A high-security Israeli Independence Day celebration inside the British Museum was confronted by a ‘pro-Palestine’ protest outside, on Tuesday, May 13th.
Hosted by Israeli ambassador and target of the Left, Tzipi Hotovely, the event marked Israel’s 77th year and commemorated the heroism of Aner Shapira, the 22-year-old who was murdered with an RPG while fighting off, with a broken bottle, some of the Nova music festival’s attackers.
Outside the building, protestors chanted “Zionists out,” which to many ears sounds like “Jews out.” A plucky counter-demonstration initiated by Our Fight UK responded with “Zionists In!” placards.
The soft-touch approach of the London Metropolitan Police was criticised online, again, as some ‘pro-Palestine’ demonstrators appeared to be getting away with incitement to violence.
