'These were not protests, they were celebrations!' Nigel Farage condemns Palestinian gatherings amid Hamas attack
Nigel Farage has condemned “shocking scenes” of gatherings of Palestinians across the country which he says the media has ‘got wrong’.
Following a surprise attack on Israel by terrorist group Hamas, which has now left thousands of people dead, many have gathered in apparent protest of these deplorable actions.
However, the motives of some behind the gatherings and demonstrations has become increasingly unclear.
“These were not Palestinian protests, they were Palestinian celebrations. They were out in the streets celebrating acts of kidnap, rape and murder committed by Hamas.”

He described the content of some of this footage as “all sorts of the vilest, most racist and basest things, frankly, you could ever hear.”
In the clip, a man can be heard to say “Israel is a terrorist state”, whilst pointing his index finger to the sky.
Nigel made his disgust at the man clear, saying: “When he was asked about the murder of innocent civilians, he had absolutely nothing to say!”
Aside from the man’s comments, Nigel drew attention to the gesture the man made with his hand during the video.

She added: “Police should look at chants such as ‘from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free’,” which as Nigel points out, implies the obliteration of Israel as a state.
The GB News presenter went on to question whether the police were doing enough to tackle these demonstrations, pointing out that there were “very few arrests.”
“If any of you stood outside a mosque tonight in Central London and shouted out foul abuse about the Muslim religion, I think within about half an hour, maybe 20 minutes, you would have your collar felt by the old bill.’
