Those two missing camera films should contain the start of the violent interaction. What we are left with shows one of the security guards running towards the protestors carrying a hammer and a whip. And we have the physical evidence where the injury on the face of one of the protestors appears to have been made by a hammer. The same protestor has a bruise on his torso from a blow from a sledge hammer. Which when we next see that same security guard, on the videos made available, he is carrying.

How this fracas started is vitally important for the UK’s government proscription of the group. They desperate to portray them as having violent intent. However the same group made a number of attacks on the manufacturing of arms and other materials destined for Israel’s genocidal army but to this point never hurt anyone.

What the missing footage likely shows is that the protestors where violently assaulted by the guards and by the police that subsequently arrived and that they had a fight or flight reaction.
