Activists promote 'Palestine poppy' ahead of Remembrance Day
Original: Pro-Gaza activists sell ‘Palestine poppy’ before Remembrance Day
Pro-Gaza activists are selling a so-called 'Palestine poppy' in the days before Remembrance Day, when Britons traditionally wear the red poppy to honour war dead. The move has drawn criticism for being seen as co-opting a national symbol of remembrance, while supporters frame it as a gesture of solidarity with Palestinians amid the Gaza conflict.
Why now: It touches the sensitively timed clash between a British national symbol and the Israel-Gaza conflict just before Remembrance Day.
