British Palestinians face climate of fear around identity, says senior activist

LONDON: British Palestinians are facing a climate of fear around openly speaking against Israel’s war on Gaza, the director of the British Palestinian Committee has said. Growing hostility toward Palestinian activism and identity has also led some British Palestinians to shy away from wearing Arabic jewelry and keffiyehs in public, Sara Husseini told The Guardian. She was speaking before Saturday’s national march in London to commemorate the 1948 Nakba, in which hundreds of thousands of Palestinians faced ethnic cleansing during the creation of Israel.
