"Hundreds of protesters have defied the Prime Minister and marched through central London on the second anniversary of the October 7 attacks. Scores of demonstrators wearing keffiyehs in an array of colours took part in an Inter-University March stopping to protest at some of London's most prestigious universities, including King's College London (KCL) and the School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS)."
"Sir Keir Starmer had urged students to call off the un-British protests taking place across the country two years to the day since Hamas burst into Israel, killing around 1,200 Israelis and taking 251 people hostage, with the prime minister's official spokesperson saying demonstrators should demonstrate humanity. But protesters insisted they will not be intimidated by the state and that the Government had slandered students protesting against the war in Gaza on the anniversary of the devastating attack."
"Pro-Palestine protesters held banners, including one reading Israeli apartheid off campus and chanted 1, 2, 3, 4, occupation no more.
