It’s really interesting & heartening to see the number of older people in the UK coming out to support #PalestineAction
It shouldn’t be surprising though.
People who are now in their late 70s and 80s were protesting in the 1960s. They were part of CND, they protested against the Vietnam war, fought against racism and started the civil rights movement in the UK & Northern Ireland.
They’re veteran activists and see what people power can achieve.
Fair play to them 🙌
