Yael Kahn, who also said she used to care for female political prisoners in Gaza before moving to England, said: “I wish, when my family was exterminated in the Holocaust by Nazi Germany, I wish there were people protesting, like all of these lovely people here. I absolutely adore them.”Ms Kahn stood at the edge of the protest on Saturday with a ribbon that read “free Palestine hostages”.

She added: “The police are not arresting those people who actually, their hands, are full, covered in blood, of children, of women, of entire people in the Middle East or West Asia. They are not questioning them.”
