Allow peaceful protests and support for Palestine with flags and chants.

Rejected 12 signatures

What the petition asks

To allow the same freedoms individuals’ have to show their support for Ukraine, Israel, LGBTQ+ and All Lives Matter etc. with Palestine. To allow the freedom of speech, the right to protest and the right of freedom of expression. To stop discrimination against anyone who shows support for Palestine.

There is clear bias and discrimination towards those who show their support of Palestinian human rights in comparison to those who support any other human rights causes and violations. If the government seeks to sanction those who support Palestine, they must do the same for other groups. It cannot be one rule for certain supporters and not for others. Those who impose these sanctions must be held to account for impeaching the freedom of speech, expression and to protest.
