Students at Oxford University, alongside members of the Your Party, participated in a demonstration chanting "long live the Intifada" mere hours after a mass shooting in Bondi Beach, Australia. This protest, though organized beforehand, occurred in solidarity with eight alleged members of Palestine Action, a group proscribed as terrorist in the UK, who were on hunger strike awaiting trial for alleged break-ins at an Israeli defense company and an RAF base. Similar protests took place in other UK cities.
Your Party co-founder Zarah Sultana was present at HMP Bronzefield, vowing to remain until a hunger-striking inmate was taken to the hospital, which later occurred. A spokesperson for Your Party condemned the Sydney attack as horrifying and expressed solidarity with Jewish communities, while also stating their rejection of attempts to oppose antisemitism with the Palestinian freedom struggle.
Following the Bondi Beach massacre, UK police forces announced they would take action, including arrests, against intimidating placards and chants like "globalise the intifada," emphasizing the real-world consequences of such rhetoric. This stance was supported by the UK's chief rabbi, who viewed it as a step against hateful speech that inspires violence. Police had already begun making arrests for offenses including chanting calls for "intifada" and alleged hate speech. The heightened police visibility for upcoming Hanukkah events, following the Sydney incident, was criticized by the Palestinian Solidarity Campaign director as a repression of protest rights and free speech.
