About 100,000 people joined a pro-Palestinian demonstration in central London on Saturday, marching through the British capital to demand an immediate ceasefire in Gaza following the Hamas attack on Israel two weeks ago.
Chanting "Free Palestine", holding banners and waving Palestinian flags, the protesters moved through London before massing at Downing Street, the official residence and office of British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak.
Police estimated 100,000 people had taken part in the "National March for Palestine" demonstration, organised by the Palestine Solidarity Campaign.
"As a Palestinian who'd like to return home one day, as a Palestinian who has brothers and sisters in Gaza, and family, I wish we can do more but protest is what we can do at the minute," one woman, who declined to give her name, told Reuters.
Many of the chants and banners contained strong anti-Israeli slogans, and one protester held a banner with pictures of Sunak, U.S. President Joe Biden, and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu with the message "Wanted For War crimes".
Police had cautioned before the march that anyone showing support for Hamas, banned as a terrorist organisation in Britain, would face arrest, and any incident of hate crime would not be tolerated.
The protest was mostly peaceful, and police said they had made 10 arrests.
Figures on Friday showed there had been a 1,353% increase in antisemitic offences this month compared to the same period last year, while Islamophobic offences were up 140%.

Western Civilization - destroyed by “diversity”. Surprise! That was their plan all along.
They forgot to bring their swastika flags. Maybe next time

How many non-Muslims [infidels]???
America is 1.1% Muslim.
In Canada, it's 4.9%.
We're an ocean away. And 9/11 attacks made us "hostile" to Muslim immigration.
In the UK, it's 6.7%. France, now it's 10%.
John Lennon must be turning in his grave
It seems like much more.
I was in Londonistan around August.
The UK is trying so hard.
But demographics and their corresponding values matter.
London is in trouble, if not the larger UK, France, Germany, Italy, Spain et al.
The forces of globalization met their match with Islam. You have mutually EXCLUSIVE values.
Another example: Why would Germany, a beer and wine drinking people (one of the oldest laws enforced is a beer law: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reinheitsgebot), that have a long naturalist tradition (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freik%C3%B6rperkultur), are socially liberal: accepting of LGBTQ, feminism, diversity/tolerance in religions, have a great degree of free speech, a secular legal code where all people are equal, who eat pork, bring in millions of people who disagree with (((ALL))) of that? What do you expect is going to happen eventually?!?!?!
This is like a comedy.
This is what you expect Jerry Spring to do: bring a KKK Grand Dragon and leader of the NAACP on stage to talk about race relations and then pretend to be shocked when a fight breaks out.
How many Muslims live in London? Let me guess, 100,000?
“It is more important than ever that our children have a better understanding of Islam and that we build strong relationships with British Muslims,” the spokesman for [Chief Rabbi of England] Mirvis told the paper.
The death of Europe. Beyond sad. My grandchildren will see the end of Western Civilization.
Is this more Satan fan club or Hitler fan club?
Worse yet.
If you look at Israel you see our future in the West.
All we have done over the last few decades is to import the threat to your neighborhood or workplace. To deal with this new threat we stripped away your constitutional rights, but that won’t long term make a difference. These police states like Israel and even the UK (to a large degree even us) still have continuous issues, and security/stability is only assured with a constant expenditure of energy to keep ones boot on the neck of this problem. Lift that boot, and you won’t like what happens next.
Oil and water:
It won’t mix if we shake it really hard. It won’t mix if we look the other way and pretend it has. It won’t mix if we blame ourselves for the lack of mixing. It won’t mix if even if we make nice gestures. No matter what we do, oil and water won’t mix unless you change their basic nature.
Let me ask these rhetorical questions: If their religious and political leaders tell you what they believe very openly. If their doctrine (Koran and Hadith) tells you what they believe and you can read it. If 1,400 years of history shows you what they believe. If opinion polls tell you what the majority believe. If their actions in all places where they achieve a majority (Turkey, Lebanon, Egypt, N. Sudan...) shows you what they believe. What makes you think they believe in something else?
But ..... mostly peaceful,
Right ?
Great post ... I hope a lot of eyes see it.
“shows you what they believe. What makes you think they believe in something else?”
so very true. Hard to believe we are at this point ... but ..here we are.
Indeed.
They have many Leftists like AOC supporting them so it seems more than that. But they’re not actual Muslims. Yet.
LOL. That was my first thought too.
