Police accused of bias in approach to protests
Met looked the other way as tiny group held up huge pro-Palestine rally to US embassy

POLICE have been accused of “absolutely shameful” partisanship towards zionists while tens of thousands in central London stood up to US President Donald Trump’s deranged threats to ethnically cleanse Gaza.

Officers were criticised for failing to act as half-a-dozen counter-protesters held up the huge crowds marching from Whitehall to the US embassy on Saturday.

Jewish Voice for Labour founder Mike Cushman said that the front of the march was passing by the Tate Modern when it was obstructed by zionist protesters for up to 15 minutes.
