"Today marks the second anniversary of the terrorist group Hamas committing a massacre in Israel on 7 October 2023 which the world saw around 1,200 Jewish people being brutally killed. Women and children were slaughtered by the terrorist group and captured people and held them hostage, some are still being held in unknown locations."
"MPs including leaders of the opposition parties and the Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer have called on the pro-Palestine protests to not take place today. Shadow justice secretary Robert Jenrick told a fringe event on the side lines of the Tory party conference, "I heard today that there are protests being scheduled in universities for October the 7th - that's a f****** disgrace. I would say first and foremost to people, our fellow citizens who are thinking of doing that, show some common decency.""
"Writing in the Times, Starmer said that the pro-Palestine protests have been used by some as a "despicable excuse to attack British Jews" in the past. "Today, on the anniversary of the atrocities of October 7, students are once again planning protests," Starmer wrote. "This is not who we are as a country. It's un-British to have so little respect for others. And that's before some of them decide to start chanting hatred towards Jewish people all over again.""
On 7 October 2023 Hamas killed around 1,200 people in Israel, with many women and children among the dead and others taken hostage, some still missing. UK MPs and senior political figures called for pro-Palestine protests not to take place on the second anniversary of the attack. Shadow justice secretary Robert Jenrick condemned planned university demonstrations and called for common decency. Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer and Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch denounced the timing and some chants as inappropriate and "un-British." Students at King's College and about 100 protesters in Sheffield carried pro-Palestine slogans and chants, including "From river to the sea."
