As well as upholding the values of humanity and respect for international law, everyone who goes on these marches is potentially a direct, personal and convincing challenge to the skewed dominant narrative presented by so much of the UK’s media.
The marchers have family, friends and casual acquaintances who who love and respect them and know they’re marching in the cold and rain, at a time of the year that’s hectic with much more enjoyable activities.
It’s very easy for those contacts to have brief, informal chats with the marchers they know, about any topic that interests them – and to get answers they don’t hear from TV coverage.
I haven’t seen this (from AP 9 Dec 2023) covered in our own media, even though the witness is British and the investigation unit the Met Police:-
“BEIRUT (AP) — A British Palestinian surgeon who spent weeks in the Gaza Strip during the current Israel-Hamas war as part of a Doctors Without Borders medical team said he has given testimony to a British war crimes investigation unit… Abu Sitta crossed from Egypt into Gaza on Oct. 9, two days after the war began and remained in the besieged enclave for 43 days.
… He said that when he returned to the UK, he was asked by the war crimes unit at the Metropolitan Police to give evidence in a possible war crimes investigation, and did so. The police had issued a call for people returning from Israel or the Palestinian territories who “have witnessed or been a victim of terrorism, war crimes or crimes against humanity” to come forward.
Abu Sitta said much of his testimony related to attacks on health facilities. …
He was working in al-Ahli hospital in northern Gaza on Oct. 17 when a deadly blast struck the hospital’s courtyard … Israeli authorities, along with U.S. and French intelligence agencies, have said the explosion was caused by a misfired Palestinian rocket. … Abu Sitta said many of the injuries he saw were more consistent with damage caused by an Israeli Hellfire missile”.
