Well apparently anyone who has an issue with the marches is a Bibi supporter, so I guess we are where we are.

Until I see/hear them saying ‘Free Palestine from Hamas’ then it is ‘all’.
All protestors are besotted with Hamas, they wish Hamas ran the UK and we loved under Sharia law.
They are the type who would say “well, I’ve lost all my rights as a woman, but hey! we have Hamas in No 10! High Five!!!!” That is their mentality.

Prove me I am wrong.
Show me the mountain of evidence of the protesters renouncing Hamas?

Question is what do people want? Do you want going in hard? Kettling? Snatch squads? That will end up in a riot, a literal riot, and the cracked heads could include Tabitha and Jocasta from Rickmansworth, not just whichever hardline Hamas terrorist nutter from Barnet, or some right wing née football hooligan from Millwall.

Why should it matter whether it's Jocasta, Yusha or Josh? Preach hatred and you should be dealt with.

It doesn't, however that ignores the practical issue of the mixture of protestors. There are clearly some who should be dragged out, arrested, cuffed and charged. Alongside them may be silly sods out for the day for the likes on social media.

So if there's a TSG style snatch and it then really kicks off we just know the narrative will be focussed on Tabitha and Jocasta out for the LoLs but ending up in a cell or even worse A and E.

Rock and a hard place.

here the police are being incredibly brave

Oh, we know that they could do it. The question is how long they wait before they do it. As thinking it will just fizzle out in due course hasn't been sucessful yet. It is only millions of taxpayers money they are wasting not there own cash.

Not fizzling out on their own isn’t a justification for clamping down on protest.

The protests have been largely peaceful and well behaved.

Every gathering of people is largely peaceful, guess we do not actually need police at any of them. Such a stupid thing to say as justification for ignoring those who miss behave. Most shoppers are not shoplifters so why have laws against stealing. Oh wait, yes I see your point.

[ZedLeg]

That’s stupid

[President Merkin]

Not been in here for a bit. Quite the eye opener seeing the fear in a bunch of middle aged white guys,who don't live anywhere near the capital & possessed of questionable spelling ability over a bunch of people walking slowly through London, disagreeing with the systematic, one sided destruction of a captive population.

You made the claim - it's not for anyone else to do either of those things.

And pointless. Waste of police time and taxpayers money.

Who get’s to decides which protests have a good point?

It would help if the government of the day was in a position to do something about the cause the protestors are protesting for. Given neither Israel or Hamas could give a flying proverbial what our government does I would put this protest under the pointless category.

The government could stop sending arms to Israel.

They could call for a ceasefire. They could vote for sanctions against Israel. They could stop weapons exports to israel.

Questions have already been raised https://commonslibrary.parliament.uk/research-brie... - lobbying our MPs is the way to get these things done - not wasting the weekend making Jewish people in London afraid to walk the streets.

[ZedLeg]

Public protest is a well established and recognised method of getting political attention for a cause.

Trying to paint hundreds of thousands of people as anti semitic doesn’t change that.

This is a form of lobbying and you don't just stop because "somebody's asked a question". The stuff about "jewish people being afraid to walk the streets" is the latest line of BS in an attempt to get the protests shut down, along with trying to get various things made illegal.
