Oborne says London pro-Palestine crowds represent the best of Britain

Author and journalist Peter Oborne addressed a major pro Palestine rally in London, telling crowds they represent the best of Britain as they continue to march against Israel’s genocide in Gaza.

Thousands gathered in the capital as part of the UK’s ongoing mobilisation, which has become one of the most persistent mass movements in the world calling out Israel’s destruction of Palestinian life and Britain’s role in enabling it.

Oborne praised demonstrators for standing in the tradition of historic British struggles for justice, from the Chartists to the suffragettes, and condemned politicians and media figures who label protesters as hate marchers.

He stressed that the real threat to civilisation comes from those defending Israeli atrocities while silencing calls for accountability.

He honoured the more than 200 Palestinian journalists killed by Israeli forces during the genocide, calling them the greatest figures in the profession and criticising British newsrooms for failing to defend them.
