London police announced they will allow pro-Hamas marches across London to mark three years since the October 7 massacre. Pro-Palestinian organizations demanded to hold the marches tomorrow (Wednesday). Police stated they cannot ban protests unless the risk of serious public disorder is so high it cannot be managed through conditions – a situation they say does not apply in this case. The Labour government also registered no opposition to the protest, which according to reports is expected to celebrate the killing of Jews in broad daylight. The article notes that the story comes two days after the UK Green Party passed a resolution defining Zionism as racism, with 1,022 in favor and 813 against. The resolution stated that Zionism is an "ethno-national political project" and that opposition to Zionism should not be equated with antisemitism. The article uses charged terminology such as "caving to terrorism" and "celebrating the killing of Jews in broad daylight" to describe the events.
