Contributing sentiments towards policy:

58% : Like much of the Western world, the UK has been rocked by pro-Palestinian, anti-Israel protests after Hamas's October 7, 2023, massacre sparked the war in Gaza.
43% : A Metropolitan Police spokesperson denied that the man was arrested over his necklace and told The Telegraph that the suspect "was arrested for allegedly repeatedly breaching Public Order Act conditions that were in place to keep opposing protest groups apart." "The conditions required protesters from the pro-Israel group, Stop the Hate, to remain in one area while protesters from the pro-Palestinian group, IJAN, were required to remain in a separate area," the spokesperson said.
33% : The man said that he has been called a "Zionist baby killer" at protests and has documented up to 30 criminal incidents by pro-Palestinian protesters, none of which have resulted in convictions.
