The November 11 Rally in London Was Anti-Israel and Violent; Here Is the Proof

More than a month since the most lethal and barbaric antisemitic attack since the Holocaust was perpetrated by Palestinians in Gaza, pro-Palestinian demos have taken place weekly in London.
All of these marches have failed to condemn the Hamas massacre or demand the release of the 240 hostages (including children) illegally held by the terror group.
In fact, since the very beginning, the marches have included chants, banners and other actions indicating varying levels of support for the mass murder of Jews committed by Hamas, a proscribed terror group
Further as the Telegraph reported last week, half of the main organizers of the November 11 march, which coincided with Armistice Day, were affiliated with Hamas. This includes Muhammad Kathem Sawalha, who led the terror group in the West Bank in the late 1980s and is alleged to have “masterminded” its military strategy with involvement as recently as 2019, before moving to Britain.
As we noted in a post about a previous march, which was similarly framed by British media outlets as “peaceful,” reporters seemed determined to reach that conclusion regardless of the facts on the ground.
While it’s been noted that many marched peacefully, many acted in an openly antisemitic fashion, which included displaying grotesque caricatures of puppetmasters, references to Zionism as a disease, and placards and recited chants that called for Palestine to be free “from the river to the sea’ — a widely understood as a call for the elimination of the state of Israel and the murder or total displacement of its seven-million strong Jewish population.
And there was violence at the November 11 march.
Here’s some of the evidence undermining media reports suggesting that this most recent march, which drew hundreds of thousands of people, was “peaceful.”

State of this. This Iranian man holds a sign saying “Hamas is Isis”. Even that is too much for these masked men, who attack him. Lucky @joshglancy wasn’t walking past in his kippah at the time. The shame of Britain. Paging @metpoliceuk pic.twitter.com/ptpq9xRxns

How people could pose with photos and not say anything to people dressed terrorists (note hamas headband).

Now, the gaslighting reporting on the march:
Channel 4 News
Their report last night by presenter Jane Dodge (“Massive London march for Palestinians as far-right protest turn violent,” Nov. 11) on the protests highlighted a relatively small number of far right counter-protesters, while almost completely erasing the pro-Palestinian extremism.
The Independent
The Indy — in several reports yesterday– also focused almost entirely on relatively small number of far-right counter-protesters, while obfuscating the hate and extremism by the far, far larger pro-Palestinian demonstrators.
The Guardian
The Guardian didn’t just ignore the antisemitism, thuggery and calls for violence, but wrote the following in of their major report on the protests (“Hundreds of thousands rally for Gaza in London as police arrest far-right protesters,” Nov. 11): “Hundreds of thousands of people marched peacefully through central London yesterday to protest against Israel’s continued bombardment of Gaza”
A photo gallery they published similarly managed to avoid any photos depicting the extremism displayed by many of the marchers.
The Telegraph
In contrast with The Guardian, Channel 4 News and The Independent, The Telegraph reported extensively on the antisemitic hate on display at yesterday’s march, and included an official editorial titled “A day of chaos that shamed Britain.”
Their reporting also noted that “several of the [antisemitic and extremist] stickers and placards held by protesters appeared to have been produced by the Friends of al-Aqsa group (one one the main organisers of the march), founded and chaired by Ismael Patel, a Leicester-based Islamist who has repeatedly voiced his support for Hamas.”
They were also the only outlet we reviewed which reported on the pro-Palestinian demonstrators harassing Jews going to synagogue in northwest London — per this tweet.

Iran Says Eight Arrested for Suspected Links to Israel’s Mossad Spy Agency

Iran’s Revolutionary Guards said on Saturday they had arrested eight people suspected of trying to transmit the coordinates of sensitive sites and details about senior military figures to Israel’s Mossad, Iranian state media reported.
They are accused of having provided the information to the Mossad spy agency during Israel’s air war on Iran in June, when it attacked Iranian nuclear facilities and killed top military commanders as well as civilians in the worst blow to the Islamic Republic since the 1980s war with Iraq.
Iran retaliated with barrages of missiles on Israeli military sites, infrastructure and cities. The United States entered the war on June 22 with strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities.
A Guards statement alleged that the suspects had received specialized training from Mossad via online platforms. It said they were apprehended in northeastern Iran before carrying out their plans, and that materials for making launchers, bombs, explosives and booby traps had been seized.
State media reported earlier this month that Iranian police had arrested as many as 21,000 “suspects” during the 12-day war with Israel, though they did not say what these people had been suspected of doing.
Security forces conducted a campaign of widespread arrests and also stepped up their street presence during the brief war that ended in a US-brokered ceasefire.
Iran has executed at least eight people in recent months, including nuclear scientist Rouzbeh Vadi, hanged on August 9 for passing information to Israel about another scientist killed in Israeli airstrikes.
Human rights groups say Iran uses espionage charges and fast-tracked executions as tools for broader political repression.

i24 News – The body of Idan Shtivi, a 28-year-old murdered by Palestinian jihadists at the Nova music festival on October 7, 2023, was recovered in a joint operation by the IDF and Shin Bet in central Gaza, it was cleared for publication on Saturday.
Shtivi’s remains were returned to Israel alongside the body of Ilan Weiss, another hostage killed during the October 7 massacre.
“Idan Shtivi was abducted from the Tel Gama area and brutally murdered by Hamas terrorists after acting to rescue and evacuate others from the Nova music festival on October 7th, 2023. He was 28 years old at the time of his death,” read an IDF press release.
“Following an identification process conducted at the National Center for Forensic Medicine, along with the Israel Police and the Military Rabbinate, the Hostages and Missing Persons Headquarters notified his family.”
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Shviti “was a gifted student of sustainability and governance, and a courageous individual” who acted heroically on October 7, helping others flee.
“He was killed in the process and his body was abducted to Gaza by Hamas. My wife and I send our heartfelt condolences to the Shtivi family. So far, 207 hostages have been returned, 148 of them alive. We will continue to act tirelessly and decisively to bring back all our hostages—living and deceased.”

Woman Stabbed at Ottawa Grocery Store in Latest Antisemitic Attack

i24 News – The stabbing of a Jewish woman at an Ottawa grocery by a man with a long history of antisemitic posts on social media, the latest antisemitic hate crime in Canada, sparked outrage and prompted condemnation from officials including the prime minister.
Both the victim and the attacker are in their 70s. The woman is reportedly in serious condition.
The suspect was identified as Joseph Rooke, who has authored a series of lengthy rambling screeds on social media, ranting against Israel and Jews.
“Judaism is the world’s oldest cult,” he writes in one post, going on to say “over time jews have become insidious in governments, businesses, media conglomerates, and educational institutions in order to do what they do better than anyone else. Jews are the world’s masters of propaganda, gaslighting, demonization, demagoguery, and outright lying. Using their collective wealth they have become masters of reprisal.”
“I am under no obligation whatsoever, legal, moral, or otherwise, to like jews and I do not. If that means I meet the jewish definition of an anti-semite, so be it.”
Canada has seen a steep spike in antisemitic attacks over the past two years, including a recent incident in Montreal where a Hasidic Jew was beaten in front on his children.
After Prime Minister Mark Carney condemned the incident, many, including former Israel’s ambassador the US Michael Oren, pointed out that Carney’s rhetoric and policies contribute to the increasing insecurity of Canada’s Jewish community through uncritical embrace of outrageous and easily disprovable allegations that Israel and its supporters were guilty of the worst crimes against humanity.
