UK anti-Israel group planned protest as Hamas slaughtered Israelis

“This revelation ends the charade that the Palestine Solidarity Campaign is a peaceful advocacy group,” says Jewish watchdog group.

An anti-Israel group in the UK planned and organized a protest against Israel on October 7th, 2023, while Hamas terrorists were still rampaging through southern Israel, committing atrocities including rape and the slaughter of children and the elderly, according to a bombshell report.

British news outlet The Telegraph revealed last week that an organizer from the Palestine Solidarity Campaign called London police on October 7th and asked for permission to organize an anti-Israel protest a week later, which was granted.

The phone call was made during the Hamas onslaught, long before Israel responded to the invasion or acted in any way against the Gaza-based terror organization.

“The Met was contacted on Saturday, Oct. 7 at approximately 12:50 p.m., via telephone call and informed of the intention to protest,” a police spokesperson told The Telegraph, in response to a Freedom of Information request made by the outlet.

“The Met committed this to our systems on the same day and are satisfied being contacted by telephone was a sufficient means in which to notify the MPS as the event was taking place seven days after notification.”

Speaking to the Telegraph, a spokesman for the Palestine Solidarity Campaign claimed that they were justified in organizing the protest while Israelis were still being slaughtered, due to the expected response by Israel towards Hamas.

Even on October 7th, as Israel was scrambling to organize troops and save southern communities that had been invaded by terrorists, it was “already clear” that Israel would retaliate with “indiscriminate violence.”

The spokesman also charged that anyone questioning the timing of the protest is trying to “deflect attention from the crimes against humanity that Israel has committed.”

A Jewish advocacy group said that the report proved that anti-Israel demonstrations in the UK are primarily based in support for terror and Jew-hatred, rather than their stated goals of protesting the actions of the Israeli government.

“This revelation ends the charade that the Palestine Solidarity Campaign is a peaceful advocacy group,” watchdog group the Campaign Against Antisemitism told the Daily Mail.

“For sixteen months, the Metropolitan Police has allowed regular anti-Israel marches by a group that rushed to activism while Jews were being slaughtered,” they added.
