In a Church Times interview following his recent West Bank visit, Archbishop of York Stephen Cottrell described Israeli military actions in Gaza as deliberately indiscriminate and genocidal acts, while labeling the West Bank a regime of apartheid and ethnic cleansing through settler expansion.

Posted on December 27 by pro-Israel account VividProwess, the video gained over 15,000 likes and thousands of replies labeling the act unhinged, with jokes about stereotypes and mental health stats from Pew Research showing 40% of white liberal women aged 30-49 with prior diagnoses. The protest draws from 'cacerolazo' traditions—Latin American pot-banging to symbolize hunger—revived in 2025 for Gaza's famine warnings, seen in London, Philadelphia, and recent UK actions like a Manchester mall flag display. While critics call it performative, supporters frame it as solidarity amid the Israel-Hamas war's third year and aid-reported food shortages.
