“At #Quds Day rally outside Saudi Embassy in London … Around 200 pro #Palestinian and 200 pro #Israel protesters separated by riot police and barriers 15 meters apart,” UK’s Sky TV network reporter Dan Whitehead tweeted Sundayfrom the anti-Zionist rally. “Calm but lively atmosphere.”
Celebrating anti-Semitism
Numerous cities across the globe – including Toronto, Canada; Berlin, Germany and; Tehran, Iran – held similar Al Quds (meaning Jerusalem) Day marches to celebrate Muslims’ anticipation of the destruction of Israel’s capital city.
“The event – which takes place in many cities worldwide, but mainly in Iran and some parts of the Muslim world – is held ostensibly to protest Israel’s annexation of East Jerusalem, which Palestinians see as their capital in any future peace deal,” the Times of Israel reported.
The Iran-sponsored Lebanese terrorist organization Hezbollah – arguably the world’s largest terrorist group – had its machine-gun-donned flags militantly brandished up and down London’s march path Sunday to tout its Islamic anti-Israel message throughout the city.
It was reported by the Jewish Chronicle last week that London police confirmed its decision to not ban marchers from flying the jihadist organization’s flag – citing British policy that only recognizes Hezbollah’s armed wing as a terrorist group … and not its political arm. The report also noted that London’s Muslim mayor, Sadiq Khan, did not manage to set up a ban – on political grounds – of the terrorist flag with UK Home Secretary Sajid Javid.
Before the Al Quds event, UK’s MP Louise Ellman called for British parliament to pass new law that has been routinely rejected by other European nations – proposed legislation that would blacklist Hezbollah, stressing its dynamic role in manipulating Lebanese politics.
“If we see the machine-gun adorned flag of an anti-Semitic terror group on London’s streets again this June, it will be due to the inaction of the government – they must act now,” Ellman wrote, according to the Times of Israel.
Ellman was writing in response to London Police Commander Jane Connors statement on the matter against banning Hezbollah’s flag on London’s streets Sunday.
“Purely holding a flag does not necessarily incite religious or racial hatred,” Conners insisted. “It is the words or actions of the person holding the flag that can cause incitement.”
The hypocrisy of the UK to ban so called “hate speech” coming from high-profile foreign critics of Islam – including Middle East scholar Robert Spencer and radio personality Michael Savage – but not stop London’s blatantly anti-Semitic march Sunday held by Islamic anti-Semitists, was pointed out by attorney and political analyst Judith Bergman.
“The real problem is the contrast in how the slightest criticism of Islam in the UK is perceived by British police, who readily go about arresting and prosecuting people for it,” Bergman wrote in a column, according to WND. “An afternoon of racism is in store for Londoners on Sunday, but as long as the hate is directed against Jews by Muslims, British authorities apparently have no problem with it.”
The UK’s Palestinian-leaning controversial decision to let the pro-Islamic terrorist event take place and allow its supporters to wave flags inciting violence against the Jewish State was blasted by a globally recognized pro-Israel organization on the day of the event.
“Shameless: the flag of the Anti-semitic terrorist group #Hezbollah flown openly on the streets of London at #AlQuds Day,” the Zionist Federation tweeted Sunday.
