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.

    As someone who is part Jewish please don’t portray these Zionistic Nazis as Jews. We are not the same.

      Well, they’re from Israel and of Jewish heritage and presumably practice the religion so there’s nothing else to call them. Can’t “true Scotsman” the government of Israel out of their identity.

        While I agree they do not represent Jews worldwide and give us all a bad name. They are genocidal and deserve to be called out for as such. Maybe Zionists?
