Hundreds of Pro-Palestine Students Sing Antisemitic Chants on October 7th Anniversary
Hundreds of pro-Palestine students chanted “from the river to the sea” – an antisemitic slogan calling for the destruction of Israel – during protests on the second anniversary of Hamas’s October 7th attacks. The Mail has more.
Scores of people demonstrated outside Sheffield University’s students’ union where they chanted: “From river to the sea, Palestine will be free.”
The song, which has been adopted by Hamas and is used in the terror group’s official charter, is deemed antisemitic and a direct call for the state of Israel to be destroyed.
The Palestinian flag-waving students also accused Israel of a “holocaust” and shouted: “Your uni is covered in Palestinian blood.”
Similar chants were heard in London as hundreds more students – many wearing facemasks – rallied in defiance of pleas from Jewish leaders and top politicians to ‘pause’ displays and ‘show some humanity’.
One group of demonstrators was seen storming Queen Mary University’s building to disrupt an event supported by British defence giant BAE Systems, with one woman hysterically screaming: “Get out of here. How dare you.”
The campaign of disruption comes as a woman in London, who sparked outrage after being filmed cutting down yellow ribbons for Israeli hostages from a fence, was today unmasked.
Nadia Yahlom, who lives in north London, used scissors to brazenly snip the memorial bands tied to railings by the Jewish community to honour of the 251 people taken hostage by Hamas terrorists on October 7th 2023.
Ms Yahlom declared the tributes – which were put up on the eve of the second anniversary of the attacks – were “condoning genocide”.
The yellow ribbon is the symbol of the ‘Bring Them Home’ campaign for those who have been held captive by Hamas terrorists and kept against their will in Gaza.
Ms Yahlom, whose identity was until now unknown, is a pro-Palestine artist whose work focuses on “hauntedness and supernatural life” in the war-torn state.
She studied at the University of Cambridge and Goldsmiths before embarking on an Arts PhD at the University of Westminster. Her husband is a Palestinian actor.
Police are now investigating whether her actions constituted an act of criminal damage or a hate crime.
The news comes as hordes of students across the country defied warnings from Prime Minister Keir Starmer to stay away from “un-British” protests on the second anniversary of the attacks which claimed the lives of around 1,200 people in Israel.
Stop Press: Pro-Palestine protesters have succeeded in shutting down London’s Tower Bridge, setting off flares and blocking traffic before a static protest near Downing Street.
Yeah that figures, she and her bloke are artist / actor respectively.
With due respect to artists and actors, Palestinian or otherwise, I somehow doubt that either are in any sort of gainful employment, paying their taxes and contributing to this country.
Maybe. Yeah I’ve seen plenty of feral youth wearing nappies, used to be snoods or hoodies or balaclavas and yes it’s all about not being recognised and looking menacing. But IMO those twats in that crowd are not well hard, just saddoes. They just look daft to me.
I’m not convinced that it’s about hiding their faces, for some in those demos – seems more like a badge of honour “I’m a virtuous covidiot”. Who knows? Best not to delve…
I’m so over this ‘genocide’ cock and bull accusation now. This piece covers several actual genocides and why there’s so much myopic focus on the Israel – Gaza conflict, to the exclusion of all else; ”The greatest achievement of radical Islamists in recent decades has been how they have managed to expose the gullibility of the masses worldwide, most notably in the West.

Neither will we get to hear much about last month’s beheadings in northern Mozambique (now in the Commonwealth, despite its Portuguese colonial past).
If it’s merely ethnic cleansing by an Islamic state (Azerbaijan on Nagorno Karabach) then you’re given commendation from the then Foreign Secretary, David Lammy.
Yet another attempt to confuse anti Zionism with anti Semitism. The protesting students are not fooled by your nonsense. They can see nigh on 80 years of Israeli Zionist colonisation, dislocation and slaughter when it stares them in the face.
52 years ago, Egypt and Syria launched a surprise attack on Israel. While a handful of heavily outnumbered Israeli Centurion tanks held up the Syrians, a friend of mine surprised me by telling me that “Hitler had the right idea about the jews”. The Syrians who massacred the Druze recently were the sons or grandsons of the Syrians of 1973. I don’t think there can be any doubt what would have happened if they had overrun the Israeli defences. You may think you are not anti-semitic, but the people you support are genocidal savages.

They show themselves to be the cowardly terrorists they are, they cover their faces so as not to be identified, why is that?, if they are so proud of their cause, their defence of Hammas, their hatred of the Jewish people and their absolute belief in what they are doing is right and good, show your faces, let us all see the virtue and fervour of your cause. But they do not, like the terrorists they are they call for the destruction of Jews, they call for death to the west, they intimidate, bully, and gleefully celebrate the torture and deaths their heroes in Hammas have caused, but they are to scared to show us their faces, too cowardly in case they are identified and possibly have to put up with the disdain and possible consequences of supporting terrorism, either through losing their jobs, (why aren’t these people at work or in education during the week? how are they supporting this life?), or being exposed to their friends and families as supporters of and affiliation with terrorism. If they are so proud and so convinced of their righteousness, then let us all see who you are, surely the true believer… Read more »

At least the good folks of Sheffield (or at least some of them) have found a common cause to take their minds off the usual, everyday black-on-black inter-racial, inter-religious struggles.
“Ms Yahlom is a “Palestinian-Jewish and British artist and visual anthropologist, looking at hauntedness, supernatural life and the bio/necropolitical relationship between Palestine and the UK.” ”

Yahlom?

Waste of space
Deport her and her husband to Gaza.
How did Nadia Yahlom receive taxpayer funding for her PhD?
More excellent sleuthing by Charlotte Gill…
What is it with these people and face nappies? Do they think it’s a good look?
They think they won’t be recognised.
Same with the ferals living near me who ride ebikes on the back wheel into oncoming traffic. They think they’re untouchable.
Those f***ing 2020 mask mandates have normalised something that used to be extraordinary.

The question is: why don’t they want to be recognised, if they’re so convinced they’re in the right?

I fear for the future if these nasty, unsympathetic creatures make it into positions of authority.
Ve haf vays of enzuring your compliantz.

Oh have they all been to Palestine?

The obvious solution – round up the whole bloody lot of them and put them on a plane to Gaza.
Sorted.
