Hunt for protesters who taped images of Hamas terrorists on their back

Hunt for the pro-Hamas protesters: Suella Braverman warns ‘the police are coming’ as she vows crackdown on anyone ‘mocking murder of Jews’ – as cops hunt women wearing images of paragliding terrorists and activist taunts Israel supporters about Holocaust

  • The Metropolitan Police has released a more distinct image of a woman who had a picture on her back.

The Metropolitan Police recently shared a more distinct image of one of the two women they are trying to locate. These women were seen wearing jackets with pictures of paragliders, which were believed to show support for Hamas. Suella Braverman cautioned that ‘the police are on their way’.

The Metropolitan Police stated that the incident is being regarded as a public order violation following their observation of a group marching towards Trafalgar Square yesterday.

The two individuals were participating in a march advocating for Palestine. The woman wearing a red jacket was observed chanting the phrase “Britain is a terrorist state.”

Both women are of African descent, and the woman wearing red also had a light blue face mask, blue and black pants, and was holding a purple bag.

It came as Home Secretary Ms Braverman issued a stark warning to demonstrators, accusing some of glorifying terrorism and promoting genocide, as she said: ‘To all those who saw fit to promote genocide, glorify terrorism and mock the murder of Jewish people, including women and babies – the police are coming for you.’ 

The Metropolitan Police spokesperson stated that authorities are seeking to identify two women who were present at the protests yesterday, as part of their investigation into a public order violation.

Currently, we only possess a frontal image of the woman wearing red. We kindly request these women or anyone with knowledge of their identity to get in touch with the authorities.

Protestors gather in Whitehall, outside Downing Street, on October 14, 2023

On October 14, 2023, demonstrators assemble in Whitehall, located outside Downing Street.

A man who allegedly made racist remarks will face a court hearing next month during the march.

A man who is 67 years old has been arrested and charged with deliberately causing racially motivated harassment, causing alarm or distress.

It is claimed that he made racist comments towards individuals assembled in Whitehall and a law enforcement officer.

The police force stated that the man was taken into custody for verbally attacking individuals assembled in Whitehall with racial slurs, as well as directing racist remarks towards an officer who engaged in conversation with him.

The man had a UK flag in his possession, but it is important to note that this was not the cause of his arrest and is not included in the charges against him.

The individual accused has been granted bail until their scheduled appearance at Westminster Magistrates’ Court on November 2.

It was by paraglider that Hamas terrorists floated into Israel exactly a week earlier, cutting down revellers at a music festival with machine gun fire from the air.

Yesterday evening, confrontations occurred between the police and a group of 100 individuals causing trouble in Trafalgar Square. The police resorted to using their batons to control the situation as the troublemakers, some of whom had their faces concealed, were reluctant to vacate the premises. According to Scotland Yard, seven individuals were apprehended.

There were plenty of placards issuing injunctions – Free Palestine, BBC Go to Hell, End Israel State Terror, and so on. And others accusing Israel of crimes against humanity. The crowd was addressed by former Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn, who called on political leaders to condemn Israel’s ‘war crimes’ in Gaza.

Afterwards, a group of several hundred demonstrators attempted to walk towards the Israeli embassy in West London. The police blocked off the roads and had previously given a command to disperse, warning protesters to avoid the vicinity or risk being apprehended.

Police officers equipped with riot gear and batons obstructed the adjacent streets using metal barricades in order to prevent the activists from proceeding. A significant number of the activists were seen holding sizable Palestinian flags. They lingered for a brief period before dispersing and fading into the darkness.

Prime Minister Rishi Sunak expressed his unwavering support for Israel in a statement.

Condemning the ‘horror and barbarism unleashed in Israel a week ago’, he said: ‘To the people of Israel, I say Britain is with you. What took place was an act of pure evil and Israel has every right to defend itself. We will do everything we can to support Israel in restoring the security it deserves.

Jeremy Corbyn speaks and gets and enthusiastic response during a pro-Palestine march on October 14

On October 14, Jeremy Corbyn addresses a pro-Palestine march and receives a highly enthusiastic reaction.

‘To our Jewish community in the UK: I know you are hurting and reeling from these vile terrorist acts. At moments like this, when Jewish people are under attack in their homeland, Jewish people everywhere can feel less safe. We’ve seen intimidating behaviour and shameful antisemitism online and on our streets with attempts to stir up tensions. I say: not here. Not in Britain. Not in our country. Not in this century.

We are committed to taking all necessary measures to ensure the safety of Jewish individuals within our nation. If there are any obstacles hindering the security of the Jewish community, we will address and resolve them.

He concluded his message with the phrase “Am Yisrael Cha,” which translates to “The people of Israel live” in Hebrew.

In an article for The Mail on Sunday, James Cleverly, the Foreign Secretary, stated that it is incorrect to compare the atrocious acts committed by Hamas with Israel’s legitimate right to protect itself. It is important to fully understand the principles that Hamas upholds. They follow a distorted ideology that leads them to harm and kidnap individuals solely based on their presence in Israel, including festival attendees, members of kibbutzim, advocates for peace, and Arab Israelis, among others.

Sir Keir Starmer, the leader of the Labour party, emphasized the need for complete intolerance towards any rise in antisemitism or Islamophobia.

The Pro-Palestine protest in London turned ugly as activists started hurling objects at police

Activists at the Pro-Palestine demonstration in London became violent by throwing objects at the police.

Yesterday, amidst the multitude of flags and signs parading through London, there was not a single one that mentioned peace. There was no discussion about the tragic killings of innocent infants and children by Hamas militants near the Gaza border, nor the devastating music festival assault that claimed the lives of over 260 individuals.

Alan Pledger, a radiologist from Lewisham, South London, expressed that today’s focus is on Gaza and the actions of Israelis towards the Palestinian people, as well as their future intentions.

The protest, occurring amidst a growing concern about antisemitism and the shutdown of certain Jewish schools due to security concerns, commenced near the BBC’s main office shortly before 1pm.

It followed a route from Regent Street to Haymarket, then to Trafalgar Square, and ultimately ended at a stage that was set up in front of the Cenotaph in Whitehall.

A pensioner from Surrey, who spoke eloquently, mentioned that he participated in this cause over two decades ago. He stated that he decided to join the march and also visit the galleries. He purchased a Palestinian flag for £15 from a seller near Oxford Circus Tube station.

The march reached the theatre-goers of Haymarket. Bill and Kate Burden, both 67, from Kettering stared with bemusement at the parade of flags and placards as helicopters circled above. ‘It all seems so aggressive, doesn’t it?’ said Kate, ‘Like something from another country, like, well, the Middle East.’

A disturbance occurred at Trafalgar Square when a spectator expressed their disapproval to the gathering crowd.
