The UK government and police urged the cancellation of an anti-Israel protest following a deadly synagogue attack in Manchester during Yom Kippur, resulting in two deaths and four injuries. Despite pleas to cancel, the protest proceeded, with London Metropolitan Police arresting 365 people for violating a ban on supporting Palestine Action, a group the UK Parliament moved to ban in July under the Terrorism Act 2000. The protest organizers, Defend Our Juries, remained defiant, claiming Palestine Action was labeled a terror group for exposing the British government's complicity in genocide. British Prime Minister Keir Starmer called on protesters to respect the grief of British Jews, stating it was a moment of mourning and not a time to stoke tension.
