An Oxford student accused of chanting for Gaza to “put the Zios in the ground” at a protest has been charged with stirring up racial hatred.
Samuel Williams, 20, from Oxford, will appear at Westminster Magistrates’ Court on Tuesday, January 27, the Metropolitan Police said.
Video footage was posted online of a man chanting in Whitehall in central London at a Palestine Coalition demonstration on October 11.
Williams was arrested four days later and charged on Tuesday.
Tens of thousands of pro-Palestine protesters took part in the protest in central London to mark two years since the start of the war in Gaza.
It took place a day after a ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas came into effect.
Protesters marched along the Victoria Embankment before ending with a rally close to Downing Street.
The Met Police said it had made 14 arrests in total during the day, including seven for breaching conditions under the Public Order Act.
Other arrests were made for offences including supporting a proscribed group and affray, the force added.
