Festial-goers of all ages loved the virtual reality tour of masjid al-Aqsa linking to FOA’s #HandsOffAlAqsa campaign, as well as free foosball to raise awareness of #BoycottPUMA, who sponsor football teams in illegal Israeli settlements.
As summer approaches, people were given #BoycottCocaCola branded water bottles to remind them to boycott the fizzy drink for operating on stolen Palestinian land. They were also reminded to always #CheckTheLabel to avoid buying produce like potatoes, peppers, oranges and avocadoes from the apartheid state of Israel.
The support for Palestine in Birmingham was incredible, with many people re-committing their efforts to the movement for a free Palestine, said FOA.
