Hate
...While on the opposite side of the Thames, Islamists cheer the ayatollahs and call for Israel’s destruction
On Sunday, London did not simply host two protests. It held up a mirror. On one side of the Thames, British Jews stood with displaced Iranians in common cause. Their message was not complicated. It was about life, about freedom – about the possibility that a better future might yet be wrestled from a grim present. Across the water, a very different sound carried. At the Al-Quds Day demonstration in support of the Iranian regime, chants of “Death to Israel”, Death to the IDF” and “Death to America” rang out. Adults waved posters of the ayatollah. Children wore Hamas headbands. The jihadis roared their blind hatred for everything our country stands for. Same city. Same afternoon. Different worlds. Democracy on one side. Islamism on the other. One side spoke the language of hope, however fragile. The other howled in blind hate. Britain is not neutral ground in this fight. It is the ground. • Reports and analysis, pages 2, 3, 4, 24, 26 & 27
