Husam Zomlot accused some of 'hijacking our cause for their own twisted logic' and said those responsible should 'shut up'
The Palestinian ambassador to the UK has said people attending demonstrations to sow division and intimidate Jews instead of supporting Palestine “should shut up”. It was put to Husam Zomlot that some people have carried Hamas flags and chanted slogans that are “intimidating” for Jewish people, while two women had pictures of paragliders taped to the back of their jackets in apparent support for Hamas.
The arrests were for offences involving fireworks, public order and assaulting an emergency service worker. Protesters also chanted “from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free”, despite controversy around the slogan’s meaning. “Many of those strong voices are the Jewish people defending us. Those who have hate in their hearts for Jews would have hate in their hearts for Muslims and Christians, we have nothing to do with them and they should shut up.”
