Antisemitism is hitting the streets of London. Christians must be vocal in their opposition

Antisemitic slogans and declarations of support for Hamas could be seen on the streets of London this past Saturday. Christian Concern's Tim Dieppe says Christians must respond by standing in solidarity with Jewish people

Around 100,000 protestors are said to have attended a pro-Palestine rally in London on Saturday.

While there, many chanted the slogan, “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free”.

That might sound innocuous, but to anyone who has looked at a map and knows where the (Jordan) River and the (Mediterranean) Sea is, it’s incredibly incendiary. If this version of a "free Palestine" were to take place, the world's only Jewish state would have to be entirely erradicated. Home Secretary Suella Braverman was correct in her description of the slogan as a call for the “destruction of Israel,” and said it, “remains a staple of antisemitic discourse”. She added, “To hear it shouted in public causes alarm, not just to Jews but to all decent people.”
