After a hiatus of two years, the petition to get Hamas removed from the Proscribed list of the UK Government is being relaunched.
This is because it is becoming clear that as long as Hamas exists, Gaza will be bombed- and possibly completely depopulated. Because Hamas are deemed terrorists, the UK arms Israel to bomb Gaza. We need to put much more pressure on the Government to recognise Hamas.
The petition text has been updated; see it at www.tiny.cc/hamas There are presently 1,510 signatures; the first tranche of 1,410 were delivered to Downing Street in January 2024. When the next batch of 1,500 are added, there will be another delivery to Downing Street, and so on. This petition now supports the Riverways Law de-proscription bid of 2025 (see it at https://hamascase.com/ )
The re-launch was promoted at this talk by the petitioner in London on 30th May 2026- see it at www.tiny.cc/hamastalk
The second aim is to get petitioners to write to their MPs to seek their support. It is clear that it will take a great deal of pressure and publicity to persuade the Government.
To this end, it is worth noting that Britain’s Muslim police body defends Hamas and labels the IDF as a ‘terrorist group’ : see https://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/world/britain-s-muslim-police-body-defends-hamas-and-labels-idf-terrorist-group/ar-AA250EPH
Furthermore, more than a quarter of British undergraduates consider the Hamas attacks of October 7 to be “defensible”, according to a new survey by the Higher Education Policy Institute.

It is clear that the tide is turning.
