A Holocaust memorial in Hyde Park was covered up during a pro-Palestine protest in London on Saturday, sparking outrage.
Park officials covered the memorial to the mostly-Jewish victims of the Nazi genocide in a blue tarpaulin. They said it was a "precautionary measure" they have taken during "various events".The monument to the six million who were killed was also guarded by police officers.The latest pro-Palestine march took place on Saturday afternoon, with the route ending for speeches in Hyde Park.
"I just wish the Western world would stand up to these people, instead of running away, covering up monuments and being apologetic."Marie van der Zyl, president of the Board of Deputies of British Jews, the organisation that funded the memorial, said: "It's appalling that such precautions need to be taken to protect the memorial because of the risk it may now be defaced.
