And former UKIP leader Nigel Farage accused the Met of being &#8216;gutless&#8217; by failing to ban the event.<\/p>\n<p>More than 70,000 people are expected to attend the demonstration on Saturday to protest against Israel&#8217;s bombardment of Gaza following the Hamas massacres of October 7.<\/p>\n<p>Previous rallies have seen officers injured with fireworks, protesters flaunting extremist imagery and multiple arrests for anti-Semitic chanting.<\/p>\n<p>Organisers, who have pledged to keep away from Whitehall and the Cenotaph, will not start their demonstration until 12.45pm, almost two hours after the two-minute silence. The route will take them from Hyde Park \u2013 about a mile from the Cenotaph \u2013 to the US embassy in Vauxhall, south of the Thames.<\/p>\n<p>But there are fears that splinter groups could clash with veterans, Right-wing activists and football fans at the Cenotaph. Arsenal and Crystal Palace are at home on Saturday as are West Ham and Chelsea on Sunday.<\/p>\n<p>Police officers were last night guarding the Rochdale Cenotaph, after vandals daubed &#8216;Free Palestine&#8217; across it. Locals said it was the third attack on the war memorial in a week.<\/p>\n<p>The Palestine Solidarity Campaign, which is the main organiser of Saturday&#8217;s march, said it understood the political pressure placed on the Met.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;However, we emphasise that they had and have a responsibility to withstand that pressure and act to uphold democratic freedoms including the right to protest,&#8217; a spokesman added.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;The idea that it is acceptable for Israel to keep bombing and killing Palestinians in Gaza, including over 4,000 children, but not for people to protest peacefully against these crimes is grotesque.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;We invite all people of conscience to join us in peacefully marching, as planned.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>Nicholas Soames, a former armed forces minister and grandson of Winston Churchill, said the march should be allowed.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/11\/07\/22\/77510785-0-The_war_in_Gaza_broke_out_after_Hamas_terrorists_killed_1_400_pe-a-54_1699395668535.jpg\" height=\"425\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>The war in Gaza broke out after Hamas terrorists\u00a0killed 1,400 people in Israel and took more than 200 hostages.

And because you may not agree or disagree with their views and because it is very contentious and very difficult, it&#8217;s going to put tremendous strain on the police, I think it must be allowed to go ahead.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>Lord Soames said he disagreed with Mrs Braverman&#8217;s &#8216;hate marches&#8217; characterisation, adding that the events so far had seen few arrests relative to the number of people taking part.<\/p>\n<p>Last week Mrs Braverman said it was &#8216;entirely unacceptable to desecrate Armistice Day with a hate march through London&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p>Sacha Deshmukh, head of Amnesty International UK, called for the Met not to bow to political pressure. &#8216;The police have a duty to facilitate peaceful demonstrations,&#8217; he added.<\/p>\n<p>But Ron Dermer, Israel&#8217;s minister of strategic affairs, labelled the pro-Palestine marches as &#8216;war crimes&#8217;. He said: &#8216;When you have people going with signs saying &#8216;Palestine from river to the sea&#8217;, that is incitement to genocide, which is a war crime.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;It&#8217;s wrong and should be condemned forthrightly and I think your Government and the head of Labour had some good things to say about that.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/news\/article-12722681\/Pray-dont-end-riot-Cenotaph-Met-warned-threat-violent-clashes-Remembrance-Day-force-says-pro-Palestine-rally-ahead.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pray they don&#8217;t end up with a riot at the Cenotaph&#8230;
