Repost: "Gaza protests in London have cost more than £32 million in policing"

From a TOI article in 2019 when Londoners protested that Jews took over the world.
The conspiracies have gotten worse.

Why I’m Reposting

Below is a quick reminder that Western Countries are paying heavily (money and pride) to protect their citizens from Free Palestine. This data comes from UK. Imagine what the US is spending, where highways have been repeatedly shut down due to these terrorist-apologist temper tantrums, and, to name just one of many incidents, the National Guard had to be sent to NYC the day after a fake grenade was found at one of their hate rallies.

I’ll cover this more indepth later: EDM-tabloid Mixmag spent weeks hyping up their own ‘anti-hate’ rally, banning Jewish symbols and outright saying they refuse to acknowledge the state of Israel (despite claiming to be ‘anti-xenophobia’). This came after multiple Mixmag articles doxxed a London club owner for the crime of being Israeli (Jewish). The same tabloid had a total of ONE article on Nova, arguably the biggest news story to ever hit the music world. About half of that article tried justifying murdering ravers for their identity. The host of Mixmag’s hate demonstration was none other than the most famous Londoner antisemite out there—no, not Wiley—Jeremy Corbyn.

No wonder Lee Kern is always begging Londoner Jews to get out. I’d never take my chances in the birthplace of colonialism, especially post-Brexit when they seem even more desperate to point fingers. London feels more tolerant of constant stabbings and sharia law than Jewish pride. London’s pick-me Jews (cough cough David Baddiel) aren’t helping, and won’t be spared when things get bad. Pick-me’s don’t go to synogugue so they won’t be first to suffer.

Gaza protests in London have cost more than £32 million in policing

Commander Karen Findlay, who will oversee policing across London on Saturday, said people committing criminal offenses during protests would be dealt with “decisively and swiftly”.

A Palestine Solidarity Campaign (PSC) march will take place in central London this weekend, the fifth major demonstration of the year so far in the city. The group said it was expecting “hundreds of thousands of people” to march from Hyde Park Corner to the US Embassy.

The Metropolitan Police said the policing of such protests since October 7 had required 35,464 officer shifts and more than 5,200 officer rest days to be cancelled, at a cost of £32.3 million. It added that a “robust policing plan” was in place for a “busy weekend in the capital”.

Commander Karen Findlay, who will oversee policing across London on Saturday, said people committing criminal offenses during protests would be dealt with “decisively and swiftly”.

In a statement, Findlay said: “We are clearly operating in a context where we understand our Jewish and Muslim communities continue to be highly concerned about antisemitic and anti-Muslim hate crime and their sense of safety in London.”

Findlay also expressed an understanding of the anxiety and fear people feel as a result of perceived or actual threats. She added that their “role remains to police impartially … and ensuring [the] protest is managed within the law.”

Findlay’s statement comes as the government’s counter-extremism official warned that London’s streets have become a “no-go zone for Jews” during pro-Palestinian protests.

Robin Simcox said a “permissive environment for radicalization” was developing as he welcomed the government’s forthcoming new definition of extremism.

PSC director Ben Jamal said: “Despite further attempts by Government Ministers, including the Prime Minister, and Lord Walney, to demonize those protesting and suppress calls for a ceasefire, hundreds of thousands will again be taking to the streets, calling for an end to Israel’s genocidal war on the Palestinian people.

“We will continue to protest until a ceasefire is called, and until there is an end to all UK complicity with Israel’s decades-long oppression of the Palestinian people.”

The organizer of a counter-protest in London said such demonstrations mean “Jews can’t go out in the street”.

“No-go zones” for Jewish people

Itai Galmudy said that pro-Palestinian demonstrations had created “no-go zones for Jewish people” in the capital and “ballooned into anti-Israeli hate marches”. Galmudy said he organized Saturday afternoon’s counter-protest with a “collective of people that share the same frustrations” with the pro-Palestinian marches.

He said he was “very concerned” that counter-protesters might encounter violence.

Galmudy told the PA news agency: “We will just not accept that Jews can’t go out in the street because somebody wants to protest. “Those marches have ballooned into anti-Israeli hate marches, and we think it’s enough. We don’t want to live in fear, and we will not accept it.

"There is no room in our society for protests that don’t allow other people to live next to them,” he added.

Galmudy, aware that some individuals might be afraid to take the risk of encountering violence, said he was expecting “50-100 people maximum” to attend the counter-protest. He said: “We know that [pro-Palestinian] protests are not as peaceful as some people tell us they are.” Galmudy also expressed concern for the UK, saying that to him, it seems the country is “letting the mob run” it.
