Allies of Home Secretary Suella Braverman have warned that the Metropolitan Police have already proven her to be right in criticising them for applying double standards on how they treat protests.<\/p>\n
There was fury as the anti-Israel pro-Palestinian march started off with protesters marching through London chanting the antisemitic slogan “from the river to the sea, Palestinians shall be free.”<\/p>\n
The slogan calls for the destruction of Israel and has been regularly used by supporters of the Hamas terrorist group as well as other pro-Palestinian activists.<\/p>\n
It has been regularly heard on the streets of London in the marches organised by Palestinian supporters in the wake of the murder of more than 1,400 Israeli citizens.<\/p>\n
But on a day when the police were praised for their robust handling of far-right protesters in Whitehall, they stood back as what is seen as an antisemitic march started up again.<\/p>\n
