The leader of the Al Quds Day march - who was previously investigated by police for blaming "Zionists" for the Grenfell fire - has used this year's event to claim "the far-right and Israelis are all one" - though far-right demonstrators told the JC "Jews don't like us and we're anti-Zionist".

In another carefully planned stunt at Sunday's anti-Israel march from the Home Office to Downing Street, protestors gave a group of anti-Zionist Jewish a burning Israeli flag to brandish.

One of the demo's organisers, wearing an jacket marked Legal Adviser, was clutching the flag on a pole hidden from Metropolitan Police officers as it was moved along on the ground to the front of march.

The legal adviser said he wanted to hand the flag to the "rabbis at the front so they could do something."
