From blocking streets, disrupting malls to crashing events, pro-Hamas thugs are showing up everywhere, and it’s costing taxpayers around the globe. So far, in the UK alone, the bill is around £20 million ($25.5 million USD).
No Western country should be permitting these public hatefests, with their mantra calling for the obliteration of the world’s only Jewish state “from the River to the Sea,” as well as frequent antisemitic slurs. But in those countries that do permit the pro-Hamas demonstrations, the organizers should indeed pay for policing, not the taxpayers.

Pro-Palestine march organisers could be charged to help cover the costs of policing under proposals being looked at by the Home Office.
An official review by Lord Walney, the Government’s independent adviser on political violence and disruption, has said there is a case for charging because of the “great amount of police resource” being absorbed by the protests.

A quote from a Hungarian Jew:
“How is it that we didn’t do something? Well, things didn’t happen at once. Things happened very slowly. So each time a new law came out, or a new restriction, we said “Well just another thing. It will blow over. When we had to wear a yellow star to be outside, we started to worry.”.
