    This is the best summary I could come up with:

    Aerial footage showed large crowds setting off on the march organised by the Palestine Solidarity Campaign, with the protest due to end outside the Houses of Parliament after passing Prime Minister Rishi Sunak’s Downing Street office.

    Echoing Washington’s stance, Sunak’s government has stopped short of calling for a ceasefire, and instead advocated humanitarian pauses to allow aid to reach people in Gaza.

    London police have faced criticism in recent days for not being tougher over slogans shouted by some protesters during another pro-Palestinian march in the capital last week, which drew about 100,000 people.

    Ahead of Saturday’s event, police warned there was no place for hate crime and said 2,000 officers would be on duty across the city.

    Earlier, Foreign Secretary James Cleverly urged those taking part in pro-Palestinian protests to be wary of disinformation and manipulation.

    When asked by a reporter if there was a risk of Iran or other foreign actors hijacking protests to stoke unrest, Cleverly said: “It is perfectly possible to support the Palestinian people but also to condemn Hamas.”

    Where was this when they literally declared war and said “the enemy will pay an unprecedented price?” What did the Palestinian supporters think would happen exactly?

      One does not declare war on a military occupation. You are already at war. Israel has been the occupying power for the past 50 years.

          Gaza has been under blockade since 2006. If gaza was a state then they would have been at war since 2006 because a blockade is an act of war.

          Gaza is under Israeli control even though Israel does not have any soldiers there. Under the Geneva Conventions, Israel is the occupying power. This is recognised by most governments in the world, the UN and all human rights organisations.

          It has been economically blockaded since then and has been regularly attacked by Israel.

      Why do you need to protest Hamas’ actions when you know they don’t have the ability to attain it? Even now we see them being bombed constantly by Israel in retaliation. Do you think protesting Hamas in London would achieve anything better than what Israel can already dish out?

      On the other hand, nobody is doing enough to stop the genocide Israel is performing on Palenstine’s civilians, so which one of these two issues do you think a protest in another country is more likely to affect?

      They sat at home and rooted for Hamas of course. That’s why there are never any protests against Hamas - who have supposedly taken the people of Gaza hostage and launch attacks at Israel that the civilians don’t agree with.

        If the civilians don’t agree with it, why is it okay for Israel to kill them by the thousands?

        If you have to lie to yourself to believe something, you’re not going down a good path.

        That’s why there are never any protests against Hamas

        Hamas isn’t committing genocidal actions against Palestinians. Also they’re a far right group, what do you think happens to outspoken critics of them?

      Israel has killed many of the captives through their terror bombing campaign.

        Sounds like hamas should return their hostages. Israel isn’t going to just surrender because Hamas is trying to use kidnapped civilians as human shields. They know that would be crazy.

          Let’s be real, Israel deemed the hostages dead the moment they crossed into Gaza. So stop finding an excuse for your genocide.

    There was a ceasefire in place on October 7.
