In London, a series of pro-Palestinian marches has sparked controversy due to participants displaying swastikas and other Nazi symbols. The Metropolitan Police's response to these actions has further fueled the outrage. Officers were reported to suggest that the context of these symbols could render them "not necessarily antisemitic" or disruptive to public order. This stance, summarized as "depends on context" by an officer, has led to widespread criticism, with many accusing the police of failing to protect Jewish residents and others from hate speech and potential violence. The incident has raised questions about the safety of Jews in London and the standards of policing regarding hate symbols.

We‘ve reached a situation where swastikas are permitted at an anti-Israel demonstration in London because the British policeman says it’s fine and "depends on the context"! Who would have believed that we’ve regressed by 80 years... https://t.co/AXM22lSLne

Apparently the Met Police don't think the Swastika carried on pro-Palestinian marches is offensive. No doubt they will be telling us next, this is a Butlins holiday camp. They must be the contestants for the knobbly knees competition. https://t.co/s4Yme8B5hk

According to the @metpoliceuk a Swastika is "not necessarily anti-Semitic or a disruption to public order". He adds: "Everything needs to be taken in context...What are you confused about." Two-tier policing meets the pig ignorant, Keystone Cops. https://t.co/2e7INWdymH
This was London yesterday, with pro-Hamas, pro-rape mob out in full force. Shame on London! Churchill must be rolling in his grave! https://t.co/SiTlesMsFL
A London police officer was unwilling to intervene against people carrying Nazi symbols at the anti-Israel protest in London today He said “it depends on the co text whether they are illegal or not” Where have we heard that before? Via @emilykschrader https://t.co/Bask72p2aQ
Modern-day Nazis are apparently welcome on the streets of London at a pro-Palestinian march. https://t.co/pqVjKUTEov
London doesn’t seem safe for Jews anymore https://t.co/y9awRSLn9E
London, 2024. An alarmed woman asks a policeman why he doesn't take action against someone waving a swastika. "It's not necessarily antisemitic," he explains, calmly sipping his coffee. https://t.co/5qQTRbksd1
In London, swastika signs seem allowed, "depends on context" says this police officer. https://t.co/HrDI0sq9Ez
Met police officer seems unaware why swastika on a placard might cause offence or alarm. https://t.co/zM1TGccywd
Looking at the Palestinian pro-Hamas, pro-genocide, pro-rape rally in #London today, I really can’t imagine how the city has become a ‘no-go zone’ for Jews. Hey @SadiqKhan @metpoliceuk? https://t.co/SGTsuQy3Jl
The pro-terrorist mob is marching through London carrying their genocidal signs. https://t.co/uFohdPKvwV
I see the pro-Hamas, pro-genocide, pro-rape crowd is out in full force in #London again. I know exactly what Churchill would say to them now: https://t.co/72ImL1GH5H
