Revealed: Pro-Palestine mobs' disrespectful plan to 'swarm' UK cities and disturb Armistice Day events with anti-Israel protests

Pro-Palestine protesters are planning to 'swarm' cities across the UK and disturb Armistice Day events with a series of 'highly coordinated' protests, it was claimed last night.

Youth Demand, which stemmed from the student branch of Just Stop Oil , is plotting to hold anti-Israel demonstrations in five cities next week.

At a secret meeting in London on Saturday, organisers told the crowd how the group were trying to cause major disruption on November 11 - a day when Britain will pay their respects to those who sacrificed their lives for the country.

More than 50 activists attended the 'Politics is Broken: People's Assembly & After Party' event at a swanky bar in London, where Just Stop Oil members also attended.

Youth Demand activist Arthur Clifton, who attended the £26,000-a-year Latymer Upper School, told cheering eco-zealots: 'This is the start of our strategy coming into place on November 11.

'With five cities across the country, Youth Demand will be getting out onto the roads, swarming, causing disruption [and] getting off before arrests are made, hopefully.'

In secret footage from the meeting obtained by The Express , Clifton, 23, added that the demonstrations would mean 'highly coordinated, highly organised disruption on a nationwide level'.

The group, which campaigns to 'stop the UK arming Israel', is also plotting to throw Black Friday into chaos on November 29.

A message in Youth Demand's Telegram chat from November 5 also said 'in just over a week, our nationally coordinated actions will be popping off all over the country'.

In an apparent threat to Armistice Day ceremonies, activists were told: 'We know we have to shut it down for Palestine.'

Back in July, Youth Demand activists laid flowers and a Palestinian flag at the Cenotaph, Britain's chief national war memorial to the dead who fought in the war. They also painted '180,000 killed' in a reference to the war in Gaza.

The cities being targeted were not revealed by Clifton, nor were they named on Telegram.

Earlier in the night, The Express heard JSO activist Sam Griffiths tell the crowd the group would be 'relentless' in targeting Parliament in 2025.

Griffiths, who was jailed in Wandsworth Prison for his role in a demonstration in 2023, said: 'We are not giving up.'

Youth Demand reacted to The Express investigation by claiming the protests are 'public events' and ticketed and therefore had not been 'exposed'.

The group last took action when two protesters placed a photo of a mother and child in the Gaza strip over a Picasso masterpiece at the National Gallery on October 9.

The two protestors walked into room 43 of the gallery just before midday and plastered the photograph over the protective glass of the Motherhood painting.

The pair then poured red paint onto the gallery floor before police were called.

The stunt came a month after supporters from their sister organisation Just Stop Oil threw soup over two of Vincent van Gogh's paintings.
