THE TELEGRAPH: Protesters were accused of glorifying the October 7 terrorist attack on Israel with placards depicting a Hamas bulldozer crashing through a security fence.
Demonstrators at a rally in central London also laid out pretend bloodied corpses signifying babies killed in airstrikes - but refused to accept that Israeli babies had been killed by Hamas terrorists in the massacre that sparked the month-long conflict.
On a day that marked yet more protests in London and in major cities around the UK, campaigners warned that the capital was becoming a “no-go zone” for Jews. They complained that police - despite promises to get tough - had watched on as crowds chanted antisemitic “genocidal” slogans and distributed “terrorist-supporting” pamphlets.
Scotland Yard said more than 1,300 officers were on duty for the rally at which “the vast majority” of people “demonstrated peacefully”.
Karen Findlay, Commander for the Metropolitan Police, said “It is disappointing that various splinter groups were again responsible for behaviour which has no place in London and we are determined to deal with this robustly”. » | Jamie Bullen; Robert Mendrick, Chief Reporter and Michael Murphy | Sunday, November 5, 2023
