"Zionist scum! We will honour all our martyrs! From the river to the sea!" "Allahu akbar!"
Today's "anti-racist" protest outside Tower Hamlets Town Hall, where they are daring to invoke Cable Street. That's some of the most grotesque perversion you will see in London, even...
...in a city that teems with horrors.
Here, "it's just the Islamic declaration of faith!". Yes, but the colours and styling of the flag signal allegiance to violent extremism, starting with the Taliban.
And that image on the lower right on the banner?
It is a celebration of the 7 October atrocities, shown here at another protest. It reads "Gaza is the occupier’s burial ground".
The image is being pushed by the "Palestinian Youth Movement", yet another set of awful extremists.
Just the right vehicle for an "anti-racist" protest. Leila Khaled was a PFLP terrorist hijacker. She's still around. She strongly backed the Hamas atrocities of 7 October 2023.
Shabbir Lakha of the "Stop the War Coalition" bellowing today. Harsh words and boos for Labour, "the real enemy". Another perverse invocation of Cable Street.
And then "we will tear down the flags of the imperialists and the warmongers!".
Don't forget to join the next Israel hatred rally!
Do they believe in non-violent resistance? Um, no.
"Takbir! Allahu akbar!"
Yeah, we get it, bruv. You're a Muslim.
I don't know about you, but I don't find a bunch of shouting men in balaclavas an appealing call to Islam.
Are trade unions backing this hatred rally? Of course they are!
"Hello, we're idiots. We like tyranny and terrorism."
Is this where we are supposed to say "diversity is our greatest strength"?
"The Zionist system, shut it down!" "Allahu akbar! Takbir!"
Extremist flags aloft.
Oh yes, lucky Tower Hamlets is being treated to a proper "anti-racist" protest today.
The blood chants for Jerusalem.
"With our souls and our blood, we will redeem you, oh al-Aqsa!"
"From the river to the sea!" "There is no God but Allah!"
"We stand where the Palestinians stand!" "Allahu akbar! Takbir!" "I am here for you, oh al-Aqsa!"
"The Zionist government, off our streets!"
"The Labour scum, off our streets!"
A comic interlude. "We are united in the kind of community we want lo live in."
No thanks, Jezbollah.
Yay, academics for hatred!
"Zionist scum, off our streets!" "Allahu akbar!"
Do you like the 2025 version of "anti-racist" protests?
If older and true anti-racists are horrified by what they see in London these days, let Lou Reed sing for you.
To conclude, I am happy that this has been adopted as something of an anthem for all of us fighting racist "anti-racists". May it rile, in so many ways.
Don't like us? We don't care.
More power to you, stay strong.
