Showing Original Post only (View all)Antisemitism, Terror Support Rampant at Anti-Netanyahu Protests in London [View all]
Anti-Israel activists hurled antisemitic epithets and waved flags representing terror groups on Wednesday, during a protest against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahus visit to London. An estimated 400 demonstrators gathered outside the residence of British Prime Minister David Cameron at 10 Downing Street to protest the arrival in the U.K. of Netanyahu, who is scheduled to meet with Cameron on Thursday morning.Photos from the rally show protesters holding signs that call for Netanyahus arrest, while others wave Palestinian flags and Hezbollah banners. One video from the scene shows a protester taunting Israel supporters nearby. The man, wearing a black-and-white keffiyeh and holding out a coin yells, Heres a penny Thats all you understand. You only understand money. He was later arrested by police.
Another clip, published on Facebook, shows a Palestinian woman endorsing genocide against Jews before going on to deny the Holocaust. Pro-Israel activist group Sussex Friends of Israel identified the woman as Pamela Hardyment, a well known antisemite and anti-Israel activist. Also wearing a black and white keffiyeh and carrying an umbrella adorned with the Palestinian flag, Hardyment told one Jewish protester, 6 million Jews, wiped out. I want them out of Israel They can f*** off, go into the sea. When one man suggested youd have to kill them all, she replied, so be it.
....
The protest comes just days after British Conservative Party Minister and Secretary of State for Business Sajid Javid slammed what he called dinner-party antisemites for allowing the spread of anti-Jewish hatred, the Daily Mail reported on Tuesday. Javid condemned the respectable, middle class people who would recoil in horror if you accused them of racism, but are quite happy to repeat modern takes on age-old myths and slanders about Jews.

Ah. I missed that the crazy umbrella lady was actually at the rally, and not somewhere else.

I did a quick Google on Pamela Hardyment, and perhaps it's best to let sleeping dogs lie...
