A pro-Iran and pro-Palestine activist has called for all Zionists to ‘f***ing die’ in a shocking video takn during a demonstration in Brighton.
The activist, seen wearing an X-Files T-shirt, was seen inside Brighton train station describing Israel‘s invasion of Gaza as the ‘third Holocaust.’
‘We don’t deserve that, the people of Palestine don’t deserve that’, the as-yet-unidentified activist said.
When asked by a man offscreen about what should happen to Zionists, they answered: ‘Zionists should f***ing die, in my opinion.’
When pressed on whether they believed all Zionists should die, they said: ‘Yes.’
The shocking video comes days after violence erupted on the streets of London during a protest supporting Palestinians as police arrested a suspect for throwing a bottle at pro-Israeli counter-protesters and a man was filmed apparently performing a Nazi salute.
Activists calling for urgent aid to be sent to Gaza and for Israel to stop bombing Iran yelled ‘shame on you’ at the pro-Israeli counter-demo.

Thousands of demonstrators were heading to Whitehall from Russell Square in central London and waved Palestinian flags and chanted ‘free, free Palestine,’ ‘occupation no more, ‘Israel is a terrorist state,’ and ‘stop bombing Iran’.
Campaigners gathered in large numbers under the banner of the Palestine Coalition.
But things took an ugly turn as they passed a group of counter-protesters assembled near Waterloo Bridge by the pro-Israeli group Stop the Hate.
The Met Police said it chased a suspect through the crowd down the Strand after a bottle was thrown at counter-protesters and apprehended them.
A spokesperson said: ‘A short time ago a bottle was thrown at the Stop the Hate protest. Fortunately it fell short and nobody was injured.
‘Officers chased the suspect down the Strand and made an arrest. The suspect has been taken into custody.’
Later footage also emerged seeming to show a protester performing a Nazi salute.

Stop the Hate posted on social media and said: ‘Nazi salute or a wave? The Met Police think it was a friendly wave at today’s hate march.’
The Met responded online and said a man had since been arrested: ‘We will review the initial response to this incident, however we can confirm that after becoming aware of this footage a search of the area was carried out and a man has been arrested.’
The march, which began around midday in Russell Square, moved through Aldwych and the Strand before concluding with a rally and speeches in Whitehall, including from pop star Paloma Faith.
