VIDEO: anti-genocide protester reads poem about murdered child as he’s being arrested

An anti-genocide protester has read out a poem about a murdered nine-year-old Palestinian girl and her family as he was being arrested by the Metropolitan Police during today’s protests to mark two years of Israel’s genocide in Gaza:

Israel has slaughtered or starved to death almost 700,000 Palestinians, two thirds of them children according to Israeli military data, since 7 October 2023 on the pretext of a raid from Gaza into southern Israel that the Israeli regime knew about and told its troops to hold back, before ordering the ‘Hannibal doctrine’ slaughter of hundreds of its own people and then fabricating atrocity propaganda of mass rapes and beheaded or baked Israeli babies. Israel has killed almost 400,000 children under five in Gaza in the two years since.

The genocide, with its daily bombing of tents, hospitals and so-called ‘safe zones’ and the criminal starvation blockade, continues while western governments including that of the UK, collaborate.
