Why are protesters marching in London?

There are two sets of protests being held in the capital today, including one by the Palestine Solidarity Campaign and other groups, and a counter-protest organised by Stop the Hate

But supporting terrorist organisations is illegal now ? Or just certain ones?

If they were Brits protesting, the police would have brought out the riot shields - but because they're immigrants, they are given a free pass.

Why arent they protesting about Iran's oppression of its own people? Or is that too much of a leap for their intellects?

[Ahura_Mazda]

Just tell me that if non muslim individuals would assemble and protest in Islamic country what would their destiny be like?

[Markstevens]

Who’s behind all the wars terrorism corruption and every misery in this world

[curls]

Only a few years ago who'd have thought we'd see scenes like this in the UK.

[TheGreatest]

Because half the people in London are FROM THERE.

Interesting how it’s ok to protest for foreign affairs and supporting terrorism but any sign of a British or St George’s flag and ur a far right hooligan.
If there so upset why not go over there and help!

[nowhere]

They're very supportive as long they're at a safe distance. Go fight there for the cause instead of here.

Wrong to let this take place in our country

[davenarey]

This isn't a protest, it's occupation.

[moonie-zwby]

Im tired of these " protests". I'm of a generation that can remember the government attacking miners and anti poll tax demonstrators for less than this. 2 tier policing.

[Sam-yd]

I don’t know what they think standing outside together in London will achieve in the Middle East

[Pelleus]

No signs condemning Hezzbollah or Hamas.

[Alanelliott-ny]

Ban their flags.and stop them disrupting London.if they feel so strongly they should be there not here

[julianmeagher]

If these people are so concerned, then let them go to their relevant countries which they support and start making changes there!
British streets should be no places for such pointless protests which do absolutely nothing affecting the real situations

[TheDevilsAccountant]

Weird how they weren't protesting before the Hamas terrorist attack but are now.

[Nelson]

Are they English? Do they speak English? Do they respect English culture and traditions?

[Brenzarlo]

Wow, the racism on this comment section is unbelievable!

Rwanda: 800, 000 Tutsis or 70% of the population killed. Armenia: 1.5 million Armenians killed in 3 years. Gaza: 0.9 to 1.68% (including Hamas fighters) of the population killed. Based on the available evidence, the media is not justified in referring to Israel's actions in Gaza as genocide. The term "genocide" has a specific legal definition, requiring both intent to destroy a group and the commission of specific acts. While there are widespread "accusations" of disproportionate force and war crimes related to civilian casualties, labeling the conflict as genocide would require a definitive legal determination of genocidal intent, which has NOT been established by international bodies or courts at this time. While the death toll is tragic and represents a significant loss of life, the proportion of Gaza's population killed does not meet the numerical thresholds associated with genocides like Rwanda or the Holocaust, where a significant part of a population is deliberately targeted for destruction.
