About 100,000 protesters join pro-Palestinian march through London

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%.

We Jewish baby boomers have been spoiled by the sympathy resulting from the horrors of the Holocaust. As the memory of the Holocaust fades in younger Gentile generations, our dangers are returning to what they have been for most of our history.

100,000 real or potential Islamic extremist soldiers inside the gates. Thank you comrades in the Labor Party for keeping the doors open for your enemies and killers.

“”Free Palestine””

The best anyone can do at this point is to liberate Hamas from their own tunnels by flushing them out...by any means necessary.

“If you look at Israel you see our future in the West”

Don’t be such a defeatist.

“their religious and political leaders tell you what they believe...”

They sure do, but I’d like to believe that eventually, their “worldview” will be their downfall.

One of the great things for Islam is that it tends to not change and become diluted or perverted with all these new fashionable ideas people come up with.

Christianity today has 10,000 different flavors and some of the beliefs held by some Christians are outright heretical, go against the most basic doctrine we have, the Bible. The point being that Islam unlike Christianity tends to stick to its ideas and not change with time. This is Christianity: feminism appears 1900, you get female pastors. LGBTQ appears 1980s, you get gay pastors. Socialism appears 1860s, you get some Christians equivocating socialism with Christianity. Climate change appears 1970s, you have the Pope prostrating himself before this new Golden Calf today: https://www.msn.com/en-in/news/other/high-probability-pope-francis-could-attend-cop28-climate-conference-in-dubai/ar-AA1ivwv0 Christianity is whatever people want it to be.

If you really want to learn about Islam, you need to learn Arabic since not even translations are accepted as “authentic.” That is why all nations that have a large Islamic population eventually have Arabic as a major language. There is a beauty in that, Islam isn’t a joke like Christianity. They take it serious and they don’t change like the weather.

For an orthodox/fundamentalist Muslim, all these folks that accept modern ideas, philosophies, etc. are not real Muslims.

For there to really be coexistence (bumper sticker philosophy), and peace, Islam would have to change since part of Islam (which literally means “submission”) is conversion by force, oppression of women, killing homosexuals, treating non-Muslims as second rate before the law, not allowing free speech regards Islam and especially the prophet Mohamed...

***How do you accommodate liberal Western culture with it’s freedoms (speech, religion, etc), democracy, secular law, with a culture that permeates every aspect of society dictating everything from dress (example Hijab), food (Halal), the law (Sharia), education, the arts and entertainment...???***

Here’s another way to look at it: Islam is the ONLY religion where the more devout someone becomes, the greater the disagreements and threat.

***How do you coexist with a culture that does not compromise and change, is forceful/violent, and goes against many of the major ideas Western culture has embraced over the millennia? What is Western society doing regards a culture where once you reach about 30% they begin to take over: https://external-content.duckduckgo.com/iu/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.dw.com%2Fimage%2F41585968_401.png&f=1&nofb=1&ipt=a9c41264f063a5853611384b63414338416410bf97d35e085f884c2d083bd54a&ipo=images Historically, there are (2) two tipping points when it comes to Islam and demographics. The first is when they reach about 10%. At that point they begin to make demands in so far that they expect the host nation to allow for their culture to supersede the laws and traditions of the host in areas where they have a majority. Example of this is France today. The second tipping point is when they reach ~30%, at that point the country et al. becomes heavily Islamic influenced. This is because Islam is the sole means of organizing society for these people and even though they are only ~30%, they are extremely united and forceful. Examples here are Lebanon and Sudan.

Islam has been and remains a ticking time bomb, pun intended.

There are really only a few ways to deal with this and none of them are “feel-good.”

***When folks do not get along and you don’t want them killing each other (a nasty domestic argument as an example) you separate them. You create physical distance between them, maybe even erect barriers and you limit the communications to only what is essential.

The alternative is worse.

‘London is a hell hole!”

Agreed. Visited this past spring. Very little felt English. Crowded with third-worlders,, noisy, cold, damp... Will not be returning. Outlying countryside felt a bit more normal.

I used to dream, and I used to vow
I wouldn’t dream of it now
We look to Los Angeles
For the language we use
London is dead, London is dead
London is dead, London is dead
London is dead, London is dead

"There are really only a few ways to deal with this and none of them are โ€œfeel-good.โ€"

I'd be disappointed if I knew that I would never live to see them fade away.

In the meantime, I do hope that their "overreach" blows up in their faces time and time again.

If you think “Muslim” is a language you’re even dumber than I thought? How closely related were your parents, Nazi ๐Ÿ€?
