Called protesters 'Islamist thugs' and summoned the police to duty

The Sun, one of the most widely read right-wing tabloid newspapers in the UK, has caused surprise with its report on anti-Israel protests. Addressing the British police, the newspaper pointed to 'Armistice Day,' which is celebrated in the United Kingdom on the eleventh day of the eleventh month every year. 

Calling on the British police, the newspaper stated that unwanted incidents could occur if pro-Palestine demonstrators and British citizens participating in 'Armistice Day' commemorations were to cross paths. 

'Armistice Day' is the date the armistice agreement was signed in World War I. The armistice agreement, which began at 11:00 a.m. on November 11, 1918, means the laying down of arms in Latin. Since that day, this special day has been celebrated in a festive atmosphere in the United Kingdom every November. 

In the report, where the newspaper insulted Palestine supporters by calling them 'Islamist thugs, ignorant youths, and the leftists who applaud them,' it stated that major problems could arise if British nationalists were to encounter this group. The newspaper also attacked Westerners calling for a ceasefire in Palestine with harsh words, criticizing them with the phrase, "naive Westerners who try to excuse Hamas's slaughter of 1,400 Jews and call for a ceasefire."  

Stating that "most of Britain wants this scream of Islamist hatred to be stopped," the newspaper wrote that the police should take this risk into account and ban the marches if necessary.
