Hundreds of thousands march in London to call for ceasefire in Israel-Hamas conflict
Hundreds of thousands of protesters gathered in central London on Saturday 11 November, calling for a ceasefire in Israel's war against Hamas. Expected to be the biggest demonstration in a single day over the Israel-Palestine conflict to date, the march began at midday, shortly after an Armistice Da...
Well…over a million marched in London to put a stop to Brexit and it didn’t do anything. Considering this conflict is even less so under the control of the British government I’m not sure what this march will do a damn thing.
Even if nothing comes of it, even if no policy is changed, it's still important for people to (peacefully) express their opposition to something they disagree with, rather than meekly accept whatever their government does.
This applies to any such protest, not just today's.
It's also important that they get out and vote for change when they have a chance.
So tired of "protests are useless" posting. There are good ways to make a critique of a movements but this is not it.
The past decade around the globe protest movements exploded into radical restructuring of various countries' way of governing. This particular protest doesn't seem like it will evolve into that, but no one ever predicted the outcome of past eruptions.
A protest isn't a reliable or advisable way to create a revolution, but they are still great organizing opportunities and solidarity building events.
Please stop with the nihilism
I was there. Well worth it just to see that good people do exist.
The people are not part of it anymore. They haven’t been listened to in a very long time.
From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free
Why do right wingers say this chant is antisemitic?
Because they're attracted to children.
Because they want to equate zionism and Judaism.
Because they want a reason to be mad.
Conflating antizionism and antisemitism is antisemitic, do not make a similar report again.
Oi bruv you got a license for that opinion?
With the Tory government in charge it won't be long until we really do start hearing this from our police officers
Did people march like this for Ukraine?
No, because the British government didn't support Russia politically or sell them weapons, or tell them, "We hope you win".
Why would they , the UK government was supporting Ukraine, what would a march be protesting against?
In Canada they got in huge trouble over a standing ovation for a "Ukrainian war hero" who fought communism as a member of, uh oh, the S.S.
No mate, what's your point? Are you seriously comparing Israel to Russia, you antisemite you...
Not really related to the articles but the little article image thumbnail thing kinda looks like an angry eye.
