Palestine protests take place in Edinburgh and Glasgow on October 7, 2025

Pro-Palestine activists have been blasted for protesting on the streets of Scotland on the second anniversary of the October 7 Hamas attack on Israel.

Hundreds turned out for student demonstrations across Glasgow and in Edinburgh on Tuesday afternoon in defiance of Sir Keir Starmer who urged students to think carefully about their actions.

The Prime Minister said it was " un-British to have little respect for others" and warned of "rising antisemitism on our streets".

It marked two years to the day since nearly 1,200 people were killed during Hamas's incursion into Israel.
