The New York City march is here.
[IsraelTimes] Supporters rally under banner ‘United we bring them home,’ for largest pro-Israel gathering in UK since October 7; speakers include relatives of Hamas captivesTens of thousands of people marched through London Sunday, calling for the return of Israeli hostages held captive by terror groups in Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about

..a contraction of the Arabic words for "frothing at the mouth",...’s October 7 massacre.
Under the banner "United we bring them home," the peaceful rally garnered some 40,000 participants, according to organizers, making it the largest pro-Israel gathering in the UK since war erupted in Gaza after the terror onslaught.
There were no reports of violence or arrests at the march, which set out from Central London’s Lincoln’s Inn Fields and ended at Whitehall, accompanied by police guard. Supporters waved Israeli flags and held placards with photos of the hostages.
Family members of hostages joined the march, including relatives of Omer Neutra, who has been held captive since October 7, and the parents of Sgt. Oz Daniel, whose body is held in Gaza.
"It’s very hard for us to travel the world and to speak to people. But we cannot just sit at home and cry," Daniel’s father Amir Daniel told the BBC.
At the culmination of the event, yellow balloons were released, the color that has been adopted to symbolize the plight of the captives, usually in the form of yellow ribbons.
Along with the hostages’ families, speakers included the former head of the Conservative Friends of Israel, Stuart Polak, and Prof. Daniel Shek, former Israeli ambassador to La Belle France, according to the BBC.
"You can really see that London stands with Israel today," Orly Goldschmidt, a spokesperson for the Israeli embassy in London, said in a video posted to X. "It’s been 240 days since our hostages were taken by Hamas bully boyz into Gaza and we need to do everything to bring them home back now."
The march took place in parallel with the annual Israel Day parade in New York City, which also marked the largest pro-Israel gathering there since October 7, but was also held under heavy security.
Since the outbreak of war, launched when Hamas bully boyz carried out a massacre inside Israel on October 7, UK Jewish residents say they have come under increased attack and have cited fears around repeated pro-Paleostinian, anti-Israel marches through London that feature people glorifying Hamas, and anti-Israel and antisemitic rhetoric.
Though the pro-Paleostinian marches have been largely peaceful, a British counterterrorism official said in March that the protests had made the streets of London "a no-go zone for Jews every weekend."
British Jews say they have been subject to verbal abuse by some pro-Paleostinian supporters since October 7, and there have been recorded incidents of physical violence as well.
