A London Metropolitan police officer was filmed yesterday in London telling demonstrators they could face arrest for protesting in support of Palestine but would be allowed to remain if they were protesting in support of Israel.

The officer stated that failing to comply with the order would constitute a breach of conditions set out, which could result in arrest.

When asked by a protester filming the interaction, “If we protest for Palestine, Sudan, Congo, we can’t stay. But if we protest for Israel, we can stay?”, the officer firmly responded, “Yes.”

This incident occurred after emergency services closed off the area around Big Ben in London, following an event where a man climbed one of the buildings at the Palace of Westminster and raised a Palestinian flag.

The barefoot man was filmed on Saturday morning standing on a ledge of the Elizabeth Tower, which houses the famous Big Ben clock, holding the Palestinian flag.

  1. At this moment the UK police force is a political and cleansing force…this today idiots are able to shoot you tomorrow….just to serve and lick the corrupted Starmer a.ss🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮

  2. It is getting funnier and funnier everyday. After this is over, hope they can go back and see how stupid they were. Can I open my mouth and breathe then will it be illegal?

  3. This shows that the police don’t even understand the law they’re being made to enforce. As far as I understand it, the law cannot be used to ban protesting for Palestine. It’s been deemed by the idiots that run our government that support for Palestine Action is supporting terrorist organisation and that’s what they’re somehow able to arrest us for (which is a very dark stain on the humanity of this country). It’s terrifying if the police officer doesn’t understand that distinction and thinks he can arrest people for saying they’re of support of Palestine. It’s not as if it isn’t terrifying enough that they’re able to arrest us for supporting an organisation supporting Palestine

  4. The police don't have a fucking clue, it's 100% fine to support palestine, it's Palestinian @ction you're prohibited from Showing support for.

  5. People can still peacefully protest about the genocidal Zionist regime but not use the phrase ‘ Palestinian Action’ as it is a proscribed group which means a violent banned terrorist group. So you can say stop the ethnic cleansing by Zionists or Free Free Palestine.

  6. I can walk around freely if I like starving babies. I think humanity needs to change its thinking that infanticide is acceptable as long as it's not Jewish babies. Try to forget our basic instincts because the thought police will come for us, maybe starve us, maybe shoot us.

  7. They have no idea! It's as corrupt as it could possibly be. This footage needs to be shown on the national news every day and Starmer should be forced to watch it and make a public statement on the way the Police are ' enforcing' such open and blatant prejudice.
    Utterly complicit in a genocide and war crimes.
    It's quite extraordinary just how low this country has sunk into the shit.

  8. Is this outside an embassy? If so, then you can make the argument that his job is to keep opposing parties apart. They do the same at marches – if A and B are in conflict then if you belong to group A, C or D you can be here, but B you can't. The reverse would be true outside a Palestinian delegation.

  9. Take a look at what is happening in Nepal right now that is how the Brits should be reacting chasing the politicians out of their homes and into the river stripped naked

  10. Americans Europeans are so hypocrite don’t waste your time to arguing with them if they killed somebody it’s their right but other do same things they become extremist
