Housing Justice for All! Free Palestine!

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!

Genocide in Gaza -#emergency# -online meeting Wed 8 November

From Newham to Palestine
One struggle! One Fight

Unspeakable violence is being meted out against the Palestinian people already under siege, in Gaza, by the settler state of Israel, with an ongoing barrage of lies from our media and the complicity of all our politicians who are arming and funding Israel.

Join the meeting on zoom at 7.30pm on Wednesday 8 November. Speakers are Focus E15 campaigners with special guests, Milly from Palestine Action and Louis Brehony, Palestine Activist, author and musician.

For ten years Focus E15 has campaigned for housing justice in Newham, against social cleansing, for the use of empty homes and against the demolition of council housing. We have also challenged the Newham Labour council for its broken promises and families left in appalling unsuitable living conditions.

We will not stand by as our Palestinian brothers and sisters are murdered and their homes demolished. We will not tolerate the Labour Party complicity in this war.

The number of Palestinian children killed since 7 October is more than the number of children killed in armed conflict over the last three years in twenty countries across the world.
One third of hospitals in Gaza are now not functioning as a result of direct bombing or no fuel.

War crimes are being committed. Senior members are resigning from bodies such as the United Nations, the Labour Party is haemorrhaging members and councillors.

Labour MPs who support the Palestinians are being suspended by leader Keir Starmer (former human rights lawyer who supports Israel cutting off water, electricity and food to the Palestinians in Gaza).

We will also be discussing the work of Palestine Action and urge you to join the #elbiteight campaign. Palestine Action are brave activists who put their liberty on the line to disrupt the production of Israeli weapons in Britain. Their trial is at Snaresbrook Court between 13 November and 22 December and we will be there in solidarity.

Come and hear how we can all campaign for Palestine. The online meeting starts at 7.30pm on Wednesday 8 November on zoom: https://us06web.zoom.us/j/88508119236… .
