During a Nakba Day rally in London on May 16, 2026, protesters were filmed chanting violent slogans aimed at supporters of Tommy Robinson, whose “Unite the Kingdom” rally was held the same day.
The chant included calls to “string ’em up like Mussolini” and to “shoot ’em in the neck like Charlie Kirk,” in reference to “Tommy’s crew.”
The footage highlights the growing radicalization on display at anti-Israel and pro-Palestinian street rallies in the West, where political protest increasingly crosses into open incitement and threats against political opponents.
The incident also raises serious questions for British authorities: how are such chants tolerated in the heart of London, and why is violent rhetoric from extremist protest movements often treated with far less urgency than rhetoric from their opponents?
