Anti-War Assembly



On Sunday September 29, around 20 people attended an Anti-war assembly which was held in Newcastle spanning two sessions.  Session 1.  Stop the genocide! Stop arming Israel! and session 2. No escalation of war! No to Islamophobia!   Introducing the discussion in the first session was Alex Snowdon, NEU Northern and Jason Hussein Vice Chair, Newcastle Palestine Solidarity Campaign.  Introducing the discussion in the second session was Roger Nettleship Newcastle Stop the War, Mohammad Asif Glasgow Stop the War, and Sweta Choudhury Stop the War Coaltion.  The meeting was chaired by both Tony Dowling and Dave McCallister.

With Israel's British government supported genocidal war in Gaza and now their war spreading into Lebanon and with the war in Ukraine being escalated by the Anglo-US led NATO alliance against Russia. The anti-war assembly concentrated on the anti-war movement in renewing and rebuilding the discussion and involvement in anti-war activities in the north east.  Whilst the Assembly reaffirmed ongoing actions in standing with Palestine and Lebanon it also discussed the necessity to further work to oppose the dangerous escalation of  war in Ukraine that Britain is playing a leading role in alongside the US.  We reproduce audio of speeches below. One is notes as it was mistakenly not recorded.

Session 1: Alex Snowdon    Jason Hussein
Session 2: Roger Nettleship   Mohammad Asif    Sweta Choudury
