British Police Arrest Pro-Palestine Protesters Opposing Israeli Settlement Land Sales
June 16, 2026
Arrested for protesting the sale of occupied Palestinian land.
More than a dozen Jewish anti-Zionist protesters were reportedly arrested by UK police while demonstrating against the “”Great Israeli Real Estate Event”” at London’s Edgware United Synagogue.
The event advertised properties in Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank, including areas widely regarded under international law as illegal settlements built on occupied Palestinian land.
Protesters say their demonstration was peaceful.
Yet they claim police responded with force, making arrests while protecting an event that critics argue promotes the sale of land taken from Palestinians.
Jewish activists protesting occupation were handcuffed, while the marketing of settlement properties continued.
For many campaigners, the issue goes far beyond real estate.
It is about the normalisation of occupation.
The commercialisation of dispossession.
And the treatment of Palestinian land as a commodity to be bought and sold while millions of Palestinians remain displaced or living under occupation.
The arrests have sparked fresh criticism of Britain’s role in protecting events linked to Israeli settlements while cracking down on those speaking out against them.
Why are those opposing the theft of land treated like criminals, while those profiting from it are given police protection?
