In a significant escalation of ongoing tensions, hundreds of police are mobilized for competing protests in London advocating and opposing Palestinian actions and Israeli military responses. The pro-Palestinian demonstration, under the Palestine Coalition, is set to march towards the US Embassy demanding an end to arms supplied to Israel, while a counter protest by Stop the Hate voices allegations of antisemitism against PSC. The protests follow a tragic death toll in Gaza and controversial statements from former President Trump about resettlement options for Palestinians, fueling further debate and activism.
We stand with the Palestinian people in their struggle for justice and equality. We will continue to call out the complicity of our government, corporations and institutions that enable Israel's crimes.
Trump's idea for resettling displaced Palestinians has been labeled a blueprint for a crime of historic proportions by the Palestine Solidarity Campaign.
Stop The Hate UK allege that the PSC's rallies are a hate fest and involve antisemitism.
The Metropolitan Police said resources are being deployed so the rival protests cannot physically come together, although they are within sight and sound of each other.
