Police stood by as “From the River to the Sea” was projected onto Parliament, a senior Jewish MP has said.
Andrew Percy, a Tory backbencher, raised concerns after pro-Palestine protesters broadcast the slogan “From the river to the sea” onto the Elizabeth Tower, which houses Big Ben, on Wednesday night.
He spoke out during a Commons debate that saw many MPs express fears for their safety and warn that threats from “Islamist extremists” were stifling democracy.
In disgusting scenes last night at Parliament, MPs voted on Gaza ceasefire amendments, a pro-Palestinian mob gathered outside.
One projected onto the Parliament the genocidal "free Palestine from the river to the sea." Illegal, but the @metpoliceuk did absolutely nothing. pic.twitter.com/RN1IIsBd06
