The tensions in England over the ongoing conflict in Palestine have escalated, with pro-Palestinian demonstrations sparking outrage and resistance among English hooligans and fan organizations.
In recent weeks, pro-Palestinian protesters have vandalized several buildings, including the Rochdale Monument, prompting a backlash from English hooligan and fan groups. They argue that the demonstrations are disrespectful to English spaces and have nothing to do with the ongoing conflict in the Middle East.
Amidst the commemoration of Armistice Day, calls have been made for football fans across the country to stand in solidarity with the British army. Some have even suggested arriving armed with cold weapons, adding fuel to the fire and raising concerns about potential violence.
Social media posts show clashes breaking out in London, as people chant “England ’till I die” and attempt to reach the Cenotaph, the national war memorial. The situation remains tense, with both sides expected to come into contact as the day progresses.
The ongoing tensions highlight the impact of the conflict in Palestine on communities outside the region and the potential for further unrest as different factions clash in the streets of London. The situation is developing and will continue to be monitored as the day unfolds.
