On Monday 5th December, Stop the War Coalition organised a public meeting "Don't Attack Iran" in London's Conway Hall.

The invitation explained:

With increasing hysteria over Iran’s nuclear programme, the US and the UK, along with Israel once again talk openly about launching military strikes against Iran. The official policy of the West so far has been increasingly hostile and indiscriminate sanctions. Yet several assassinations of Iranian scientists and acts of sabotage inside Iran in the past few months as well as the recent cut in diplomatic relations between Iran and the UK, may well mean that we are heading towards a catastrophic confrontation, with unimaginable consequences not just for the Middle East but for the entire world. Now is the time to step up the campaign against any attacks and to call for an end to sanctions.

Come and share your thoughts and hear the views of experts on this topic.

During the holy month of Ramadan, as we move towards the Eid, I was going around Muslim shops in Tower Hamlets and elsewhere telling them that although they had collection boxes for the Mosque, although they had religious imagery in their shops, although they were selling dates to the faithful people to break their fast - the dates were made in Israel! They were stained with the blood of the Palestinian people! And Muslim shop keepers were selling them!
