international links between the struggle
for land and housing in London/Britain and struggles abroad.
Nowhere is this more significant than in the struggle against settler colonialism and Zionism
in Palestine, which has seen Israel’s ongoing genocidal campaign destroy or damage 92% of
homes in the Gaza strip (UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs, January
2025), as well as bomb hospitals, schools, universities and deliberately murder journalists,
paramedics, doctors, nurses, teachers, target civilians and, since 2 March, block all aid
entering Gaza, including food, water, fuel, in flagrant violation of international humanitarian
law.
Israeli occupation forces have also increased their repression in the West Bank, where over
40,000 people were displaced from their homes in the first two months of 2025 alone, while
house demolitions continue.
As a housing campaign based in Britain—the country responsible for the British Mandate in
Palestine and the establishment of a Jewish homeland in Palestine— we recognise that the
political system that keeps families in Britain in slum housing is the same system that is
funding and arming the genocide against the Palestinian people in Gaza, through continued
financial, military, and political support for the Israeli state. The same shameless capitalist
and imperialist Labour Party we’ve opposed locally in Newham has revealed its true face in
government.
We cannot fight for housing justice in Britain in isolation, we are internationalists, who fight
racism at home and abroad.
We will continue to raise the Palestinian flag as we have done over the last 12 years. We
encourage all housing campaigners to do so as well.
Together we are stronger.
Victory to the resistance in Palestine – let’s Educate! Agitate! Organise! here in Britain!
