London, 8 December 2024

Invited by “The Campaign Against Antisemitism", Dr Shimon Samuels joined the rally marching through London, from the Strand to the Houses of Parliament.

Despite the cold and rain, some thirty-two thousand gathered, including British Jews and Gentiles, Zionists, Israelis, as well as members of the Iranian dissident diaspora. The organizers had invited all Members of Parliament, but none attended.

Participants waved Israeli and British flags, as well as Iranian pre-Islamic-republic flags, and carried placards bearing slogans such as “Act Against Hate Before it’s Too Late”, “Zero Tolerance for Antisemites”, “LSE = London School of Extremism” [the LSE was Samuels’ alma mater], or “Shoulder to Shoulder With British Jews”...

Samuels proposed to repeat such marches across Europe.
