Holocaust Memorial Covered During London March Amid Vandalism Fears

Authorities covered the Hyde Park Holocaust memorial during a pro-Palestinian rally, citing concerns of potential vandalism.

The decision to cover the memorial was taken by Hyde Park officials, not the Metropolitan Police.
Lord Mann described the precaution as 'sad but necessary' to prevent offense to the Jewish community.
Critics argue the covering symbolizes a victory for antisemitism and hate groups.
Yad Vashem expressed dismay, urging a focus on the root causes of antisemitism rather than just symptoms.
The covering incident has sparked widespread debate and criticism from various quarters.
