"The statue of Sir Winston Churchill in Parliament Square has been defaced with graffiti branding the former prime minister a "Zionist war criminal". Other phrases including "Stop the Genocide" and "Free Palestine" were sprayed in red paint on the bronze sculpture in Westminster. Further graffiti reads "Never again is Now" and "Globalise the Intifada"."
"In December both the Metropolitan Police and Greater Manchester Police announced anyone chanting "globalise the intifada" would face arrest. The decision by the two forces came in the wake of the Bondi Beach terror attack, and the terror attack at Heaton Park synagogue in Manchester in October."
The bronze statue of Sir Winston Churchill in Parliament Square, Westminster, was vandalized with red paint graffiti containing multiple political messages. The defacement included phrases branding Churchill a "Zionist war criminal," alongside slogans such as "Stop the Genocide," "Free Palestine," "Never again is Now," and "Globalise the Intifada." The statue was cordoned off and cleaning operations began Friday morning. This incident follows recent police announcements from the Metropolitan Police and Greater Manchester Police declaring that chanting "globalise the intifada" would result in arrest, a decision made following terror attacks in Bondi Beach and at Heaton Park synagogue in Manchester.
