Pro-Palestinian demonstrators chant 'Intifada revolution' and 'UK government watch your back, Palestine is coming back'

[keenforhelp]

I really do think that too many protestors have overstepped the mark now and those marching with them have not done enough to keep them peaceful and non-threatening.

and reported in the DT too:
Chants of “intifada revolution” rang out and a smoke bomb was set off at a large pro-Palestinian demonstration in central London on Saturday.

Pro-Palestinian protesters carried placards including one depicting Rishi Sunak and Sir Keir Starmer with blue horns and Israeli flags across their mouths. One held a sign saying “Anti-Semitism is a label to silence the truth and justify evil.”

The force is having to police the protest on the same weekend as four Premier League football fixtures in the capital, two Wembley play-off finals and a demonstration at the Eritrean Embassy.

Awww...they're just so peaceful and full of humanity aren't they? I wish I was as wonderfully moral as them.

Useful idiots.
I hope something is done.

Salman Rushdie was spot on about the protestors in his recent interview. He has been a long standing supporter of a Palestinian state and like any normal person is horrified by the suffering in Gaza.

But he acknowledges that a Palestinian state right now would be run by Hamas and he can’t understand why the protestors seem to be agitating for this.

If Labour has any plans to concede to this intifada- I as a lifelong voter WILL defect. And I never thought I'd say that.

In Cardiff today a very noisy Free Palestine protest. A lady shoved a leaflet in my face as I walked past wanting to talk about freeing Palestine.

Chants of 'From the river to the sea Palestine will be free' and the leader with the loudspeaker shouting 'whatever it takes to free Palestine we will do it', 'stop the bombing ', 'stop the killing', 'standing with Palestine '.

I've seen peaceful groups standing with flags but today it felt intimidating. Extremely noisy shouting, drums, and a procession chanting and giving leaflets as they went.

There is a ceasefire, hostages and prisoners being released, this didn't feel appropriate in my opinion.

He's a sensible man with well thought out views, imo.

They didn't chant this at today's protest but it felt inappropriate what they were shouting. Perhaps pause the protests whilst the ceasefire holds?

London last Saturday.

Just in case anyone doesn't know the inverted red triangle its a symbol hamas uses to identify Israeli targets.

A friend of mine's synagogue in London had a red triangle stuck on its entrance gate just two weeks ago. In London.

Thats awful. Do the police investigate?

'Invade an Islamic land'

'Deproscribe Hamas '

Clear support for a terrorist organisation. No attempt to pretend they are supporting the innocent Palestinian people but Hamas.

Are these people not arrested? I stupidly thought supporting terrorists organisations was not good form or potentially illegal 🤔

I wasn't aware. Out and proud for all to see. Some don't even pretend anymore.

Yes, I'm glad to say the police are quite responsive in these situations. The marches are another matter.

Looking at the march in Cardiff today there was no police during the walk past me. There were horses and a couple of police further away but didn't appear to be to do with the march.

Its incredible what is tolerated on these marches. Clear unequivocal illegality. And we are told on this board again & again how all people care about is peace & the poor Palestinians all these supposedly good people seem imcredibly good at turning a blind eye & closing their ears.

@VolcanoJapan as that's the case on here as well I am not shocked it's in the public domain.

@SharonEllis

They seem to have got more intimidating since the ceasefire. So ' ceasefire now' is not what they want now? It's almost as if they are annoyed that they might have to do something else with their Saturday afternoons.

I have always been surprised the police do not make more arrests at these intimidating takeovers of our streets every weekend. It's two tier policing. If you support Just Stop Oil or these annoying Palestinian marches where they often have Hamas symbols and slogans nothing happens to you. If an individual does a tweet it's called hate speech and the person is put in prison.

It did feel like they had ramped up the message to a more conflict based one than when I'd walked past the marches previously. The lead shouter was saying 'free Palestinian from the river to the sea 'whatever it takes we will do'. It was quite intimidating with the drums and shoving leaflets into my face.

Of the ceasefire hold a the 'peace' marches will more likely show their true colours. Without a need to demand a ceasefire the protest is going to more likely pivot towards revenge. and highlight Palestinian demands for more territory. The true Hamas supporters are now coming to light.

The useful idiots will probably stop going along soon, they probably did believe these marches were about a ceasefire.

That will leave the hard-core terrorist sympathisers, rabid extremeists and jew haters. Which judging by the signs and behaviour at some of the bigger marches, is not an insignificant amount.

I believe the marches are about to become quite... illuminating.

I hadn't thought about it like that. Let's hope thd police shut down any obvious terrorist supporter or incitement to any take of action.
