Thousands of people marched through central London on Saturday to show solidarity with Palestine and to reiterate calls for a ceasefire in Gaza.
Demonstrators met on Queen Victoria Street before making their way along Fleet Street towards Parliament Square. The protest, part of a global day of action, comes after the RAF and the US military carried out airstrikes against Houthi bases in Yemen.
The Palestine Solidarity Campaign, which organised the event, claimed “hundreds of thousands” of people had joined the march.

Little Amal, a 12ft giant puppet of a Syrian child refugee, accompanied protesters as they marched towards Parliament Square. Amir Nizar Zuabi, the artistic director of Walk With Amal, was among the marchers.
He said: “Amal is a Syrian child. She’s 10. She’s a representation of refugee children everywhere.”
Zuabi is Palestinian. “Refugees and Palestine are almost synonyms. We have some of the longest-existing refugee population in the world. Gaza is consistent with lots of refugees, all the refugees that came from Jaffa and what we call the Sahel, the coastal areas of Palestine are now in the refugee camps in Gaza and are targeted again,” he said.
“One of the things that is so, so horribly loud and atrociously clear is the fact that children are being targeted in large numbers,” he added.
Speaking at Parliament Square, the Palestinian ambassador to the UK, Husam Zomlot, accused the British government of “complicity” with Israel. He said that Palestine was a “nation of freedom fighters”, saying: “I stand before you with a broken heart but not a broken spirit.”
He congratulated South Africa for bringing a genocide case against Israel at the UN’s international court of justice.
Sinn Féin’s president, Mary Lou McDonald, told the crowd in London that Palestinian freedom is possible.
She said: “When I say this, standing in London, in common cause with you, [having] walked our own journey out of conflict, building peace for 25 years, this can happen.
“This must happen and we will ensure that it does.”
Hundreds of police officers were on duty in the capital on Saturday. The Met said officers from forces outside London were brought in. Users on social media reported that the Met was handing out flyers warning people to “keep on the right side of the law”, noting that “while the majority of people are complying with these rules, a minority have crossed the line”.
Three people were arrested on suspicion of showing support for a proscribed organisation, which is an offence under the Terrorism Act, while two arrests were made for “offensive placards”. A sixth arrest was made for possession of stickers to be used for criminal damage.
The Met has put in place a number of conditions, including: any person participating in the procession must not deviate from the route specified; the speeches at the assembly after the procession must end by 4.30pm and the whole event must end by 5pm; no participant in the protest may enter the area around the Israeli embassy.
This is the seventh National March for Palestine organised by the Palestine Solidarity Campaign since October.
The feeling among the people is 100% for Palestine
i pity any soldiers who disobey the people and go to help israel
my god., there is already talk of vigilante gangs
“Genocide”–they mean they can’t keep up and it makes them feel ashamed
It’s about Nazi UK, but not about Gaza.
This link shows just one tiny sliver of Nazi Britain, and Nazi councils at work.
Everything in bankrupt Nazi Britain is about directing Nazi hate on the sheeple. Just fly tip, it’s safer and cheaper.
Top tip (there’s a pun in there). Buy a large liqudiser, and liquidise your waste. You can even do this with shredded cardboard, and then flush it down the toilet. Less trips to the tip.

Yes it was a great event, and we were allowed to meet in Trafalgar Square this time which makes a change.
London is dying, literally.
Nazi UK left the EU so they could protect the City Crime Cartels, and off shore banking interests.
But it’s much more than Brexit. Aside from winning their contrived WW2, and forming the EU, there was this huge lagacy effect from many Amerikans returning to the UK (London), often every year, with extended trips to Europe. Their lambs would travel with them, and the tradition of traveling to the UK carried on, but these generations are dying off, and their offspring know a bigger, much more pleasant world.
So Le Gavroche was a top notch eatery in Mayfair, and a short walk from the old US Embassy and many top hotels. The embassy is now relocated in it’s own compound off Nine Elms in South West London.
Micheal Roux probably has legit reasons for closing his restaurant down, but I put it down to business costs, the fact that London isn’t a viable place to run a business, and the fact Britain has been declining like a falling apple. Brexit was cake and eat.
I doubt, all but the very top US spies dine out at top eateries, and most stay safe in their compound with Just Eat and Netfecks.
Michel Roux Jr closes his Le Gavroche London restaurant for final time before retirement, 57 years … https://mol.im/a/12960559 via https://dailym.ai/android
More failing London.
Samantha Cameron, married to Lord David Pecker Pigs Head Cameron, has been given a high end shop lease. The expiring lease holder has been given the Nazi jack boot. Other businesses aren’t happy, but who cares, when gongs and brown envelopes are on the table.

The other businesses must be very concerned about their future. What if Olena Zelenska(y) wants a shop? Will it come with free Met police security?
How much longer – before the pot finally boils over – can Richie Shitsak and ZOGUK’s (((Bought & Paid For))) Parliament Of Whores flagrantly violate every civilisational norm by giving ISISrael ‘carte blanche’ to exterminate???
Tick… tick… tick…
cARL jONES–i WOULD(caps error) RATHER SAy the Jews got us out of the EU, WHICH WAS NOT zIONIST ENOUGH FOR THEM, but that would also be a bit incorrect (caps error again)

Please stop using “Nazi” to describe these people. There is nothing “Nazi” about them. National Socialism/Fascism while authoritarian, were opposed to usury and actually enforced the highest legislated employment standards in the world. WWII was about showing that the International Banking Cartel wasn’t necessary in order to have a thriving economy. Israel is the Cartel’s project, just as the EU is a US project for the Cartel.
Carly (Carl) Jones says NazisUK is dying. Maybe she can disappear first, then the UK can be free of Nazis.
Oops, she might report me to her Masters; Slimy Hymie and his tribal buddies.
Funny how Nazi Z and Nazi N call everyone Nazis, and the resident thetruthseeker troll call me a Nazi, well, no surprises there.
The Fail reports a motorist in London was ‘arrested’ for shouting ‘free Palistinie’ at Jews during today’s London protest. No name has been attributed to the arrested man, so this is likely bullshit, and a Met Police intimidation tactic.
There’s no such thing as antisemitism. There’s hate, and racism, and Jews aren’t a race.

Such a Nazi privilege to be ‘allowed’ into the Nazi police state Trafalgar Square surveillance pen. I bet all the thicko sheeple had their Nazi trackers with them?
lewis jones: just because you create something, doesn’t mean it’s forever.
Decades before Brexit, it was clear the UK was going to leave, and Brexit is a trade war.
