UK's Extremism Adviser Expresses Concern at "Levels of Criminality" at Pro-Palestinian Protests
(Jewish Chronicle-UK) Lorin Bell-Cross - Lord Walney, the government's adviser on political violence and disruption, said Wednesday: "I have been really concerned with the level of criminality that has been on display on protests and the evident difficulty that police officers have in being able to charge all of that criminality event when it is readily in evidence at times on social media." While "the police cannot be everywhere," on Oct. 5 in London "there were banners on display in clear support of a proscribed terrorist organization, Hizbullah, committed to the violent eradication of Israel, which is in clear contravention of the law....Some of these clear offenses are not being immediately brought to justice in a way we'd like to see."
