About photos
editI think photos in articles are not matching with articles itself. For instance, photo in "Petition" is about pro-Israel rally, but article itself is mainly about Pro-Palestine petitions. We should change this photo unless it will make readers to be confused. 180.80.23.65 (talk) 06:01, 26 November 2023 (UTC)

Content not neutral and not supported by sources
editOn 9 October, the Stop the War Coalition and Palestine Solidarity Campaign organised a demonstration in which hundreds marched in support of Hamas' attack on Israel through London's Kensington High Street and outside the embassy of Israel, including chants of "Intifada revolution". sourced by: https://www.reuters.com/world/uk/uk-antisemitic-incidents-soar-after-start-conflict-israel-2023-10-10/ https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2023/oct/09/thousands-attend-protests-and-vigils-in-london-over-israel-hamas-war Neither claim that the marches where in support of Hamas so that is a none neutral intrepretation. As Hamas is a proscribed organisation this article is accusing Stop the War Coalition and Palestine Solidarity Campaign of a crime. The police have made no such allegation. There have been individual arrests but not arresting those heading these organisations which there would be if this where true. Falsely accusing people of crimes is seriously libelous and neither article makes such an accusation. Only one source mentions chants of "Intifada revolution" and then only some and that wasn't sourced to either of the groups this article mentions. In the other article: 'Groups including Stop the War and the Palestine Solidarity Campaign gathered at the demonstration in Kensington, waving placards calling for Israel to “end the occupation”.' maybe more neutral would be 'waving placards calling for Israel to “end the occupation” and with chants of "Intifada revolution" also heard'. 86.163.122.74 (talk) 17:46, 22 March 2024 (UTC)
- Agreed, why hasn't this been updated in the main article? 193.237.152.169 (talk) 12:07, 4 April 2024 (UTC)
- I was thinking the same thing about the sources cited not supporting the allegations made with regard to the demonstrations in Kensington. In addition the suggestion of the the October March being the largest in London since the anti Iraq war is incorrect. There have been a number of larger demonstrations with over 500,000 turning up for an anti Brexit one to give one example. 136.148.39.20 (talk) 09:36, 8 April 2024 (UTC)
