About 100,000 people joined a pro-Palestinian demonstration in central London on Saturday, marching through the British capital to demand an immediate ceasefire in Gaza following the Hamas attack on Israel two weeks ago.
Chanting "Free Palestine", holding banners and waving Palestinian flags, the protesters moved through London before massing at Downing Street, the official residence and office of British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak.
Police estimated 100,000 people had taken part in the "National March for Palestine" demonstration, organised by the Palestine Solidarity Campaign.
"As a Palestinian who'd like to return home one day, as a Palestinian who has brothers and sisters in Gaza, and family, I wish we can do more but protest is what we can do at the minute," one woman, who declined to give her name, told Reuters.
Many of the chants and banners contained strong anti-Israeli slogans, and one protester held a banner with pictures of Sunak, U.S. President Joe Biden, and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu with the message "Wanted For War crimes".
Police had cautioned before the march that anyone showing support for Hamas, banned as a terrorist organisation in Britain, would face arrest, and any incident of hate crime would not be tolerated.
The protest was mostly peaceful, and police said they had made 10 arrests.
Figures on Friday showed there had been a 1,353% increase in antisemitic offences this month compared to the same period last year, while Islamophobic offences were up 140%.

Isn’t Mohammed supposed to be the most popular name for baby boys in Britain?

Could be worse, Jolly Old England could be speaking German right now.
“ Police had cautioned before the march that anyone showing support for Hamas, banned as a terrorist organisation in Britain, would face arrest, and any incident of hate crime would not be tolerated.”
Empty words.
Protestors are clearly well funded and organized.
ROFL
England is dead unless they start killing the savages.
London is a hell hole!
“England is dead unless they start killing the savages.”
England is dead; they just don’t know it yet.
And pretty soon we will be too, sadly.
They forgot to bring their swastika flags. Maybe next time
Just like France 🇫🇷 and Germany 🇩🇪.
I sometimes watch videos taken from the upper deck of London buses, and the number of women with hijabs on in certain neighborhoods is very high. The buildings also usually have graffiti on them.
