Tens of Thousands March in London Against Anti-Semitism
London was buzzing as tens of thousands, including former PM Boris Johnson, flooded the streets for a massive anti-Semitism march. The event came just a day after pro-Palestinian protests called for a Gaza ceasefire. High-profile faces like Immigration Minister Robert Jenrick, Security Minister Tom Tugendhat, and celebs such as Tracy-Ann Oberman, Rachel Riley, and Robert Rinder joined the crowd.
Flags, Fierce Messages, and a Historic Rally
Led by Chief Rabbi Sir Ephraim Mirvis, marchers waved Israeli and Union flags, holding placards shouting “Never Again Is Now” and “Zero Tolerance for Antisemites.” The rally made headlines as the largest anti-Semitism gathering since 1936’s famous Battle of Cable Street, where locals stopped fascists from marching through a Jewish area.
During the march, news broke of a third group of hostages being released amid a brief truce between Hamas and Israel – a glimmer of hope amid tense times.
Striking Back Against Rising Tensions
Gideon Falter, Chief Executive of Campaign Against Antisemitism, said the march was a direct response to weeks of heated pro-Palestinian protests that turned parts of London into a “no-go zone for Jews.” Organisers stressed the rally’s mission: to send a bold message against anti-Semitism and champion unity during a time of soaring global tensions.
