The organiser of the 2021 pro-Palestinian convoy which saw some demonstrators drive through Jewish areas screaming antisemitic abuse, including calls for rape, is planning a new protest on Saturday, the JC can reveal.

Flyers and social media posts advertising both the earlier and current events bear the logos of 1Vision and Convoy4Palestine, groups in which Bradford activist Razaq Hussain plays a central role. They also include his phone number.

There is no suggestion that he was involved in any way with the earlier abuse and Hussain requested there be no violence at the next protest. But the disclosure that a new convoy is being planned has added to the pressure on Metropolitan Police commissioner Sir Mark Rowley to ask the government to ban the “Million March for Palestine”, of which the convoy will form a part.

At a protest last weekend in Bradford, where the convoy is due to start, Hussain railed against Israel, which he termed “Zionist pigs” and urged his audience to “stick the middle finger up to the politicians” who stood by Israel.
