Protesters have their say on Israel/Palestine – and it’s not what we’ve been told
Groundswell: a through-the-window view of Westminster Bridge during the pro-Palestine demonstration.
Props to Not The Andrew Marr Show for putting together video clips of the enormous march in support of Palestine on Saturday (October 28, 2023), and interview footage of the participants.
This Writer saw a post on the social media in which a commentator suggested that one person calling for – it was either Jihad, or the dissolution of Israel – was speaking for all the other participants in the march; around half a million people.
Of course that person wasn’t speaking for the majority. It was a lone voice that the mass media chose to use, because it tarred everybody there with a socially-unacceptable demand.
Well, here’s the other side.
The information supplied to me with the clip stated: “This footage has been put together to show the views of the clear majority of the population who are not being heard on mainstream media.
“Following Israel’s siege and bombardment of Gaza, over half a million people attended a demonstration in London calling for an immediate ceasefire. This was by far the largest demonstration in support of Palestine.
“It features interviews with protestors as well as speakers including Husam Zomlot, Ismail Patel, Mick Lynch, Matt Wrack, Diane Abbott MP, Richard Burgon MP, Bell Ribeiro-Addy MP, Zarah Sultana MP, Apsana Begum MP, John Finucane MP, Dr Hosnieh Djafari-Marbini and Jeremy Corbyn MP.”
It’s fairly long – 34 minutes or so – and I would suggest that it is well worth your time; it shows you the real views of people who have been de-humanised, alienated and ‘othered’ by the right-wing pro-Israel press.

This video will soon be banned because the fascist tories will claim ‘it is hate speech!’ Mainstream media are fascist too and they don’t want the silent majority to be heard. All the women and men on the video want an end to Israel’s gynocide of Palestinian women, children and men.
I’ll be sending video to my friends because this is one way of counter acting the fascist propaganda lies circulating on mainstream media!
Ceasefire now!!! An end to Israel’s 75 year war on Palestinian women, children and men!
