THREAD today in London the @PSCupdates together with @FriendsofAlAqsa organised a demonstration for Palestine. Marchers called for "victory to the Intifada" and chanted "from the river to the sea Palestine will be free" arguing all of Israel is an occupied territory
There were antisemitic messages and tropes pushed and fringe conspiracy theories thrown out. One is that Binyamin @netanyahu, Israel's Prime Minister, somehow controls the BBC. 
This conspiracy has long roots, the idea that Jews secretly control things is straight out of the Protocols. Jeremy Corbyn has long pushed the idea that Israel, Zionist lobby have huge influence in the UK @TheGolem_ and @magnitsky have reported on this
The crowd call for "Victory of the Intifada" hardly a bunch of peace activists. Less than a week ago 700 rockets were fired on Israeli population centres by Hamas killing 4 Israeli civilians and a pregnant Gazan mother and her daughter. Hamas are explicit in targeting civilians.
Apparently antisemitism is all Israel's fault, the logic goes that if only Israelis weren't so evil people wouldn't hate Jews so much. Pre-Israel antisemites used to say if only Jews weren't so evil antisemitism wouldn't exist.
Let's not forget that @jeremycorbyn is still patron of the Palestine Solidarity Campaign who continue to serve, much as the @UKLabour Party now does, as an incubator for conspiracy theories, often antisemitic, push the idea an unseen elite are in control of the @BBCPolitics & UK
Such conspiracies tend to come back on the Jews as the elite benefitting from whatever nefarious deed they are accused of. Today it was all out in the open for everyone to see. Victory to an Intifada that is explicit in its targeting of civilians & Jew hatred on London's streets
