Protesters chanting 'globalise the intifada' to face arrest after Bondi Beach terror attack
UK police will arrest protesters chanting 'globalise the intifada' to deter intimidation amid heightened threats after the Bondi Beach terror attack, officials said.
- On Wednesday, Met Commissioner Sir Mark Rowley and Greater Manchester Police Chief Constable Sir Stephen Watson said they will arrest protesters chanting 'globalise the intifada' to deter intimidation after recent terror attacks.
- Rising antisemitic incidents prompted chiefs to note that the Bondi Beach mass shooting, Sydney, and Heaton Park synagogue attack, Manchester, changed the context with a surge in antisemitism.
- Frontline officers will be briefed on the new measures and visible patrols and protective security around synagogues, schools and Jewish community venues will be stepped up, police said.
- Police said the immediate aim is to deter intimidation and protect communities, noting the Crown Prosecution Service cautioned many phrases may not meet prosecution thresholds while campaigners urged monitoring potential chilling effects.
- Debate over the slogan's meaning continues, with experts noting campaigners said police did not consult the Palestine Coalition and some Jewish groups welcomed a tougher response, while the Institute for Middle East Understanding and American Jewish Committee contest the meaning of 'intifada'.
