A NEW Palestine support group that was established on the very day that the horrific attack took place at a Manchester synagogue, resulting in two deaths, has condemned the violence.

Forest of Dean Palestine Solidarity says it aims to “campaign for justice and peace, celebrate the culture of the Palestinian people, fundraise and express our solidarity in dark times”.

Elected chair, Charlotte Morris, said of the Manchester attack: “Those who do such things are no friends of the Palestinian people.

“We established this group to stop the slaughter and genocide that is going on in Gaza.

“Racism and violence against Jews or Palestinians must be condemned wherever and whenever it takes place and we loudly do so. We need peace.”
