Pro-Palestinian protesters managed to get their message displayed on London’s Houses of Parliament Wednesday night.

The slogan “From the river to the sea” was projected onto the Elizabeth Tower that houses Big Ben during a pro-Palestinian protest, according to the Daily Mail.

The Palestinian Solidarity Campaign claimed thousands of protesters turned out for the “Stop the Genocide” rally that also took place Wednesday.

The words “ceasefire now” and “stop bombing Gaza” were also projected onto the tower, according to the Express.

The protest angered GB News presenter Martin Daubney, who posted a video to X that appeared to show the projector being used in the protest.

“So a projector clearly visible opposite Big Ben. Just spoke to coppers, they say this isn’t legal… but they are just standing and watching!” he posted.

The Express said that a statement from London’s Metropolitan Police said: “This is a chant that has been frequently heard at pro-Palestinian demonstrations for many years and we are very aware of the strength of feeling in relation to it.

“While there are scenarios where chanting or using these words could be unlawful depending on the specific location or context, its use in a wider public protest setting, such as last night, is not a criminal offense,” the statement said.

Aviva Klompas, formerly of Israel’s delegation to the United Nations, vented her outrage on X by posting:  “This is appalling. Projected on London’s Big Ben was the genocidal slogan ‘From the River to the Sea’ To be clear, this is the same as writing ‘Death to the Jews.”

Member of Parliament Matthew Offord criticized the police response, according to the Telegraph.

“Many of my constituents have faced a level of anti-Semitism that we’ve never seen before,” he said.

“My constituents remind me not only of the calls for jihad on the streets of London and the Metropolitan Police refusing to do anything about it. They also remind me about men driving through north London threatening to rape Jewish women and the CPS [Crown Prosecution Service] then declining to prosecute them,” he said.

Andrew Percy, a Jewish MP, said Thursday that lax enforcement is enabling anti-Semitic behavior.

“For months I’ve been standing up here talking about the people on our streets demanding ‘death to Jews,’ demanding Jihad, demanding intifadas as the police stand by and allow that to happen,” he said.

“Last night, a genocidal call of ‘From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free’ was projected onto this building. That message says no Jew is welcome in the state of Israel or in that land. This is going to continue happening because we’re not dealing with it,” he said.


A Note from Our Deputy Managing Editor:

“We don’t even know if an election will be held in 2024.” Those 12 words have been stuck in my head since I first read them. 

Former Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn recently made that comment to Floyd Brown, founder of The Western Journal. 

And if the leftists and the elites get their way, that’s exactly what will happen — no real election, no real choice for the Electoral College, and no real say for the American people. 

The Western Journal is fighting to keep that from happening, but we can’t do it alone.

We work tirelessly to expose the lying leftist media and the corrupt America-hating elites.

But Big Tech’s stranglehold is now so tight that without help from you, we will not be able to continue the fight. 

The 2024 election is literally the most important election for every living American. We have to unite and fight for our country, otherwise we will lose it. And if we lose the America we love in 2024, we’ll lose it for good. Can we count on you to help? 

With you we will be able to field journalists, do more investigative work, expose more corruption, and get desperately needed truth to millions of Americans. 

We can do this 

only with your help. Please don’t wait one minute. Donate right now.
