Gove accuses protest organisers of not doing enough to stop ‘anti-Jewish hate’
Communities Secretary Michael Gove will accuse organisers of pro-Palestinian marches of not doing enough to stop some demonstrators spreading anti-Jewish messages in a speech condemning the rise in antisemitism in the UK.
The Cabinet minister will say that while many protesters are “thoughtful, gentle, compassionate people”, they are “side by side with those who are promoting hate”.
Critics have voiced concerns about the handling of the demonstrations and the effect they have on the UK’s Jewish community.
Organising groups have, are overwhelmingly peaceful with a low arrest rate.
