Are pro Palestine marches in London now going to become a flash point with Unite the Kingdom marches?

[mids2019]

During the admittedly worrying unite the Kingdom March yesterday a protestor tore a Palestine flag in half to cheers from a huge crowd.

Does this mean one of the, I think inevitable, consequences of the pro Palestine mass marches is that bit has drawn a social divide in Britain where the right wing can see an obviously majority Muslim crowd supporting the cause of a foreign power?

Instead of drawing attention to the Palestine cause the mass marches seem to balance just caused a counter reaction from right wing groups seeing social divide within the UK.

We have the bizarre spectacle of pro Palestine leaders casting those right thing protesters 'facists' when Jews wills be aghast at somehow being aligned in values with the likes of Tommy Robinson.

Where is this all leading in the UK?

Don't be daft!

Britain has had a long-standing far-right problem - from Mosley’s blackshirts to the National Front, BNP, and the EDL. They didn’t need Palestine protests to "provoke" them, and they certainly don’t now.

What’s different today is that they’re drawing on US-style culture war rhetoric, which has meant that via US Christian Nationalism diehard support for Israel has somehow become one of their themes. Tommy Robinson himself has been a huge fan, and the Israeli government has been openly courting the far-right for quite some time.

Naturally, that doesn't make anyone align all Jews per se with the far right any more than - however much Israel's supporters try to push the line - being Palestinian or pro-Palestinian aligns you with Islamism.

Most sensible people realise that that the far-right are a threat to all minorities, Jews included. That's why we push back - whether they're called Robinson, Musk, or Smotrich.

Glad to hear you find them "admittedly concerning" though. Personally I also find it quite concerning when drug addled foreign billionaires call to overthrow the British government in the name of "British" nationalism.
