The UK's Home Secretary has built deep ties within Zionist circles pushing her to adopt Zionist rhetoric, as she calls on London police to deal firmly with pro-Palestine protests.

The British Home Secretary, Suella Braverman, has accused London's Metropolitan Police of "playing favorites" for not cracking down on pro-Palestine protests.

In an article she wrote for The Times, Braverman said that London police are permitting "pro-Palestine mobs" while often restricting right-wing protests.

Baverman said that pro-Palestine demonstrations are "problematic" because of "violence around the fringes" and "highly offensive" chants. She had previously claimed that chants such as "From the River to the Sea, Palestine will be Free," call for the extermination of Jewish settlers in occupied Palestine.

The UK Home Secretary has also questioned the true intent of protests, claiming, "I do not believe that these marches are merely a cry for help for Gaza." She has also alleged that the organizers have links to "terrorist groups" such as Hamas.

Western officials such as Braverman have worked to demonize individuals and groups who call for the liberation of Palestine from Zionist occupation, saying that such justified demands are "anti-semitic".

Officials and commentators in the United Kingdom have criticized Braverman's remarks as "unusual", "unprecedented", and even "unhinged" particularly because of her direct criticism of police officers.

Braverman's husband a 'proud Jew and Zionist'

The UK Home Secretary has been deeply influenced by Zionist propaganda, including rhetoric spread by the International Holocaust Remembrance Association.

In her interview with The Jewish Chronicle, Braverman encouraged others to "adopt the International Holocaust Remembrance Association (IHRA) definition of antisemitism."

She has even written to all Home Office public bodies and police leaders, urging them to adopt the definition. The IHRA has spread dangerous rhetoric in which any action against the "state of Israel" would be considered anti-semitism. Braverman's adoption of this definition comes hand in hand with her views that protests and movements calling for the liberation of Palestine, are anti-semitic.

Braverman has also said that "the Jewish community is our community," adding that her "husband is a proud Jew and Zionist."

She has also revealed that her husband lived in "Israel" and that they have close family members who served under the Israeli occupation forces.

Braverman's boasting of her husband's Zionist ideology further sheds light on her biases, which have seen her push London police to oppress pro-Palestine voices, as well as her targeted criticism of the UK's security forces.

Her dangerous remarks come at a time where "Israel" has killed 10,569 Palestinians, including 4,324 children and 2,823 women, a clear act of genocide and ethnic cleansing, which the UK government has failed to address.
