If you invite the world, you inherit the world’s conflicts.
British streets have been the stage for the latest war in the Middle East between Israel and those who yearn for its destruction. The day after the Hamas pogrom saw a large demonstration outside the Israeli embassy, before any retaliation by Israel for the slaughter of 1,400 of its citizens. This was not protest, but a celebration of the atrocity. Then, for five Saturdays in a row, we have seen increasingly large marches through the centre of London, numbering 100,000 or more each time. These were supposedly pro-Palestine, but in reality, they were anti-Israel. Each march has seen widespread antisemitism, terror sympathising, and increasingly violent behaviour. The march to Trafalgar Square on 4 November ended in violence against the police.
