Hi, this is a protest outside Louise Haig's constituency office in Sheffield by Palestine Action.
00:08
You want to tell me why you're here today?
00:10
Yeah, I'm here to demand an immediate ceasefire now.
00:14
Louise Haig hasn't said anything, which is obvious because that's in her role.
00:19
However, I think this is a moment to stand outside your role.
00:23
The UK needs to stop arming Israel. I think we need to halt Elbit's actions.
00:29
And the occupation needs to end now.
00:32
It's been genocide for many years, like 50 years,
00:37
and now the tension has got enough that the whole world's looking at it and we need to change.
00:43
And we need to stop supporting genocide and the arms.
00:47
So you think Louise Haig needs to say something about what she did?
00:50
Yeah, yeah, I think she needs to stand up outside her role.
00:53
I think it's not enough to be constrained by the restrictions in government.
00:59
We've been functioning the same way for years and years and years and we've inherited...
01:05
[Horn honks]
01:07
Yeah, yeah, we've inherited these deeply problematic ways of approaching international issues.
01:14
And when everyone was protesting against the Iraq war,
01:18
people are still hurt from the fact that our country didn't respond, our government didn't respond.
01:23
There's Rishi Sunak standing up and claiming that all Jews are in support of Israel, which isn't true.
01:30
It's anti-Semitic. It's problematic.
01:34
So yeah, we're standing up against that.
01:37
It's obviously a genocide because there's so many Palestinians that are unarmed,
01:44
that are struggling with money, that have been pushed out of their homes for years.
01:50
And this has inherited, like so many of the Palestinians, our children.
01:55
And I refuse to sit at home while children are getting aimlessly killed.
02:02
[Chanting] Free Palestine! Stop the genocide!
