Someone has to warn us about the Lizard Cannibals!

The antisemitic conspiracy theorist David Icke was loudly cheered as he addressed more than 10,000 people at an anti-lockdown demonstration in central London on Saturday, at which far-right placards and flags were openly displayed.

The former sports presenter - who has previously spoken of "global conspiracy Rothschild-Zionism" - was joined on stage by Jeremy Corbyn's brother Piers and other leading coronavirus-deniers at the “Unite For Freedom” protest in Trafalgar Square.

One protester was photographed at Saturday's gathering holding a flag displaying the symbol of Oswald Mosley's British Union of Fascists.

Several other attendees held placards promoting the antisemitic QAnon conspiracy theory which revolves around the idea of an all-powerful, world-ruling cabal controlling the world.

One of the rally's organisers, who introduced themselves from the stage as a leading figure in the Save Our Rights UK organisation, was applauded for a speech in which she claimed George Soros was responsible for the funding of abortion as well as the Black Lives Matters movement.

The more you use the word "anti-semitism" in a hyperbolic way the more it lessens the value of the descriptor. I see people that are critical of Israel's foreign policy be labeled this and that has to stop. Hating Jewish people for their ideology/culture/history: anti-semitism. Criticizing Israel for their human rights violations and abuses of power: not anti-semtism.

Perhaps you intended to address that to someone who used that word.
