"Here we are today as a community in an attempt to remain human and let this Government know that despite all of their scare tactics, for every doctor they harass with repeated arrests; for every musician they attempt to ban from playing shows; for every pensioner with a placard they bundle into a police van; for every political prisoner they hope starves to death; we are here unbreakable and human standing always with the people of Gaza."
"We are aware of chanting made by a speaker at the Al Quds protest and will be investigating. We recognise the concern footage and chanting like this causes, particularly with London's Jewish communities."
Police are investigating chants of death to the IDF led by rapper Bobby Vylan at an Al Quds protest in central London on Sunday. The protest drew hundreds of demonstrators who waved Palestinian flags and chanted slogans supporting Gaza. Twelve people were arrested for offenses including showing support for a proscribed organisation, affray, and threatening or abusive behaviour. A counter-demonstration by Stop The Hate occurred on the opposite side of the Thames, with Israeli flag supporters present. Police deployed significant resources including officers, vans, and boats to manage the two groups and maintain separation between protesters and counter-protesters.
