Protesters arrived at the railway station at around 5.30pm on Wednesday (November 8).
Dozens are waving the Palestinian flag while others hold placards reading “ceasefire now”. A large banner at the protest reads “Jews against genocide”.
“We’re here today because we cannot sit by whilst politicians endorse a genocide against the men, women and children of Palestine, whilst claiming to represent us,” a spokesman for Brighton and Hove Action for Palestine said in a statement.

“What is happening right now in Gaza and the West Bank is horrifying. It’s heartbreaking to see both the Conservatives party and Labour part refusing to take action to save more Palestinian and Israeli lives from being lost.”
The British Transport Police have been contacted for comment.
It comes after a protest last Sunday (November 5) in which thousands of people calling for a ceasefire gathered at Palmeira Square, Hove, before marching along Western Road towards Brighton and on to the Peace Statue in Hove.
