Boris Johnson has condemned the "shameful racism" aimed at British Jews, after a video appeared to show people shouting anti-Semitic abuse.

Police in London said they had identified the car seen in the video and were trying to find the occupants.

The person who filmed the video told the BBC they cried after witnessing the scene, adding: "I don't feel safe."

Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer said the incident was "utterly disgusting", adding: "There must be consequences".

It comes amid rising tension between Israel and Palestinians in the Middle East, culminating in the worst violence since 2014.

On Sunday, a video was posted on social media appearing to show a convoy of cars with Palestinian flags driving down a street, with a man shouting anti-Semitic abuse from a megaphone.

The person who filmed the video - who wanted to remain anonymous - said they started filming when they heard "excessive hooting" outside their window in Finchley Road, north London.

"They happened to stop at a set of traffic lights and I was able to capture what happened.

"I cried. How is this the world we live in today?"

They added: "I felt immediately frightened and appalled that this is happening in this country. What if I was walking alone wearing something that identified me as Jewish? What might have happened?

"I don't feel safe in my own home, and that's what terrifies me."

The Metropolitan Police said it had identified the vehicle and were making enquiries to locate the occupants.

It said the video appeared to be filmed in the St John's Wood area. St John's Wood is an area in north London home to a Jewish community.

"Officers are carrying out urgent enquiries to identify those responsible," said the police. "This sort of behaviour will not be tolerated."

The prime minister was among many politicians to condemn the video on social media.

"There is no place for anti-Semitism in our society," Mr Johnson tweeted. "Ahead of Shavuot, I stand with Britain's Jews who should not have to endure the type of shameful racism we have seen today."

Shavuot is a Jewish festival beginning on Sunday that celebrates when the children of Israel received the Ten Commandments.

Sir Keir said: "Utterly disgusting. Anti-Semitism, misogyny and hate have no place on our streets or in our society. There must be consequences."

The Mayor of London Sadiq Khan said the police had his "full backing" for their zero-tolerance approach, and Londoners could expect to see "high visibility police patrols".

"Hate crimes are inexcusable and have no place in our city," he said.

On Saturday, thousands of people protested through London in support of the Palestinians.

The organisers of the protest called on the UK government to step in and "stop allowing Israel's brutal violence against and oppression of the Palestinian people to go unpunished".

Well, nothing's stopped Israel from killing innocents before and committing war crime after war crime, human rights abuse after human rights abuse and I doubt that's gonna stop any time soon because the world leaders are cowards that won't denounce such attrocities for what they are. Better to continue gaslighting anyone who criticises Israel as anti-semitic, I guess.

Good, now throw the book at them. What is happening in Palestine is an outrage and hateful ***** like them just make it easier for people to gaslight others who support the citizens of Palestine as anti-semitic.

any chance we can have one thread without trolling? I know I'm asking a lot, but still...

[LeatherTrumpet]

My phone started ringing just after 2.30pm yesterday, as a convoy of cars
began driving around areas of north London with a large Jewish population.
The cars were painted with the Palestine flag and a man with a megaphone
was screaming out of one of them, “******* the Jews, rape their daughters”. It
was, of course, shocking – and as the afternoon wore on, dozens of people
got in touch with me to report what they had witnessed.

But they didn’t just call me. They called the police first, to report something
that was so appalling it had stopped them in their tracks. And what did the
police do in response to the calls they were being bombarded with and to a
convoy of anti-Semitic hate? Nothing.

That’s not strictly true. After an hour, they tweeted that they were aware of a
car protest in Whitehall – some other vehicles had gathered there - and said
that officers were “engaging with those taking part.” It is difficult to think of
a more striking example of how the police have lost their way than their
satisfaction in announcing that they were “engaging” with a group of race
hate demonstrators rather than arresting them.

It took three hours for the police to act, long after the convoy had been given
the freedom of the city to drive – at a snail’s pace – through north London
and verbally assault Jewish residents. The police sat on their hands and,
presumably, watched the convoy on their camera system as it went about its business.

And that’s the crucial point about what happened yesterday. It happened
because it was allowed to happen. Yes, there were fine words of
condemnation from everyone from the PM to the Labour leader. And yes,
eventually, the police acted and arrested four suspects.

But the convoy did not emerge out of nowhere. The previous day, Saturday,
saw a large anti-Israel protest in central London. It received lots of coverage
But you would have struggled to find any coverage of the anti-Semitic
chanting and placards that were part of the protest.

One chant was, “Khayber Khayber Ya Yehud jaish Mohammed Sauf Ya’ud”
(“Khayber Khaybar oh Jews, Mohammed’s army is returning”). An inflatable
balloon Jewish caricature with horns and a hook nose was hoisted by the
podium.

Such open anti-Semitism on our streets is entirely normal. Every year on the
‘Al Quds’ (Jerusalem) Day protest, central London is festooned with anti-
Semitic banners and chants.

Organisers and those involved continually say that they are not anti-Semitic
and are merely anti-Zionist, but it is a remarkable coincidence how every
time there is an anti-Zionist demonstration it is accompanied by
unambiguous and explicit Jew hate. And that is without even considering how
ludicrous it is to claim that a demonstration in support of Hamas is not anti-
Semitic, when the organisation is committed in its founding charter to the
elimination of Jews – Jews, not Israel – from the planet.

That is why yesterday’s convoy may have been shocking in its immediacy but
was not remotely surprising, because it was merely part of a continuum in
which these protests provide a regular expression of Jew hate.


It is difficult to avoid the conclusion that – as David Baddiel put it in the title
of his recent book – Jews don’t count. We have learned in recent years that
anti-Semitism is not viewed as racism in many quarters. Which brings us,
unfortunately, to Jeremy Corbyn.

Mr Corbyn did not cause anti-Semitism, but his apparent embrace of anti-
Semites by standing on the podium and speaking at Saturday’s protest has
further encouraged anti-Semitism.

It is often said that the Jews are the canary in the coal mine – that those
who attack the Jews will, given the chance, step up their extremism to
include other groups and behaviour. That is why everyone should be
concerned. One MP friend texted me last night, saying that he feared we are
becoming like France. He meant that in France such is the problem with
Islamist extremism that Jews feel threatened merely walking down the
street.

There is always a spike in anti-Semitic incidents here when Israel takes
military action to defend itself from terror. I fear, however, that my friend
may be right. And if he is, the blame will not be just on those politicians who
ally with and give succour to Jew haters. It will also be on those who talk a
good game about zero tolerance for extremism, but who in reality have
stood by and watched it, rather than acting.

Once again, I post and LT makes it about Corbyn.

LT you boasted that no one was as alt-right as you, so both pretending to care about jews, and using them for trolling purposes is actual antisemitism. You've overplayed your hand and revealed a pretty sinister part of your character.
