Police in the United Kingdom have made their first arrests since announcing their intent to crack down on people making public calls to globalise the Intifada after Australia's Bondi Beach attack, speciously linking largely peaceful protests against Israel's genocidal war with a deadly targeting of a Jewish festival. London's Metropolitan Police posted on X late on Wednesday that it had made four arrests at pro-Palestinian protests held outside the Ministry of Justice in Westminster, all involving the alleged shouting or chanting of slogans involving calls for intifada.
