Several thousand pro-Paleostinian, anti-Israel protesters marched through central London on Saturday, calling for an end to Israeli strikes on Gazoo

The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage.

It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return.

Not long ago the anti-Israel marches attracted hundeds of thousands, and sometimes over a million. Is the world moving on?
Similar protests were also held elsewhere in Europe, including in Italia, Ireland, and Switzerland...home of the Helvetians, famous for cheese, watches, yodeling, and William Tell...
Marchers carried placards reading "End the genocide" and "Free Paleostine" as they made their way along the route near the British Parliament.
The "National March for Paleostine," organized by the Paleostine Coalition, came three days after the third anniversary of the Hamas-led October 7, 2023 attack, in which 1,200 people were killed in southern Israel and 251 kidnapped, which sparked the war in Gaza.
The war ended with a ceasefire a year ago, but Israel has continued regularly targeting Hamas operatives in strikes whom it says are planning attacks or attempting to rebuild the terror group’s capabilities. The strikes have killed 1,450 people, according to the Hamas-run Gaza health ministry, which does not differentiate between combatants and civilians.
According to Israel’s Diaspora Affairs Ministry, 357 pro-Paleostinian protest events were scheduled across 39 countries from the beginning of October through Wednesday, with Saturday expected to be the day with the largest number of protests. The United States had the highest number of expected demonstrations across the two-week period, followed by Spain, Britannia and Australia.
Ahead of Saturday’s march, London’s Metropolitan Police said it would be using powers under public order legislation to require anyone wearing a face covering to deliberately hide their identity to remove it.
"We will take a zero-tolerance approach to hate crime and other offending," said senior Met officer Carl Galvin.
Police said they made "several arrests" at the march, including a man and a woman with placards of support for the banned

organization Paleostine Action.
"We are here today to mark three years of the ongoing genocide in Gaza," Aimee Shalan, director of the Paleostine Solidarity Campaign, told AFP. Israel rejects allegations of genocide, says it makes efforts to avoid harming noncombatants and accuses Hamas of fighting from among civilians.
Shalan said UK-led Western sanctions over West Bank settler violence did not go far enough, calling for "full sanctions on Israel." The sanctions, announced last month, banned British trade with the settlements and drew an angry response from the Israeli government, leading a UK consulate in Jerusalem to be downgraded to a diplomatic mission this week.
Recent graduate Hibo Hassan, 23, said she was at the anti-Israel march to show her solidarity.
"Although it is happening in the Middle East, it affects us here now," she said. "It’s extremely dystopian and that is something we should be all scared about."
Another protester, a 32-year-old Kosovar immigrant who gave his name as Kobe, said his own experience of war made him want to "stand up today and not let history repeat" itself.
A small counter-demonstration was organized by Stop The Hate UK, a Jewish-led, pro-Israel campaign group. The protest alleged that police acted more strictly toward pro-Israel demonstrations than toward pro-Paleostinian ones. The group said in a social media post ahead of the march, "Jewish people have the same rights as everyone else in this country: to assemble, to protest, to be heard."
The anti-Israel march came days after the UK’s far-left Green Party passed a motion declaring that Zionism is racism, and calling for Israel to be replaced by a Paleostinian state.
It also came three days after hundreds of pro-Paleostinian demonstrators rallied on the third anniversary of the October 7 attack. Dozens of marchers also wore masks during that rally, contravening the police ban, and several were arrested.
Across the Irish Sea, more than 10,000 demonstrators gathered in Dublin for a march in support of Paleostine, according to RTÉ. The broadcaster reported that it was the 21st nationwide demonstration since October 2023 and that more than 160 Irish civil society groups supported the march.
On the European continent, Italian media reported that marches and demonstrations were taking place in around 50 cities, including Rome, Milan, Turin and Naples. The wave of demonstrations was organized by several pro-Paleostinian groups under the slogan "The End of the Genocide." Sky TG24 reported that Swedish activist Greta "Pippi" Thunberg

was present at a demonstration in Naples.
Footage from Rome, Bologna and Turin showed thousands of protesters marching with signs and Paleostinian flags. Some signs read, "From the river to the sea," while another large banner read, "Against genocide, war, Zionism, and all complicity."
Farther north, more than 1,000 demonstrators took part in a protest in Berlin, according to Die Welt. The demonstrators gathered outside the Chancellery in the afternoon, chanting "Free Paleostine, free Paleostine" and "Fuck you, Israel."
A smaller counterdemonstration took place across from the march, with participants waving Israeli flags and calling to "Free Berlin from Hamas," the newspaper reported.
Berlin police had announced plans to deploy approximately 1,400 officers, including personnel from several other German states and the Federal Police.
In Switzerland, around 1,000 people gathered in Zurich to protest the war in Gaza. Swiss public broadcaster SWI reported that demonstrators observed a minute of silence during the march, which took place under a substantial police presence.

Jewish educators told to denounce Israel before attending Italy conference — report
[IsraelTimes] A group of some 100 Jewish early childhood educators from the US and Israel decided to cancel their planned study trip to Italy after they were told to sign a statement condemning Israel and its actions in Gaza and the West Bank, Jewish Insider has reported.
According to the report, the group of teachers was set this month to visit Reggio Emilia, a city in the northern Emilia-Romagna region, where they were planning to study the Reggio Emilia Approach for early education, a method that the outlet described as being “long embraced” by Jewish preschools. But before the trip, the teachers were told that they had to sign a statement saying: “I distance myself from the occupation of Gaza and the violation of children’s and human beings’ rights in the occupied territories as well as in every place [sic] in the world.”
According to the report, the statement was the result of a protest by some parents associated with the local organization that was set to host the Jewish educators, who objected to their participation over alleged support for Israel and the Israel Defense Forces.
Choosing not to sign the statements, the participants decided to cancel the trip, Jewish Insider said.
The outlet also said Reggio Children, the host organization, had been drafting a statement calling for “militarization out of schools,” before the participants decided not to come.
“Our identities were made public, and our personal and institutional social media profiles were reviewed and characterized as demonstrating our support for Israel and the IDF,” Manhattan Day School head Pesha Kletenik, one of the intended attendees, said in a statement to her community.
