00:00 My name is Holly and I'm here to show solidarity with the people of Palestine.
00:13 It's hard to even put it into words.
00:16 It's so shocking.
00:18 I cry every day seeing the footage of what's going on in Gaza.
00:25 You see a lot of it on social media because the media is not showing you the actual reality.
00:33 They give you a sanitised version of it, but the reality is much more horrific.
00:43 They're not just a number.
00:46 Every single one of those tens of thousands of people is a human life that's been destroyed.
00:57 It breaks my heart every single day.
00:59 I just imagine my own children.
01:03 There are children that are the same age as my own children dying.
01:08 It's a horrible death.
01:09 I'm Jenny Agricola.
01:26 My grandfather was part of the British Army in Palestine under the British mandate.
01:31 He was absolutely appalled at what happened in 1948 when there was the Nakba and all the
01:36 Palestinians were pushed out.
01:38 He lived in Jerusalem and in different parts, all over Palestine, where people lived happily
01:44 together, whether they were Muslims or Christians, Israelis, Jewish, Palestinians, everybody
01:52 from everywhere.
01:53 He was appalled at what happened with the British and they just allowed all the Palestinians
01:57 to become refugees in different parts of the world.
02:01 I find that what's happening in Gaza now absolutely horrendous and option C of the
02:08 Israeli military intelligence that want to push all Palestinians out of Israel, I find
02:15 disgraceful and annex the West Bank.
02:18 My name is Quentin.
02:23 I'm French.
02:26 I've been in the UK for the last 15 years.
02:31 I'm here today to ask for a permanent ceasefire.
02:36 I am, like so many others around me, outraged by the lack of response from the British government
02:44 to what's going on in Palestine.
02:46 So it's my fifth march, I believe, and I'm asking for a ceasefire, permanent ceasefire.
02:53 I want the UN to force something on Israel so the war stops.
03:11 Palestine must be free.
03:33 Palestine will be free.
03:59 Palestine will be free.
04:27 Palestine will be free.
04:37 Palestine will be free.
04:47 Palestine will be free.
05:15 Palestine will be free.
05:31 Palestine will be free.
05:46 Thank you.
05:47 Thank you.
05:48 Thank you.
05:49 Thank you.
