We were invited to the Action Village at @rosendalgardenparty to make our and Palestine’s presence known to remind the visitors of what is going on in Gaza and the West Bank 🇵🇸.

We were suddenly attacked by a malicious man, throwing drinks at us. He then proceeded to verbally assault and physically harm one of our comrades.
The man ripped the bracelet with a motif of the Gaza strip in the attack.

Who is this violent culprit? Attacking his fellow citizens for using their constitutional right to express their opinions – in an area where they were specifically INVITED to do so!

Being political is not a cute stamp accessorising a cultural event – being political comes with risks and it needs to be understood and respected as such!
Why was there no designated security around our INVITED presence? Allowing what has just occurred!
