More than 200,000 pro-Palestinian and anti-Israel protesters marched in central London on Saturday as part of a “global day of action” to oppose Israel’s offensive in the Gaza Strip.
Around 1,700 police were on duty for the march. Major demonstrations have taken place in London on most Saturdays since the war was sparked by Hamas’s October 7 massacre, when thousands of terrorists rampaged through southern Israeli communities, murdering some 1,200 people, mostly civilians slaughtered amid brutal atrocities, and kidnapping over 240 to Gaza.
The Metropolitan Police of London said they had arrested three people for handing out leaflets praising the October 7 onslaught during the rally.
The flyer voiced “unconditional and wholehearted support and solidarity for the Palestinian struggle, which is once more breaking out into armed resistance. As it was bound to do.”
“We communists join together with all progressive humanity in congratulating the Palestinian people and their chosen leadership on the audacious, daring and effective military action they are now taking against the last settler-colonial apartheid state, that monstrous proxy for Anglo-American imperialism, usurper of the Palestinian lands, rights and nationhood, Zionist Israel,” it added.
