In London, the Holocaust Memorial Garden stone in Hyde Park was covered up with a tarpaulin during a pro-Palestine march, sparking widespread outrage. The decision to conceal the memorial was made by the Royal Parks, with protection provided by the Metropolitan Police, amid fears of potential vandalism by protestors with reported links to Hamas and antisemitic rioters. This action has raised concerns about the safety of Jewish communities and the state of antisemitism in the city. Critics argue that covering such memorials, which honor the six million Jews murdered during the Holocaust, suggests a severe societal issue that needs urgent attention.
The Met Police says the story on covering up Holocaust memorials is untrue as it wasn't them but was instead park officials. Are we supposed to be grateful? It's their lack of inaction and two tier policing that means a Holocaust memorial has to be covered up by the authorities.
The situation is so bad in the UK that they are now covering up memorials to the 6 million Jews murdered in the Holocaust when there are anti-Israel protesters marching in the vicinity. 🇬🇧🇮🇱 https://t.co/8P7v2xaAFh
Instead of protecting it from antisemitic rioters, London poilce choose yesterday to cover the Holocaust memorial in Hyde Park with a tarpaulin https://t.co/jn6OmzPj19
It doesn’t really matter the police or Royal Parks covered up the Holocaust Memorial. The key point is that a memorial to six million Jews murdered by Nazis is at risk of being vandalised by some (no one’s saying all) people who claim to be marching against genocide and racism. https://t.co/zDKZcqdSc9
The Holocaust Memorial Gardens stone in Hyde Park has been covered up by @theroyalparks & the @metpoliceuk guard the Cenotaph from pro-Hamas, & pro-Palestine thugs. My message to you. https://t.co/drZSWeUPBm
The decision to cover up the Holocaust Memorial Garden in Hyde Park was the decision of @theroyalparks, according to the @metpoliceuk. Nevertheless, this is a disgrace to Britain, they should hang their heads in shame. As is having to protect the Cenotaph from Hamas scum. https://t.co/l8bFdMUjz8
I wonder why the Royal Parks thought it was necessary to cover up a memorial to the deaths of six million Jews while a pro-Palestine march organised by groups with links to Hamas was passing by? Just a coincidence, I guess. 🤔 https://t.co/YCedexHpaL
Outrage after Holocaust memorial in Hyde Park covered up during pro-Palestine march through London https://t.co/s2nfjD2GBE
How utterly sad this is what it has come to in #London, that the police are so cowered by the antisemitic mob, that they even cover this Holocaust memorial. Churchill is probably rolling in his grave now! https://t.co/2fMB96xkwG
Met Police cover up Britain’s first public Holocaust memorial during pro-Palestine protests. Follow: @AFpost https://t.co/QeIgPiERnF
Anger in London as Holocaust memorial was covered up over fears it would be vandalised by antisemitic “pro-Palestine” activists. https://t.co/pHu9wprULl
How safe can London’s streets be for Jewish people when even Holocaust memorials need covering up? Police efforts to protect Jewish memorials and communities show that protests in London are not peaceful. At what point are we going to start acknowledging and addressing this? https://t.co/2HSKYKBOSb
