British Home Secretary slammed for calling pro-Palestine demonstrations ‘hate marches’

Suella Braveman, Home Secretary of UK, has said that the thousands of people taking to the streets after the largest massacre of Jews post holocaust are, “chanting for the erasure of Israel from the map,” emphasizing that they are “hate marches”.

Britains Home Secretary Suella Braverman has branded Pro #Palestinian protests as “hate march” – if ever there was a time to take to the streets in not just London, but all of the UK, it is next weekend! This is an abhorrent attack on democracy! #Gaza pic.twitter.com/r9LLFgT3m7

She was speaking to the media after an emergency meeting called by Rishi Sunak over growing terror fears in the region. She reiterated her demand for “police to show zero-tolerance approach to antisemitism.”

The shadow Home Secretary Yvette Cooper called out her statement as irresponsible citing, “use of careless rhetoric makes the job of the police much harder”.
Previously, she urged the police to clamp down on any attempts to use flags, songs or swastikas to harass or intimidate the Jewish community. Her statement was also seen as a harsh response to the most famous chant of these marches, “from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free.”

Former Cabinet Minister Saeeda Warsi lambasted the home secretary by saying that “she never misses the opportunity to create a culture war”.

Jesus, Mary & Joseph &the wee donkey – in the line of duty can someone please tell the Home Sec the way you keep communities safe is by bringing them together not by creating divisions based upon toxic lies
She never learns
&she never misses an opportunity to create a culture war https://t.co/S39pCh4yW1

Braveman is being widely criticised over her remarks. Left-wing politician David Osland posted on X, writing, “British National Party’s protest as hate march or is this word reserve for those demanding peach for Palestine?”

Has Suella Braverman ever described a National Front or British National Party protest as a 'hate march'? Or is that designation reserved for those demanding peace in Palestine?

Netizen, Howard Beckett, reminded the world that she called a “protest against the ongoing murder of over 3000 children a hate march”.

UK has seen massive protests and marches in support of Palestine but the stance of the Government is hostile and provocative against the marchers. Nearly a hundred arrests have already been made while five have also been charged with offences.
