Watch: Met violently arresting Jews for protesting sale of stolen Palestinian land
The British state’s war on UK rights and justice to protect Israel continues. Jewish protesters are demonstrating outside an event to sell stolen Palestinian land to colonisers today, 14 June 2026. But the Met Police is already arresting peaceful protesters — and appears to be targeting Jewish protesters for violent repression:
The protesters have been loud, but entirely peaceful — Met Police are out of line:
The event had already changed location trying to avoid the protests, after the first venue withdrew:
The Jewish Anti-Zionist Action group said:
Our protest was Immediately met with violent and disproportionate policing and counter demonstrations.
The outrageous sale of Palestinian land and property, including in illegal settlements in the West Bank, is not welcome in our Synagogues, or anywhere else.
We stand proud alongside over 100 other organisations, public figures and politicians, to demand that the Government take urgent action aganist this outrageous event, that very likely breaches UK and International law.
We know that during this same event in New York City only last month, land sales in Kfar Eldad, Karnei Shomron and other Israeli settlements in the occupied territories were advertised.
We will not stand by whilst this criminal activity now takes place in London.
The use of a synagogue for these events, as an attempt to shield themselves from rightful criticism and protest, is inexcusable, and as anti-zionist Jews we will defend our Synagogues from this exploitation.
We reject the use of our faith and culture as a justification for occupation, war crimes and the ongoing genocide.
We refuse the idea that our safety lies in the seizure of Palestinian land and the destruction of Palestinian life.
As British Jews we will resist any attempt to recruit us to the Israeli settler colonial project.
We affirm our rightful place here in the UK, standing in solidarity with our neighbours, and fighting for Palestinian and collective liberation.
END ALL LAND SALES NOW, FREE PALESTINE
The situation continues to develop. Solidarity with the people of Palestine and all those protesting peacefully against the theft of yet more of their land.
