The pro-Israel rally had 1% (?) of the attendance of yesterday, yet had:
1. Tommy Robinson attending (plus fans)
2. Tzipi Hovotely on stage speaking
3. One participant screaming: "there will never be Palestine. It's our country. My f***ing country"
Let's see how it's covered

Let's see how it's covered
The way that yesterday's pro-Palestine protests were reported on by sections of the media (especially the right wing), shows the double standards at play.
This man was cheered on by so many of the crowd.
And even Tommy Robinson - watch how he is hugged by one of the crowd..
This was a protest of only c.1500 people...
Yet this was what we saw.

Let's be clear. I don't think the organisers of the rally are responsible for Tommy Robinson.
But that's how the coverage of yesterday's much bigger protest was framed.
And it's just ridiculous.
What we can hold the rally organisers for, is who they choose as speakers

And yesterday's rally chose Hotovely.
A person who has a real awful history of racist attitudes
E.g. referred to the 1948 displacement of 700,000 Palestinians as “a strong and popular Arab lie… they made up a story that is called the Nakba”. (Video: fb.watch/5Gi2JsOZre/)

E.g. said
"For eternity, Judea & Samaria are an inseparable part of the State of Israel because they are the lands of the Jewish people"
Is that ethnic cleansing of Palestinians?

E.g. said "This is a religious battle led by Islam. We can't ignore this basic truth," she added.

And this is what Haaretz had in a piece: "Hotovely is an unabashed Islamophobe and religious fundamentalist who denies the existence of the Palestinian people and supports annexation of the entire West Bank and Jewish control of the Temple Mount" haaretz.com/amp/opinion/.p…
Hotovely apparently told Palestinian MKs they are "thieves of history"
"Your history books are empty and you are trying to co-opt Jewish history and Islamize it," she said
The Princeton student body cancelled her event after the speech came to light
