Over 1,000 councillors sign Palestine solidarity pledge amid claims of 'political opportunism' They signed up to "uphold the inalienable rights of the Palestinian people" and ensure their council is not complicit in what they claim are "Israel's violations of international law".

I wonder how many Croydon Councillors has signed this? #Croydon news.sky.com/story/over-1...
