Pro-Palestinian activists’ latest ‘Day of Action’ ended in ugly scenes as protesters surrounded British Legion poppy sellers at a train station and chanted ‘shame on you’ at a young child leaving a McDonald’s – while fireworks were launched at police.
Heartbreaking images showed dismayed poppy sellers shamelessly surrounded by chanting pro-Palestine activists in Charing Cross station, prompting condemnation from veterans minister Johnny Mercer, who offered to ‘rattle a tin’ with the charitable trio.
Videos shared on social media of activists travelling to Trafalgar Square – where largely peaceful protests gave way to ugly scenes of fireworks being hurled at police – showed protesters chanting to ‘smash the Zionist settler state’.
And families leaving a McDonald’s in the capital were hounded amid a row over Israeli franchised restaurants giving free and discounted food to IDF soldiers. Other franchises in the Middle East have distanced themselves from the stunt.
The Metropolitan Police says it has arrested 29 people in connection with crimes ranging from terrorism offences to breaching a dispersal order that was enacted by the force after fireworks were hurled at officers, injuring four.

Watch the video here:
The term Intifada, which literally translates to “Stone Uprising,” refers to years of violent Palestinian riots against Israel starting in 1987 on the 20th anniversary of Israel’s war against Egypt and Jordan. A so-called “second Intifada” was launched in 2000 and lasted for around five years, during which time over 1,000 Israelis and over 3,000 Palestinians were killed.

“We’re here to say we support freedom for Palestine,” ANSWER Coalition media coordinator Walter Smolarek said, according to NBC Washington. “We’re here to demand a cease-fire now. We demand an end to the massacre of civilians in Gaza.”
“We’re gathered here because we believe that the Palestinian people have the right to live in freedom, have the right to live in peace and without being subjected to constant bombardments, to constant imprisonment, harassment, the occupation of their land,” Smolarek said.

RELATED: British Leaders Express Concern at Massive Gaza Protest Planned for Armistice Day
Published November 5, 2023
A large Gaza demonstration is planned for central London on November 11th, and while the British government has expressed concern and implied that it hopes the police ban the protest, it has stopped short of taking any action to stop the protest.
UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has called a plan to host a large pro-Palestine rally in central London on the same day as the nation commemorates its fallen soldiers on the anniversary of the end of the Great War on November 11th, 1918 “provocative and disrespectful”. Saying there was a risk the national memorial to the dead of the First and Second World Wars could be “desecrated” and that this would be an “affront to the British public” the Prime Minister said ordinary Britons had the right “to remember in peace and dignity, those who have paid the ultimate sacrifice” for freedom.
Yet despite his clear concern for trouble on the day commemorated as Armistice Day in the Commonwealth and Veterans Day in the U.S., where the King will lay a wreath at the Cenotaph and a considerable march past of troops and veterans has taken place annually for over a century, the PM made no hard move to stop it happening. Instead, Sunak said he had asked his subordinate the Home Secretary “to support the Met Police in doing everything necessary to protect the sanctity of Armistice Day and Remembrance Sunday.”
Home Secretary Suella Braverman was also apparently indecisive, publishing a statement in which she called the march on Armistice Day “unacceptable”. However, as to whether it would go ahead or not, Braverman spoke in detached terms, as if the government minister responsible for law and order in the United Kingdom is not responsible for making such decisions.
She wrote: “If it goes ahead there is an obvious risk of serious public disorder… I have full confidence in the Metropolitan Police to ensure public safety and take all factors into account as they have done in similar situations in the past.”
