I condemn the violent, wholly unacceptable scenes we have seen today from the EDL and associated groups and Hamas sympathisers attending the National March for Palestine. The despicable actions of a minority of people undermine those who have chosen to express their views peacefully.

Remembrance weekend is a time for us to come together as a nation and remember those who fought and died for our freedoms. What we have seen today does not defend the honour of our Armed Forces, but utterly disrespects them.

That is true for EDL thugs attacking police officers and trespassing on the Cenotaph, and it is true for those singing antisemitic chants and brandishing pro-Hamas signs and clothing on today's protest. The fear and intimidation the Jewish Community have experienced over the weekend is deplorable.

All criminality must be met with the full and swift force of the law. That is what I told the Met Police Commissioner on Wednesday, that is what they are accountable for and that is what I expect.

I will be meeting the Met Police Commissioner in the coming days.

It's utterly disgusting how Sunak seeks to demonise and malign pro-peace marchers by accusing them of anti-Semitism and supporting terrorism by "brandishing pro-Hamas signs and clothing".

The claim that the "from the river to the sea" chant is anti-Semitic is widely disputed. I have no idea what the alleged "pro-Hamas signs" were but it seems the pro-Hamas "clothing" is the Shemagh scarf. That's worn by millions of Arabs, Israelis and others, Muslims, Christians and even Jews, around the world.

And, even if some unsavoury things have been said about Israel's murder of babies and other innocent people, it's beyond sick to present an equivalency between 300,0000 peaceful protestors demanding peace and an end to violence and murder with hundreds of far-right fascists, racists and Jew haters, intent on disrupting Remembrance Day, attacking the police and those marching for peace.

The 300,000 had an entirely peaceful protest. It wasn't the 300,00 who tuned out intent on violence. It wasn't the 300,000 attacking the police. It wasn't the 300,000 throwing explosives at the police. It wasn't the 300,000 who put nine officers in hospital. It wasn't the 300,000 making Nazi salutes.

Only by partisan idiots like you who not so cleverly seek to hide and
confuse its meaning - Muslims, Jews and anyone with a brain knows its a
call to exterminate jews and turn the land in which they presently
reside into an illiterate, subsidized islamic stronghold.

Would there have to be a veritable bloodbath of dead jews to achieve
such a goal ?
Yep, you know it, so do I.

> hundreds of far-right fascists, racists and Jew haters, intent on disrupting Remembrance Day,

Oh here he goes again, the guy who openly dreamed of personally
slaughtering jew civilians accusing others of being jew haters & racists
- Your weak right wing projection antics are not fooling anyone,
everyone knows who the violent nation wreckers are: Left wingnuts.
