London’s Metropolitan Police Department is aware that “from the river to the sea”—an antisemitic slogan that calls for genocide against Jews—was projected on Big Ben, one of the world’s most iconic landmarks. Yet it didn’t do anything about it.
“This is a chant that has been frequently heard at pro-Palestinian demonstrations for many years and we are very aware of the strength of feeling in relation to it,” the London police department wrote.
“While there are scenarios where chanting or using these words could be unlawful depending on the specific location or context, its use in a wider public protest setting, such as last night, is not a criminal offense,” it added.
“People need permission from both the Commons speaker and Westminster City Council planners to legally project onto the side of the Houses of Parliament,” the Daily Mail reported.
“Absolutely appalling,” the European Jewish Congress wrote. “This antisemitic chant is a rallying cry used by Hamas terrorists calling for the destruction of the State of Israel.”
Absolutely appalling.
Last night, ‘From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free’ was projected onto Big Ben in London.

Lawmaking and law-keeping are divorcing each other in Britain. Lawmakers are indulged at the taxpayer’s expense and often play politics with lawmaking. They’ve shed the responsibility for law-keeping to over 500 quangos in the various sectors of society. In addition, Britain still observes many EU laws. It also complies with many global policies.
Like in Israel, British courts can pick and choose which laws should prevail so that law-keeping has become a lottery. A quango called the Crown Prosecution Service decides whether a prosecution is in the public interest. (This is probably a pattern being repeated across the world)
Both right and wrong as well as good and evil have been displaced by whatever the current cultural norms are. Marxist Capitalism or Social Democracy as it’s better known has displaced God’s laws. Paganism is subverting Christianity in Britain.
Almighty God said that He would send strong delusion that they all should believe a lie. That delusion in the UK covers most things. The prophecies in the Holy Bible are unfolding before our very eyes!
I wonder how the police would react if someone displayed the message: From the river to the sea, make Israel free.
