Heidi Alexander says the Home Sec has taken action against antisemitism b/c she stopped the Al Quds Day march
But this is untrue
The Met requested a ban b/c risk of serious public disorder.
Giving reasons:
1) the ongoing conflict in the Middle East.
2) A high probability of violent confrontations between large numbers of protesters and counter-protesters.
3) Concerns from security services regarding Iranian state activity
The protection of Jews was never mentioned
