It’s just performative because they don’t want to actually do anything meaningful (like the people who protested at a museum a few months back)

Surprise Zarah Sultana wasn’t there. Not like her to miss a chance to make an idiot of herself

I’d rather the protestors were all at home on hunger strike themselves and let the rest of us shop.

I want a free and independent Palestine but I don’t know who these chants are meant to be aimed at. The UK isn’t preventing it, we’ve spent the last 80 years actively trying to abet it.
As soon as the regimes in Israel and Palestine (and Iran) are all willing to let it happen, it will happen. Until then we can’t do shit. The ball is so so far from our court.

This decade showed that any nation who wants itself to be stable in the long run, needs to keep its teenagers busy with meaningfull stuff lest they’re mobilized by all the omnicauses on social media

“Support the hunger strikers”, most of whom have now ditched the strike because (a) they weren’t getting enough attention and (b) they wanted to partake in prison Christmas dinner.
I have never seen as many women in face-coverings as I have around Westfield (that’s as a visitor from Scotland, though – I’ve never set foot in e.g. Tower Hamlets). Still, the demographics mean this isn’t a surprise. As a private place of business, Westfield had every right to eject them and their remove their paraphernalia.

I really want these people to F-off. Why is every action in life now filtered through this lense now and why are people going along with it? Why is my local council having to make statements about the conflict when their role is to empty my bins and get my pot holes filled? Why does the NHS, BMA and other public and private bodies have a “official position” on the conflict when it has nothing to do with them?
The backlash against this sort of madness will probably be felt at the local and national ballot box with the likes of Reform getting in and then we will ALL have issues.

Such an idiotic thing to chant when the only people that can ‘free Palestine’ are Palestinians. When they stop attacking Israel and give up on their goal of genociding Israel and put their children first, a two state solution will be possible. The only people in the way of peace are Palestinians.
Was this organised by that Hamas operative, Zaher Birawi, who has apparently organised a few ‘free Palestine’ marches? The anti-semites supporting terrorism that participate in this are one thing, but the well meaning gullible idiots are so infuriating.

What exactly are they hoping to achieve by this?
