The Phoenix Cinema in Finchley, North London, was vandalized by pro-Palestine activists ahead of a screening of a documentary titled 'Supernova', which addresses the massacre at the Nova music festival on October 7th. The activists spray-painted graffiti with the message 'No art washing' on the cinema. The film depicts the brutal attack by Hamas, where 330 young festival-goers were butchered, raped, and abducted. In response to the vandalism, a counter-protest by Israeli supporters and local residents, featuring British flags, gathered outside the cinema to show solidarity and support for Israel. The Metropolitan Police and a Jewish security organization have been involved in addressing the incident. The cinema also faced a boycott from director Ken Loach. Zionism was prominently displayed on the streets during the counter-protest.
A cinema showing a film about the October 7 Hamas terror attacks has been vandalised by pro-Palestine protesters. Political commentator Samara Gill: "If they viewed that documentary, their minds would change." @andrejpwalker @virtualash @loisperry26 @dailysamara1 https://t.co/ybc5bj0Ft6
I used live in East Finchley. I used to go to this cinema. And I know many members of its large Jewish community. They have every right to watch a documentary about what happened on October 7th. This is just ugly intimidation and antisemitism dressed up as protest. https://t.co/lHNHzsjBgj

London’s Hamas apologists have finally met their match. The ‘pro-Palestine’ mob tried to disrupt a screening of a film about the 7 October massacre. But Finchley’s Jewish community told them where to go, writes James Heartfield https://t.co/7y9sLksxhS

Quite a crowd. The haters wanted to stop the screening of a film of Hamas atrocities at the Phoenix. So the people came out to tell the Hamas supporters what they could do with their hate. Zionism was on the streets and proud in Finchley tonight. Blue and White everywhere. https://t.co/xTl7P6RpJr
Jews and other supporters of Israel chase pro-Palestine protestors out of Finchley (London). If the Jewish community is to survive in Britain they must take this approach with Islamists. Well done for standing up to the bullies. 🤝 https://t.co/kMnRpM6Stc

This London cinema is showing a film about the Nova festival massacre. If you can't have sympathy for the victims of that atrocity, what are you? Yet the cinema was vandalised by pro-Hamas activists. https://t.co/pnqEu8zIvT https://t.co/hOnGss4tRh
A screening tonight at Phoenix Cinema in North London (my lovely local indie) of a documentary about Nova music festival massacre on October 7th is desecrated. How can a film about innocent young people butchered, raped and abducted be “Art Washing”? #PeaceforAll #Nova https://t.co/jvVSb5ktWs
