      >The PSC had planned to assemble outside the corporation’s London headquarters for a march to Whitehall in protest against what organisers had described as the “pro-Israel bias” of the BBC’s coverage.

      Pro-Israel bias are they for real? Jeremy Bowen seems to absolutely hate Israel and he’s the BBC’s main reporter on the situation.

      So the met police asked pro Palestinian march to make a different route that didn’t pass a synagogue, the march refused and so the met decided to stop the march from happening. Seems to me they’ve really shot themselves in the foot with this one. If these marches have nothing to do with the sharp rise in antisemitism, should be absolutely fine to divert the march.

      > Scotland Yard has banned a pro-Palestine march from gathering outside the BBC’s London headquarters next week, owing to its proximity to a synagogue.

      WTH does that have to do with ***anything***?

      Or are they intentionally conflating criticism of Israel with anitsemitism?

      I wonder how many protestors know many times Palestine representatives had the chance for a two-state solution in the past, and refused to agree to it? Not many I guess.

      Sad for the actual Palestinians (not the protestors) who could have had decades of peace by now.

      Protesting against the BBC for their Gaza war coverage is like vegans protesting outside of the quorn factory – they’re shouting against the people that are wholly on their side already.

      I wonder if the free speech advocates will be taking the side of the pro-Palestinian marchers?
