Thousands show support for Palestine at Birmingham’s Halal Food Festival

Birmingham (QNN)- Thousands of individuals showed their support and solidarity for Palestine this weekend at the renowned Halal Food Festival in Birmingham, UK.

The London-based Friends of Al-Aqsa (FOA) had a key presence at the event, with a hub to educate the 20,000+ attendees about Israel’s illegal occupation and apartheid in Palestine.

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.
