If organisers of the “Great Israeli Real Estate Event” get their way, stolen Palestinian land will be traded on British soil this Sunday.
The event takes places annually in cities across the US and Canada, and has in recent years been coming to London, in an attempt to establish the capital as a regular feature of the expo. Despite keeping the London event under wraps in recent years, the secret is now out - and we’re taking action to stop it.
We know that we can cancel the event, because it has been cancelled elsewhere: in 2024, organisers pulled out of Brooklyn amid widespread protest. This battle can be won, and we know how to win it.
This week, the Palestinian Youth Movement launched the Stop Stolen Land Sales campaign, bringing together more than 100 organisations in condemning the event and calling on the British government to cancel it.
We understand this event as the continuation of more than a century of Zionist expansionism and dispossession of Palestinians, and we call on Britons to recognise and reverse the active role that Britain has historically played in supporting the worst extremes of Zionism, at great cost to our people.
