The media, including the BBC, are so not helpful in calming down the situation. Plus, those morons demonstrating on streets... useful idiots...
We really don't want political polarisation in the UK like in the US.

@Ryo1 Mainstream media does seem to be focusing on one side of this historically long issue. I think the street marches in support of either side is good, as long as they maintain a civil attitude. Maybe that is too optimistic. Suella Braverman commenting that pro-Palestinian marchers should be arrested is a horrible idea. Amongst people, the last 10 days has shown that many do not view this as simply a horrible Hamas act, that there is a long history and that one side has by far suffered the worst. Watching the AlJezeera English service online has been fascinating, and their reporting is less "hair on fire".

People are entitled to their opinions and free speech, The right to protest is protected by law anyway. That said, on this occasion, the clash between the pro-Palestine and pro-Israel protesters generated so much hate that several Jewish schools had to be closed in London last weekend, and Jewish children have been advised to disguise their school uniforms so as not to become targets of hate crimes. The police made it clear that protesting for Palestine is within the legal right, but those who display any signs and symbols that represent Hamas, like paraglider images, will be dealt with as supporters of terrorism. Protests are also often hijacked by those with political agendas. They are manipulative individuals. To them, protesters, especially naive uni students, are useful idiots.
I hardly watch any news by the BBC nowadays. There is a huge question mark on the impartiality of the national broadcaster. AL Jezeera is not bad. I also watch DW News. Comprehensive and balanced.
