Israel ‘should be wiped off map’, says Al Quds Day speaker as Hezbollah flags fly

Excerpt:

Hezbollah flags were once again flown at Sunday’s annual Al Quds march in central London, where one speaker said Israel should be “wiped from the map”.

Addressing the crowd, Shaykh Mohammad Saeed Bahmanpour also claimed Zionists’ “days are numbered”, as the pro-Palestinian demonstration clashed with Zionist counter-demonstrators and far-right nationalists.

Al Quds Day, named for the Arabic word for Jerusalem, is an anti-Israel day of protest held around the time of the final Friday of Ramadan, first initiated by Iran’s Ayatollah Khomeini in 1979.

This year, once again, protestors were legally allowed to fly the yellow Hezbollah flag, which depicts a hand grasping a stylised assault rifle.
