“In an act of solidarity with the Palestinian people I am calling on Derry City and Strabane District Council to light up the Council Offices and the Guildhall in the Palestinian colours.

“This city has a very proud tradition of standing up for the oppressed, with the age of social media and online newspapers this small act would reach the people of Gaza. And show that we do care and show our solidarity with them.”
