Members of Swindon Palestine Solidarity made themselves heard at a Labour Party fundraising dinner held in Swindon on Friday, protesting at the stance taken by the party on the ongoing slaughter in Gaza.
Labour MP Jess Phillips came as a guest of South Swindon Labour to the fundraising dinner held at the Pattern Church in Penzance Drive.
Protester Rob Gray said: "It’s unbelievable that the Labour Party who are supposed to be in opposition, have colluded with the Conservatives to thwart a ceasefire in Gaza.
"Over 30,000 people have been killed by the state of Israel, over 10,000 children. People are dying of starvation in Gaza and our local Labour Party are guzzling a three course meal at £35 a head. What on earth are they thinking?
"We urge people to join our local marches and the national marches in London when they can. This is truly a matter of life or death for our Palestinian brothers and sisters."
Swindon Palestine Solidarity said that they will continue to protest until there is a permanent ceasefire and Palestine is free from occupation.
