These kids have now been charged:
Outrage as pro-Palestine protesters target Keir Starmer’s home
The group, known as Youth Demand, are calling for the Labour leader to support an arms embargo against Israel
www.independent.co.uk
I omitted to mention that in the replies to that Tweet and other, similar ones there was lots of outraged centrist pearl-clutching that anyone could be so irresponsible as to do such a thing whilst others quite reasonably pointed out that there was little or no reaction to the door-stepping of Corbyn by a mostly hostile press. Double standards much?

Dunno if you'll be able to see this, but looks like it from the PSC site:
Will also be a few things happening tomorrow, rally outside parliament in London:

It's Palestinian prisoners' day then, so may well be stuff happening in other places as well.

Apologies if this is the wrong forum for this.
Last night the the BBC reported that
Falter is lying. My bold
Falter is not only CEO of CAA, he's also a director and vice chairman of the Jewish National Fund UK, which buys up land on which to build illegal settlements. Here he is being celebrated on the JNF website in 2021.
Tony Blair is also a trustee of the JNF UK.
The JNF has also funded the CAA not once, but twice.

Last night the the BBC reported that
Falter is the CEO of the Campaign Against Antisemitism and claims that he wasn't trying to be provocative, but I have serious doubts. Falter's stunt (because that's what it was) was intended to provoke and smear the pro-ceasefire demonstrators, show up the the Met as taking sides and give credence to the claim that Central London on protest days is a "no go area for Jews", despite the fact that thousands of Jews take part in the demos. The news orgs fail to challenge the claims made by groups like the CAA and never interview Jews who are on the marches.

Footage shows Gideon Falter being told his presence is "antagonising" near a pro-Palestine march.

The original tweet:
There are faults on both sides here.
CAA is a pro Israel Zionist supporting organisation who object to those on demos opposing Israel killing thousands of Palestinians in Gaza and opposing Israel policies towards Palestinians.
No suprise he is leading light in Jewish National Fund. History of which is rooted in ethnic cleansing of Palestine. Land cleared of Palestinians in 48 was handed over to JNF for Jewish settlement. So long history of being a Zionist organisation.
However the video does show an officer telling him he cannot cross the road full of demonstrators due to the march as he looks Jewish. Officer does say this is part of the reason. It was wrong decision.
However he was saying he was just wanting to cross the road. The officer was stopping him. No he wasn't just needing to cross the road he was trying to be provocative
I was at that particular march. Zionist groups have taken to holding counter demo. Filming themselves and trying to make out its not safe for Jews in central London during these marches.
They deliberately try to antagonise marchers to get a response that can use to say these are hate marches.
On that Saturday the police had set up two sets of barrier on Aldwych and a line of police between the counter demo and the march.
It was at point where march came down Kingsway and turned into Aldwych.
March organisers had also put stewards at that point urging marchers that these people weren't worth it and to not stop but continue moving on.
Which with a bit of heckling on both sides did happen.
It must be disappointing for them not to get violent reaction. So I suppose the I just want to cross the road full of marchers is a new one.
I didnt put this photos up before as did not want to give them credibility. But this shows police line / separation and no demo marchers making central London a no go area.
As far as I'm concerned they have a right to protest and the lengths they are going to to try and make out its not safe are rubbish.

Falter is now demanding the resignation of Mark Rowley. Who the fuck does he think he is?
I'm well aware of what CAA is and what they do. I've recently had dealings with them. The Green Party referred them to the Charity Commission over their Corbyn smear campaign. That was 4 years ago.,
Over a year ago, the Charity Commission opened a compliance case against the CAA.
It's gone quiet.

Banana for scale
I'm pissed of with Falter because he's just gone and absolutely thrown fuel on the fire of people who go 'Jews are manipulative and whining'. Campaign Against Antisemitism do seem to have a habit of setting out to prove their own point and it's fucking annoying because it's counterproductive and you don't actually need to look too hard to find actual antisemitism and discuss it where relevant.

This Sky report shows that the an in question was not simply "trying to cross the road".

Despite footage showing the true story, BBC News is persisting with Falter's version of events. Worse, is that the footage shows him being accompanied by bodyguards and a camera crew. The BBC is playing a very dangerous game.

Met have just put this out

Way they are going on and you'd think the demos had been causing a lot of problems. All the ones I've been on have been peaceful
What concerns? Concerns are that they are happening at all.

If I tried to get amongst Britain First at a counter protest I would be thrown to the floor by multiple coppers, arrested for public order offences and put in a van. “To keep the peace”This Sky report shows that the an in question was not simply "trying to cross the road".
