\"\"<\/a>I was in London last Saturday as two rival marches took to the streets. The pro-Arab \u2018Nakba\u2019 march competed for media and political attention with \u2018Unite The Kingdom\u2019 and its support for our Christian heritage. The organisers of the former actually declared it a \u2018March for Palestine \u2013 United against Tommy Robinson & the far right.\u2019 The Unite the Kingdom people were unconcerned with the Nakba march, except as a symptom of the failure of multiculturalism. Their target was the UK\u2019s political elite.<\/p>\n

The Nakba March<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/a>Deciding to walk from Paddington Station to Parliament Square, by the grace of God I came across the antisemitic \u2018Nakba\u2019 gathering in Exhibition Road, London SW7, before it set off via Marble Arch for Pall Mall. Placards, some of which bore the imprint of the far-left Socialist Workers Party or its subsidiary \u2018Stand up to Racism\u2019, said \u2018Smash the Far Right\u2019, \u2018Oppose Tommy Robinson – Stop Fascists & the Far Right\u2019, \u2018Women Against the Far Right – Reject Racism – Refugees are not to blame,\u2019 \u2018STOP Islamophobia, STOP the Far Right\u2019, with Tommy Robinson\u2019s face in \u2018STOP\u2019 where the \u2018O\u2019 should be,\u2019 and \u2018Unite Against the Far Right & Reform\u2019.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>So much for the hatred of opponents found in routine leftism. The pro-Muslim ingredient had in addition: \u2018Freedom for Palestine\u2019, \u2018End the Siege\u2019, and inevitably,\u2018From the River to the Sea, Palestine will be Free – Back the Resistance\u2019.<\/p>\n

Plainly they do not mean the Holy Land should be free of Islam, Hamas or the equally-corrupt \u2018Palestinian Authority\u2019. They mean the whole land between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea should be purged of Jews.<\/p>\n

The \u2018Nakba\u2019 78<\/h2>\n

\u2018Nakba\u2019 is Arabic for \u2018Catastrophe\u2019 and this is the 78th year since it is said to have happened in 1948. In this context, the \u2018Palestine Solidarity Campaign\u2019 explains it was<\/b><\/a> the displacement of hundreds of thousands of Arabs (or \u2018Palestinians\u2019). They say: \u2018Between 1947-1949, Zionist militias instigated a campaign of ethnic cleansing across historic Palestine\u2019. Well, firstly, it was across historic Israel<\/i><\/b>, given to the descendants of Jacob by God himself. To take just one verse out of dozens referring to God\u2019s promise of \u2018The Promised Land\u2019:<\/p>\n

Deut 11:31 For ye shall pass over Jordan to go in to possess the land which the LORD your God giveth you, and ye shall possess it, and dwell therein.<\/b><\/p>\n

So Israel are not \u2018occupiers\u2019, for the land was given them by God himself.<\/p>\n

The 1948 war<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/a>Secondly, what the Palestine Solidarity Campaign forget to tell you is why the displacement happened. A civil war began in 1947 just before the British Mandate for the Holy Land was due to expire. Arab militias and mobs attacked Jewish areas as a reaction to a UN Partition Plan. The British withdrew, and Zionist forces launched a counter-offensive in April 1948, conquering and depopulating town and villages.<\/p>\n

Israel Declared Independence on 14th May 1948 as the Mandate expired. The following morning, Egypt, Transjordan, Syria, Iraq and Lebanon launched an invasion into the Holy Land, taking control of Arab areas and attacking Israeli forces and settlements. After 10 months of fighting, the Israelis were victorious and regained the land. Soon after, Transjordan annexed East Jerusalem and what became known as the West Bank. Israel would not recapture Judea and Samaria (the \u2018West Bank\u2019) until 1967.<\/p>\n

Expulsions happen in war, but we are never told that a similar number of Jews fled from or were expelled by the surrounding Arab states in the three years following the war. Some quarter of a million relocated in Israel.<\/p>\n

Unite the Kingdom<\/h2>\n
\"\"<\/a>
Unite the Kingdom Rally<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

It is a good walk from Knightsbridge to Parliament Square, but I was greeted by a sea of flags, of which the Union flag, St George\u2019s Cross and the sun and lion of Persia (or Iran) were the most prominent. The Nakba crowd included apologists for the Ayatollahs currently in control of Iran. In contrast, Iranian ex-pats, genuine refugees from terror and supporters of the Shah in exile were welcomed by Tommy Robinson\u2019s supporters.<\/p>\n

I felt a spirit of antisemitism and antichrist at the Nakba march. There was nothing like that in Parliament Square last Saturday. They were overwhelmingly a working-class gathering, determined but good-natured, with a large contingent of men who, if two other football teams had made it, might have been found supporting them at Wembley for that afternoon\u2019s FA Cup Final.<\/p>\n

Instead, they brought their knack of inventing chants along to the rally, exploiting any lull in proceedings by singing \u2018Keir Starmer is a w—–.\u2019 Journalist Will Jones, writing in Daily Sceptic<\/b><\/a>, reported Jonathan Sacerdoti\u2019s comments in the Spectator. I can vouch for the accuracy of this excerpt:<\/p>\n

\u2018Perhaps the strangest thing about the Unite the Kingdom rally was just how unremarkable it felt. There were no mass chants calling for the death of particular groups, no calls for the eradication of foreign countries and no flags of terrorist groups or tyrannical theocracies waved in the crowd. Nobody cited scripture to urge the slaughter of another people, nobody waved terrorist symbols and nobody I saw during the entire day covered their face.\u2019<\/p>\n

Christian evangelism<\/h2>\n
\"Pastor<\/a>
Pastor Rikki Doolan preaches at Unite the Kingdom<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Last year, in prison, Tommy Robinson accepted the Lord Jesus Christ. There had been a Christian atmosphere at the Unite the Kingdom rally last year. It isn\u2019t hard to find when our flags have the cross of Christ on them.<\/p>\n

This year, the Christian message was even more explicit, with evangelism from Pastor Rikki Doolan<\/b><\/a>, Tommy himself and a young black woman<\/b><\/a> who gave an impassioned speech. The crowd did not object, but as with anywhere today, I sensed it will take a mighty move of the Holy Spirit before the Christian faith becomes a reality in every heart present. For what lies ahead, they will need the power of the Spirit, that\u2019s for sure. The Bible says:<\/p>\n

Psa 119:126 It is time for thee, LORD, to work: for they have made void thy law.<\/b><\/p>\n

\"Bishop<\/a>
Bishop Anderson Jeremiah at a ‘Listening Table’<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

We should pray that work of the Lord includes him raising up able, humble, honest, truthful men of God to lead us, and telling us what we need to do to bring them into power in this land.<\/p>\n

It is very clear the established church does not understand \u2018Unite the Kingdom\u2019 at all, or possibly ascension theology, where Jesus really is King of kings, despite Ascension Day itself falling two days before the rally. I have argued before that Ascension is \u2018The Feast the Church forgot\u2019<\/b><\/a>. Church Times reported<\/b><\/a> both the Bishop of Edmonton, Dr Anderson Jeremiah, and ultra-liberal Baptist minister Sally Mann setting up \u2018Listening Tables\u2019 near the rally, in order to \u2018listen and to hear their pain\u2019 and preach \u2018a way of love and welcome, not division and fear\u2019. The Trojans welcomed the gift of a horse from the Greeks<\/b><\/a> in mythology, as I recall.<\/p>\n

Which march did Keir Starmer denounce?<\/h2>\n

Now, out of the two marches, the one celebrating Britain\u2019s Christian heritage, the other bonding communists and Islamists together over murderous antisemitism, which one do you imagine Keir Starmer supported?<\/p>\n

Which one was it that Keir Starmer specifically attacked in a social media video, calling its organizers \u2018convicted thugs and racists, peddling hatred and division, plain and simple\u2019?<\/p>\n

It was \u2018Unite the Kingdom\u2019, of course. Sir Keir knows that Reform are breathing down the Labour neck, no less than Makerfield of by-election fame. But personally, he is more concerned about what Labour MPs think of him.<\/p>\n

Hence his appeal to the leftist heart rather than to the betrayed working class, speaking of United the Kingdom people like this: \u2018Their goal is to convince people that Britain\u2019s problems are caused by those living alongside them but that is not the Britain that I know,\u2019 Starmer said. Well, my impression is that the \u2018Uniters\u2019, and millions like them, don\u2019t need much convincing to realise that Britain\u2019s problems have been caused by the elite, by people like him.<\/p>\n

Separate ghettos<\/h2>\n

As for his \u2018those living alongside them\u2019 jibe, he needs to spend more time venturing out in the United Kingdom rather than jetting off to mix with his WEF friends. In the Northern cities he will find Muslims, singled out by Unite the Kingdom speakers, do not actually \u2018live alongside\u2019 British people. They have formed their own ghettos, where English, if spoken at all, is very much a second language.<\/p>\n

\"Residents<\/a>
Residents in Crowborough object to migrants housed next door to them.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Meanwhile, in somewhere like Crowborough, or around the Bell Hotel in Epping, he will indeed discover small boat migrants living \u2018alongside\u2019 residents, who are now terrified of crime including sexual attacks on their women and girls.<\/p>\n

In Daily Sceptic, Will Jones ventured that Keir Starmer \u2018Condemned the Wrong Rally\u2019. He did, in the courts of heaven, but if his target audience was his own MPs, he maybe thought it was worth alienating working-class Britons if he clings onto his office of Prime Minster for just a little longer.<\/p>\n

Attention from overseas<\/h2>\n
\"US<\/a>
US Vice-President J D Vance tells Europe’s self-satisfied elite some home truths.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The government blocked 11 foreign nationals described by Keir Starmer as \u201cfar-right agitators\u201d from entering the UK ahead of the march.<\/p>\n

From the United States, J D Vance supported the Tommy Robinson rally. ITV News reported<\/b><\/a> the US Vice-President saying it is \u201cOK to defend your culture\u201d. The Republican said it was reasonable for people \u2018to want to control who comes into their country\u2019 and urged them to \u2018keep on going\u2019.<\/p>\n

Last year, on Fox News\u2019 Ingraham Angle, Vice-President Vance remarked that \u2018Europe is at risk of engaging in civilizational suicide.\u2019 \u2018They are unable or unwilling to control their borders\u2026You see them starting to limit the free speech of their own citizens,\u2019 Vance noted. Hungarians were pleased<\/b><\/a> he highlighted Hungary as one of the few bright spots on the continent\u2014refusing to follow Western European countries down a destructive path.<\/p>\n

The number of those attending the United Kingdom rally was estimated by the police to be about 60,000. It could have been more, but according to the Guardian<\/b><\/a>, \u2018campaign group Hope Not Hate nevertheless said the scale of Robinson\u2019s movement remained \u201cdeeply worrying\u201d.\u2019 The elite, the Islamo-left and the multiculturalists should be worried that their time is coming to an end. All the same, they would be better off repenting and following the incarnate, crucified, risen, ascended, glorified Lord Jesus, the King of kings and great Sovereign over our land, to whom even king Charles himself and all his ministers must kneel.<\/p>\n

Isa 45:23 I have sworn by myself, the word is gone out of my mouth in righteousness, and shall not return, That unto me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall swear.<\/strong>
\nRom 14:11 For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God.<\/strong>
\nPhp 2:10 That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;<\/strong><\/p>\n
