Pro-Palestinian Protest Organized During Hamas Attacks on October 7, 2023

Documents reveal the Palestine Solidarity Campaign planned a London rally as news of the Hamas massacre in Israel unfolded.

The Palestine Solidarity Campaign (PSC) contacted the Metropolitan Police at 12:50 PM on October 7, 2023, to organize a protest while Hamas attacks were ongoing in Israel.
The attacks, which began earlier that day, resulted in over 1,000 Israeli deaths, kidnappings, and widespread atrocities, with evidence circulating online in real-time.
The protest, held in London on October 14, 2023, featured chants and symbols interpreted as support for Hamas, drawing widespread criticism for its timing and tone.
Critics argue the PSC's actions and messaging during and after October 7 demonstrate alignment with anti-Israel sentiment rather than a call for peace or a ceasefire.
The protests, which continued for months, have been criticized for exacerbating tensions and allegedly emboldening Hamas while costing taxpayers millions in policing.
