British police at an August pro-Palestine demonstration in Parliament Square, London
Imran Mulla – Middle East Eye Dec 17, 2025
The Metropolitan and Greater Manchester police forces have announced they will arrest people for chanting “globalise the intifada” or holding placards displaying the phrase.
They said on Wednesday: “Violent acts have taken place, the context has changed – words have meaning and consequence. We will act decisively and make arrests.”
The announcement comes days after the devastating massacre that killed at least 15 people and wounded 40 on Bondi Beach in Australia. The attack is widely considered as antisemitic as it targeted Jewish people celebrating the first night of Hanukkah.
The two police forces said: “We know communities are concerned about placards and chants such as ‘globalise the intifada’ and those using it at future protests or in a targeted way should expect” the two forces “to take action”.
“Frontline officers will be briefed on this enhanced approach. We will also use powers under the Public Order Act, including conditions around London synagogues during services.”
Pro-Palestine activists have strongly denied that “globalise the intifada” is antisemitic or a call for violence, and British Jews have been prominent in pro-Palestine marches in the UK.
Intifada comes from the Arabic root word nafada, which means “to shake off” or “to rise up”, and translates to “uprising”.
Some uprisings in Arab history that have been labelled intifadas were peaceful, while the intifadas in occupied Palestine involved both civil disobedience and armed resistance against Israel.
But Health Secretary Wes Streeting claimed on Monday that the protest chant “globalise the intifada” is linked to terrorism.
‘Undermines the fight against antisemitism’
Civil sociery organisations, however, have rejected that characterisation, arguing that it misrepresents both the meaning of the phrase and the intent of those using it at demonstrations.
Ben Jamal, director of the Palestine Solidarity Campaign (PSC), one of the groups which organise the regular national pro-Palestine marches in central London, told Middle East Eye the announcement “marks another low in the political repression of protest for Palestinian rights.
“The police have not consulted with the Palestine coalition who organise the major protests in London, nor representative groups of the Palestinian community in Britain before making this far reaching statement on our rights,” Jamal said.
“The implication that slogans used to support the liberation of the Palestinian people are only open to interpretation by groups who have maintained complicit support for Israel’s oppression of the Palestinian people and denial of their rights is deeply problematic.”
He added: “The horrific massacre in Sydney, Australia should not be used as a justification to further repress fundamental democratic rights of protest and free speech in this country.”
Ismail Patel, chair of Friends of Al-Aqsa, another group that plans London marches, told MEE on Tuesday that intifada means “to shake off the Israeli occupation” and the phrase “globalising the intifada is simply a way of expressing global solidarity with efforts to end an illegal Israeli occupation and to strive for a just peace”.
The Board of Deputies of British Jews welcomed the announcement from the Met and Greater Manchester Police, calling it a “necessary intervention” and saying it came “after repeated urging from the Board of Deputies and others”.
In October, following a deadly attack on a synagogue in Manchester that killed two Jewish worshippers, Prime Minister Keir Starmer said the call to “internationalise the intifada” was a “call to attack Jewish communities around the world”.
The statement by the police forces on Wednesday referenced the synagogue attack.
British Chief Rabbi Ephraim Mirvis said on Monday that “for far too long we have allowed chants such as globalise the intifada”, which he claimed “incite hatred and which inspire people to engage in hate action”.
“Why is it still allowed?” he said, adding that the meaning of chant was “what happened on Bondi Beach”.
Now you know that Hanukkah is celebrating Kikes killing Christians many years ago like all there BS celebrating killing us Goyim. Good job the scum got killed but I think it’s a false flag as per usual. Tod Dem Juden you Kike Vermin
Never fully trust anyone in a uniform, or indeed, a business suit. “Standard” dress demonstrates an agenda for which the wearer is being paid. Wearers are not their “own” men or women.
So, yes, once again the police are useful idiots for (((international capital))). Those that achieve high office are those who discern the top-down politics and make the right noises. The lower level ranks indeed might contain officers who genuinely want to perform a public duty but will forever need to exert Orwellian doublethink to maintain the often twin tier policing that TPTB need.
And in so far as this stresses them – like school teachers for example – they will suffer mental health, drinking, and other problems from the need to live untruthfully in order to pay their mortgages and so on. My lasting experience from the standard work environment is how stress is the result of living untruthfully.
And the whole world continues dancing to the jew piper…
The Streisand Effect will ensure state repression of those who condemn the Jews will increase the antipathy towards Jewish affairs by those who are aware of them, and increase the awareness of those who never quite knew. Repression won’t end the criticism, it will compound it.
Britain has been Rothschild Jewry’s main Butt-Boy for over 300 years. Royal blood is thoroughly polluted with Jew spermatozoa. Britain has no Constitutional rights. It’s been a supremacist Jew police state all along. Incredible that they think “anti-Semitism” just comes out of nowhere! There’s infinite reasons for Hating Jews! My God! They’ve committed countless crimes against Humanity & want to rule the world under a Jew NeoBolshevik order! Good Jews are as rare as a gold nugget laying on the creek bed.
Judaism is a Supremacist Death Cult masquerading as a religion. Their power emanates from extreme wealth, headed by Rothschild Jewry. In their insane desire to rule the world, Jewry will get the Jew-ruled west NUKED! Jewry is nothing less than a Demonic force threatening the world with a Nuclear Armageddon. If Jewry’s power is not destroyed, it will destroy the world.
If cops in America ever start acting like the British pigs, they’ll get their asses shot off!
It used to be that being a cop was an honor and a calling to serve and protect “the people”. Now it is simply a call to put on a uniform, be a condescending elitist prick with a gun, and oppress the people and suck up to the State which essentially hates anyone opposed to its lies, corruption, and oppression.
Rothschilds enforcers are enemies for english
goyim natives . shun them . they are not on
your side + moslems + africans farther away .
I 100% disagree on the police doing this. However, that stated, there shouldn’t be anyone, in the UK, protesting about anything other than UK national matters. Now some will say that this is everything to do with Britain, when the reality is it’s everything to do with Balfour and Rothschild and not the British public, whose lives have been disrupted and being destroyed because of this too.
Protesting will do absolutely nothing. Protesting is doing nothing bur leading to protest banning, which is the obvious reason why Palestinians and Palestinian sympathisers are being allowed to protest. Protesting is having the completely opposite affect to what it’s there for and the people do nor realise this. It’s no different to throwing millions of troops against a heavily fortified bulwark. No one’s getting through.
There’s only one way you stop this and that’s to create a police service under the authority of the nationals and not the crown and secondly the immediate arrest of the Rothschilds, all those who work for them and a complete seizure of all money and assets worldwide. Only then will there be any solution to Palestine. You can protest for a month of Sundays and nothing will ever change otherwise.
Jews now working on a new, Jewish-friendly Bible.
Old one, too antisemitic…

Not quite. The Rothschilds came to England in 1798 when Nathan Mayer Rothschild, the third son of Mayer Amschel Rothschild, was sent from Frankfurt to establish a branch of the family’s business. He initially settled in Manchester to trade in textiles before moving to London to found N M Rothschild & Sons in 1811.
The Rothschilds took control of the British Stock Exchange in 1815, by sending couriers over to England before the Battle of Waterloo had ended, spreading the news that Napoleon had defeated Wellington, which created panic and mass selling. The Rothschilds then, of course, bought up all the stocks and shares for pennies on the pound. So, Britain’s been the butt boy for just over 210 years.
If you watch the 1934 movie The House of Rothschild, which was created to paint the Rothschilds in a positive light (which it didn’t), they make out, at the end, they were doing the exact opposite in the stock exchange and selling their shares to save Britain.
Dutch banking Jews took control of Britain by funding Oliver Cromwell’s New Model Army and bringing about regicide of King Charles to get back in. Cromwell brought them back in in 1656 (after expulsion since 1290). When Charles II reclaimed the throne he allowed them to stay for pragmatic and diplomatic reasons and for the fact that they financed him while he was in exile (again, playing both sides as they always do).
