London, MINA – Director of Middle East Monitor (MEMO) in UK, Dr. Daud Abdullah said solidarity or support for Palestine grew from various circles of society in European countries.

MEMO is an organization based in London, England, focuses heavily on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, as well as writing on other issues in the Middle East.

“The once unconditional support afforded to Israel no longer exits. At the same time, solidarity for the Palestinian cause growing in all walks of life: trade unions, civil society and academia,”said Dr. Daud when being a speaker at an international webinar organized by the Aqsa Working Group (AWG) with the theme “Building Universal Cooperation in the Liberation of Al Aqsa and Palestine”, on Saturday, online from London, England.

Previously, there had always been a tendency not to view Israel as a settler colonial entity, but as a European outpost in civilization and democracy.

However, continued Dr. Daud, Israel by its racist policies, disregard for international standards of conduct, and human rights have gradually turned European public opinion against it.

“Palestine is no longer seen as a cause of the Palestinian people, Arabs or Muslims. It has, indeed, become the great moral and political issue of our time,”he said.

According to Dr. Daud, these changes are also due to the hard work of the Palestinian community, communities throughout Europe, one of which is the struggle of Raed Salah in Scotland.

“Currently, support for Palestine in Scotland is among the highest,” he said.
