Hundreds of anti-genocide protesters have shut down Kings Cross station in London to mark the second anniversary of 7 October 2023, when Israel killed hundreds of its own people through the ‘Hannibal doctrine’ and used it as an excuse to begin a genocide that’s has killed almost 700,000 civilians in Gaza:

Kings Cross shut down

The protest at Kings Cross comes as the Starmer government pushes ahead with plans to restrict UK protest rights to protect Israel and its lobbyists from scrutiny.

As the Canary’s Alaa Shamali previously wrote, on the second anniversary of the Hamas attack on Israel of 7 October 2023, the repercussions of the major confrontation continue. It reshaped the political and security landscape in the Middle East, and profoundly affected the Israeli interior and the international situation surrounding Palestine. We’ve watched as Israel has waged a genocide on the people of Gaza for two years.

Despite the heavy human cost, this event marked a historic turning point. The Palestinian resistance managed to break through the wall of international indifference. Crucially, they have brought the Palestinian cause back to the forefront of the global consciousness as one of liberation and the rights of a people under occupation.

    No more than 200 people from the looks of it defended their “right” to protest. From a city of 9 million people.

    It was nice knowing a democratic United Kingdom 🇬🇧.
