Yes, clearly pro Palestine marches causing this.
Not children being murdered in Gaza and Lebanon.

People at these protests chanting “Globalise the intifada” were referring to Jews in general
Everyone knew it but were too scared to call it out as the threshold for you to be branded a “Zionist” and marked for attack is so low that any action which undermines the “Resistance” even if just someone trying to weed out extremist elements who harm the Pro Palestinian cause is all it takes for you to be branded “the enemy”
I’ve been called a Zionist, Mossad spy and spreader of “Hasbara” simply for saying Antisemitism like Islamophobia is wrong
It’s good the government seem to want to now deal with it but I fear it’s too little too late, Stop The War Coalition by its own admission are now just holding a protest to spite the government and after what happened with PA we know people at the protests in general are now going to deliberately hold up offensive signs purely to offer cover to the actual extremist elements

I would support a crackdown on some of the messaging displayed during marches. I don’t think it’s defensible to be going around saying “globalise the intifada” at this point. I would not support anything further than that and I certainly don’t think the marches should be banned, not that Starmer is suggesting doing that.

The perpetrator of the Golders Green attack was brought to the attention of Prevent in 2020, way before the anti-genocide marches started. Seems like a really dangerous step to try to conflate his antisemitic actions with legitimate protestors.
No need to go full Israel because there was an antisemite attack, you’re encouraging more by cracking down on largely peaceful protests.

Here we go, a terrorist does an objectively awful thing and now that somehow clears Israel of their bad things and protesting against it is antisemitic

He’s using this to push his own agenda against these protests. Labour may have officially lost my vote with this. I have no idea who I’m voting for now at the next GE.

Of course, blame free speechers rather than the police who already had him on their radar for six years and letting him (alongside others in the last year alone) slip.

Is there any actual connection between the attacker and pro-Palestine marches? Did he attend any? did he post “Globalise the intifada” on X?

Does the protest against the war in Israel count?
