Wasn’t planning on going, but am now seriously considering it. Why is Cruella getting involved.
I don’t know anyone who doesn’t have sympathy for the Israelis that were impacted by the Hamas attack, but 10k Palestinians killed in 30 days is more than all the civilian casualties in the Ukraine war todate.
Wanting an end to Palestinian deaths is not the same as supporting Hamas.
I mean… sounds like they’ve done all they can to avoid making it an issue. It’s happening well after the minute of silence (only starts at 12:45), nowhere near the Cenotaph (the main focus is the US embassy which is 2 miles from it, and the route doesn’t go via the Cenotaph either). And the main Remembrance events are happening on Sunday anyway.
Unfortunately nothing ever happens unless you inconvenience people. It’s the reason why Extinction Rebellion and Just Stop Oil are so effective, whether you agree with their goals or not.
As much as it’s nice to be considerate, I doubt that it’s too high at the top of their minds given that a people are currently being eased off the map.
And all this without even taking into account Britain’s current and historical role in creating and perpetuating this conflict.
