There is a modest rock in Hyde Park, which is a Holocaust Memorial at a spot called the Dell, where once a year, a small group of people gathers to mock

Holocaust Remembrance Day, and they covered it over in this sort of blue tarpaulin.

It looked like a burqa.

Why?

Because the so-called Palestine March was believed to be rooted near that memorial.

Again, I ask you, why would you need to cover a Holocaust memorial for a group of people who would claim they're marching for peace, who would claim they don't have any animosity to Jews?

Why would you need to protect a Holocaust memorial?

In fact, what I think those people need is more Holocaust memorials along their routes.

They need to be reminded what it is to persecute and target Jews.

And those who don't realise that's what they're taking part in, because people always say this to me, well, I know someone who went or I went and that's not what I meant when I was there.

I just asked them to look around themselves because I know people who've gone to those marches in the past with the best of intentions and said to me, I looked around and saw what I was inadvertently supporting or who I was with or what a lot of the people there were saying.

And I would also urge people to dig deeper and learn more about the Palestinian cause, because I think the cause itself is actually quite problematic and unworthy of many people's support if they knew much more about it and its commitment to terrorism over the years.

Well, the Palestinians in the Levant are not good at democracy in elections.

So you're right that Hamas was voted in in the Gaza Strip after the Israeli disengagement from the territory.

They completely withdrew unilaterally, said, here we go.

We've taken all the Jews out to the extent that they dug up Jewish corpses from Jewish cemeteries.

They literally said, we will take out all the Jews alive and dead.

People were exhumed from their graves.

They evacuated their synagogues, their homes, but they did leave plenty there as well.

They left a thriving greenhouse economy, agricultural or flowers, I can't remember which it was now, which could have been the basis of a thriving economy for the Palestinians living there.
