Jewish group in UK calls for expulsion of Israeli ambassador

Solidarity with Palestinians comes from a diverse range of voices. A picket by members of the International Jewish Anti-Zionist Network and their comrades determined to ensure Israeli Ambassador Tzipi Hotovely's expulsion from the UK.

She is a war criminal; she has incited genocide against the Palestinians. She has no place in this country.

  Anti-Zionist Jewish group in UK calls for expulsion of Israeli ambassador

  An anti-Zionist Jewish group has been demanding the expulsion of the Israeli ambassador from the UK.

An example of Tzipi Hotovely using genocidal language is evident on a British digital radio channel (LBC) in the early days of the Israeli onslaught on Gaza.

Every school, every mosque, every second house has an access to tunnel and, of course, munitions.

That is an argument for flattening the whole of Gaza; every single building.

So do you have another solution?

She has made similar comments on multiple occasions since then.

The International Jewish Anti-Zionist Network, and their non-Jewish friends, used to protest outside her residence, that is, until police banned them from that spot.

We have a major problem with the British police.

They either are terrified of the Zionists, or they're getting their orders from the Zionists, because every Friday, there are incidents where the Zionists allowed to stop us, to abuse us.

A 16 year old girl had sexual abuse and suggested measures from the Zionists.

The police did nothing about that.

Instead, they pursued her.

  UK police clash with pro-Palestinian protesters during London march

  UK police have clashed with pro-Palestine protesters during a fresh Free Palestine demonstration in London, as the British government continues to silence the pro-Palestinian voices across the country.

Since that police ban, the protesters have moved outside the Swiss Cottage Library in northwest London.

But even there, they're being harassed by pro-Zionist supporters.

The push to get Hotovely expelled is not limited to the streets of Britain.

An online petition launched on changr.org has amassed over 136,000 signatures.

The British government is yet to take action.

They are supporters of Zionism. It's terrible.

You vote Tory, or you vote Labour, all you get is the government, which is Zionist, and they have been supporting her and telling the police to support her.

And we find that disgusting. It means they are supporting a genocide and apartheid.

Sam Weinstein, International Jewish Anti-Zionist Network

They have protested here, without fail, every Friday since October last year and they say they will continue to do so until the Israeli ambassador is kicked out.
