Met Police are so cowed by the anti-semitic mob, they even cover up the Holocaust memorial

From the Daily Mail

Scotland Yard was facing yet more anger from Jewish groups on Saturday after a Holocaust memorial was covered up over fears it would be vandalised by pro-Palestine activists.

Officials in Hyde Park yesterday hid Britain’s first public memorial to the six million victims of the Nazi genocide under a blue tarpaulin in a move one Holocaust survivor called ‘shameful’.

The monument was then guarded by Metropolitan Police officers to stop it being targeted by pro-Palestine protesters who marched through London in yet another demonstration against the war in Gaza.

 Lord Pickles, who has been spearheading moves to get a national Holocaust memorial built next to the Houses of Parliament, said: ‘The sight of this precious memorial to the Holocaust being wrapped in plastic sheeting is truly shocking.

‘Have we become so cowed and fearful in this country that instead of expecting pro-Palestinian protesters to obey the law, we hide away the memorial to save it from vandalism?’

Former Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn was among those holding banners at the front of the pro-Palestine protest.

 The memorial consists of two boulders lying within a gravel bed, surrounded by a copse of silver birch trees. It is inscribed in both English and Hebrew with the words ‘For these I weep. Streams of tears flow from my eyes because of the destruction of my people,’ which is a from the Book of Lamentations.

A Royal Parks spokesman said: “The Hyde Park Holocaust Memorial is routinely covered with tarpaulin during various events as a precautionary measure. We are working closely with the police to ensure the safety of park visitors.”
