London – An anti-Israel protest held on Downing Street, London, told all Zionists to “go home”  on Wednesday.

One of the protest’s attendees brought a sign saying “Stop the Judaization of Jerusalem, and Britain, Europe, Ukraine and USA.” Another poster there said that “Zionism uses Jews as human shields.”

Another protester brought a poster that said “Hamas are gallant fighters for the Palestinian cause. They show huge bravery against the might of the Israeli military.” Other signs the protesters held included messages such as “end the Israeli occupation” and “end the siege in Gaza.”

“There is only one solution, Intifada Revolution” was another chant that was heard at the protest.

The protest was referred to as a “Rally for Palestine,” organized by the Palestine Solidarity Campaign, according to the organization’s website. It was in response to the three-day-long Operation Breaking Dawn that had ended just a few days earlier.

In response to the chants, one Twitter user wrote that “they’re telling Zionists to go home, doesn’t that kind of make them Zionists, too?” Another user said that the chant was the “best self-defeating slogan.”

Another user said that it is “such an illogical thing to say when you protest against Israel.”

Jerusalem Post columnist Emily Schrader said, “that’s the point… we did.”

Author and former Labor MK Dr. Einat Wilf responded with: “Otherwise known as the call to ‘Make Aliyah.'”

Journalist and writer David Collier called the protesters “thugs” and that they are the new Nazis – and have overrun left-wing political spaces, media, academia and NGOs. “They are even in schools teaching our children.”
