Pro-Palestine protesters swarm busy St Pancras station during rush hour

St Pancras #StPancras

Pro-Palestine protesters swarmed St Pancras station this morning and took over the concourse with a demonstration against the war between Israel and Hamas.

Free Palestine activists took to the station floor this morning (Thursday, November 2) to demand an end to Israel’s bombing of Gaza.

In a video posted on X (formerly Twitter), the group can be heard chanting: “Stop bombing Gaza. Not in our name.”

One protestor can be seen holding a sign reading: “Jews say ceasefire now!”

Other signs say “Occupation no more” and “None of us are free until Palestine is free”.

Kirsty (@Kirstyish) posted the video on X with the caption: “Big #FreePalestine protest in St Pancras right now. Jewish folks saying #NotInOurName. It’s pretty emotionally charged her.”

The group is protesting the Israeli bombing of Gaza, which has seen more than 7,500 be killed by strikes, according to the Gaza health ministry.

Israeli strikes of Gaza have been expanded following an attack by terrorist group Hamas three weeks ago which saw 1,400 people killed and 229 taken hostage.

The action in St Pancras follows one yesterday (November 1) at Liverpool Street Station in London where there was a sit-in organised by direct action group Sisters Uncut with speakers from the Palestinian Youth Movement and International Jewish Anti-Zionist Network.

And at the weekend 70,000 people marched on London’s streets to demand an end to the bombing of Gaza.

Similar protests took place on the two previous weekends, with marchers chanting: “Stop arming Israel. We are all Palestinian.”

Others have held signs that say “stop the massacre”, “free Palestine” and “end Israeli occupation”.
