Original Note:
The Met police didn't consider the chant unlawful. But, recognised a chant can be unlawful if used to intimidate, e.g. outside a synagogue. https://news.met.police.uk/news/update-met-response-to-terror-attacks-in-israel-and-ongoing-military-action-in-gaza-474080 For the majority of Pro-Palestinians, the chant isn't antisemitic and is a call for freedom from occupation and equal rights. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/oct/21/its-simply-a-call-for-freedom-marchers-defend-contentious-slogan-at-london-palestine-protest
