Mob Rule Shuts British Museum over Palestinians


(Daily Mail-UK) Richard Littlejohn - Mob rule returned to the streets of London on Sunday, forcing the closure of the British Museum. Hundreds of masked demonstrators laid siege to the main gates, blocking access to visitors and trapping others inside. The protest was organized by "Energy Embargo for Palestine," who link the war in Gaza to the museum's ten-year sponsorship deal with the BP oil company, which has been awarded an offshore license to explore for oil and gas in Israeli waters. Protesters waved Palestinian flags, and brandished banners including "Boycott the British Museum" and "BP fuels colonial genocide." The museum was shut on police advice and never reopened. Once again, the mob had succeeded in stopping people going about their lawful business. There's little to be gained by pointing out that Hamas - which has been occupying Gaza for the past 18 years, started this war and is hell-bent on genocide against Israel - is bankrolled by Iran. Mob rule is not going to stop the war, it's not going to stop BP drilling for gas. So how much longer do we have to put up with this anarchic lunacy?
