“Pro-Palestine protesters shut down Tower Bridge in #London on Saturday, shortly after thousands attended a mass protest in Trafalgar Square and Whitehall.”

“… the Met Police stated that the groups had been dispersed and several arrests had been made.”

“A group named Youth Demand claimed to have been part of a coalition that organized the event and shut down the bridge.
“Youth Demand said it demanded that the UK government stop arming Israel…”

“The other groups involved were the Palestine Solidarity Campaign, Prayers4Gaza, Palestine Pulse, Thanet 4 Palestine, and Ealing Friends of Palestine.”

    It really bothers me thay they use pro-palestine language, when what this is about is being against genocide.

      Being pro-palestine is not at the cost of anyone or anything else. There is no meaningful difference.

        I suspect that the OP is referring to pro-hamas and pro-hezbollah actions at the protest. Since both are terror organizations who not only have genocidal goals against jews and christian arabs, but also actively harm and oppress arabs in Israel, Gaza, the West Bank and Lebanon.

      Are you drawing the line of what is acceptable to protest between protesting for an end to genocide and protesting for the rights of Palestinians to govern themselves, rather than be at the bottom of the hierarchy in an apartheid government?

      Anti-genocide and pro-Palestine are the same thing in this case.
