Metropolitan Police @metpoliceuk · 6h There are a number of events taking place in London this weekend.
Anyone attending should be aware that officers policing these will act where criminal offences, including those related to support of proscribed groups or organisations, are committed.
Of course they wouldn’t, but British media is filled to the brim with pro-Israel propaganda, is it not? I wouldn’t think it would be controversial to say that it might have at least some impact on forcing politicians and the public to maintain support for the genocide, but maybe I’m missing something here.
The difference is that it’s primarily the US in control and by extension groups like AIPAC because the state of Israel’s goals aligns with US interests. The claim wasn’t that there was zero impact. The state of Israel is an easy stand-in for “the Jews” in anti-Semitic conspiracy theories. It’s important to remember that Israel is only able to stand because of the US (and sometimes its European satellites) funneling money to it
Much thanks for the detailed response and I agree with all of that.
