A pro-Palestinian speaker issued a call to "normalize massacres" during a demonstration in London on Saturday in support of a cease-fire in Gaza, prompting police to look into the matter.
Pro-Palestinian supporters had marched through central London as part of a global day of action against Israeli military action against Hamas in Gaza.
Video has circulated on social media of one speaker, Palestinian activist Mohammed el-Kurd, addressing a crowd gathered in Parliament Square.
"I dare you to look into the eyes of a Gazan child and tell him you tried your best," he told the crowd. "Our day will come. But we must not be complacent. Our day will come. But we must normalize massacres as a status quo."
El-Kurd later responded to backlash about his statement regarding the normalization of massacres on X, writing that he "would never say that."
"I was clearly saying we shouldn't be complacent, we shouldn't normalize massacres," he wrote. "Willfully distorting my words is an indication of your own bankruptcy. I'm allowed to misspeak. Also: idagf. Call the police! Write a Yelp review!"
London police issued a statement on X saying that authorities were aware of the video and the remarks.
"Officers are aware of the remarks, the commentary surrounding them and the subsequent statements issued by the speaker," Metropolitan Police said. "They are assessing the matter and as part of that assessment will be seeking to speak to the individual concerned."
Despite claiming that he misspoke in that one instance, videos posted online show el-Kurd’s speech also directly called for Zionism to be extinguished from the world.
"Zionism is apartheid, it’s genocide, it’s murder, it’s a racist ideology rooted in settler expansion and racial domination, and we must root it out of the world," el-Kurd said.

“Normalize massacres” of mooselimbs? Is that acceptable?
It’s funny how that works. A Muslim praises massacres of Jews, and calls for more massacres. The UK police respond by saying they’ll assess the situation.
I guess that means the police will hold a meeting, issue a weak statement, then go back to harassing Christians.
They probably are.
Educators at top U.S. universities would have to determine context before making judgment.
They have a new policy in the UK... Policemen who identify as ‘policewomen’ can now frisk females. The UK is dripping in wokeness and immigrants apparently control the streets. The police allow them to run roughshod over monuments and shut down transportation. Sadiq Khan is essentially flushing London down the wokeness toilet.
“I dare you to look into the eyes of a Gazan child and tell him you tried your best,” he told the crowd.” How about this speaking looking at the pictures of the children killed by Hamas on Oct. 7? Oh wait...he can’t because, they were murdered in extremely horrible ways. I dare any of these people to answer the question...if that had been your child, would you be calling for a ceasefire?
Pro-Palestinian = Terrorist
open borders have really worked out well /s
At least the MIC / corporations got their cheap labor
Your question would be meaningless to those savages who are willing to use their own children as suicide bombers and as human shields.
They won’t do a damned thing to him.
Britain has been completely neutered.

Where is the Mayor of London? Or is he sympathetic to mass murder on behalf of his Umma and cares little for all the people of his city?
Where are the politicians in Westminster? Can they bother to comment?
El Turd and his jihadist sister, the Islamic version of “All in the Family”.
I am talking about the young people in our country (and England) that are out there protesting Israel’s fight in Gaza. Most of them probably don’t even know the history of the conflict there but are protesting anyway. But I agree with you 100% about the monsters like Hamas.
Okay, got it.
