Ministers are to give police new powers to target repeated protests, aimed particularly at cracking down on demonstrations connected to Gaza, the Home Office has said.

The announcement, made the morning after almost 500 people were arrested in London for expressing support for Palestine Action, a proscribed organisation, could allow police to order regular protests to take place at a different site.

    1. Until recently any word against Israel was met with the antisemitism hammer. I don’t think they realise how outdated that view is.
    2. Their hands are deep in the cookie jar. They’ve been supplying arms for 50+ years. “You weren’t meant to kill people with them!”
    3. Trump in particular doesn’t really care. All he sees is an opportunity to make money rebuilding Gaza.
    4. U.K. leadership has a real problem standing in opposition to Trump. They’ll insult him in private, but whisper sweet nothings into his ear when in person. They think they’re being clever. They’re not.
