At yesterday's hate march:
Over 10,000 anti-Israel protesters marched through central London on Saturday in a demonstration that featured “intifada” chants, support for Yemeni pirates and placards displaying antisemitic conspiracy theories.
One banner declared “the BBC is an arm of the Zionist propaganda machine”, while another stated: “Our media, TV, radio and government are controlled by Zionists.”…
Some demonstrators called for an immediate ceasefire to the Israel-Hamas conflict. However, outside the gates of Downing Street and near The Cenotaph, calls for intifada as the “only solution” could be heard and leaflets featuring Iranian leader Ali Khamenei were distributed.
Posters equated Zionism with Nazism and depicted UK and American leaders as Adolf Hitler. Other posters portrayed Benjamin Netanyahu and Israeli Ambassador Tzipi Hotovely as demonic.
Support for Yemen’s Houthis, who have been attacking international shipping in recent weeks, was present throughout the march….
Two Labour MPs, Apsana Begum and Zarah Sultana, spoke at the protest and a number of trade unions including the NEU, RMT and UCU were represented.
According to some sources, the Met originally said that the demonstration couldn't go down Whitehall. The organisers said we're going to, like it or not. So the Met said, oh well, OK then.
