‘The people of Iran are on your side,’ says peace activist at London rally for Israel’s kidnapped
Thousands in Parliament Square listen to Instagram's @lily_moo's passionate speech condemning Hamas and the antisemitism that Jewish people are facing
An Iranian peace activist has told thousands calling for the release of the hostages that she, along with British Iranians and the people of Iran, stands with them and condemns all terroristic attacks on civilians who condemn Hamas.
The activist, whose Instagram handle is @lily_moo, gave a powerful speech at the rally, which took place earlier today in Parliament Square today, stating: “The atrocity that is being celebrated today in London, in Paris, in Milan, all over America.. the atrocity that is only antisemitic.. there is nothing, absolutely nothing humanist about this fight. This attack.
“The antisemitic behaviour we are witnessing here in London is appalling. The celebration of terrorism we are witnessing here is appalling. And when I say antisemitic I mean it.”
She added: “When they say ‘From the River to thee Sea, they are chanting for genocide.
“So for freedom for freedom, for life, for women, I will stay with you. The people of Iran are on your side, and on the side of humanity and not terror. On October 7, Hamas decided to show its true face to the world.”
