'The Met Police are making no-go areas for Jews': Charity chief slams force who threatened him with arrest for being 'openly Jewish' near Gaza march - as he vows mass demo in response
Daily MailA Jewish campaigner who was threatened with being arrested by the police for being near a pro-Palestine march has accused the Met of allowing 'no-go zones for Jews'. The Metropolitan Police has been branded 'beyond appalling' after an officer threatened to arrest a Jewish man for 'breaching the peace' as he is stopped from crossing the road This officer was seen blocking the Jewish man, Gideon Falter, from crossing the road amid because he was 'quite openly Jewish' In a video shared by CAA from Saturday's march, Mr Falter - who was wearing a kippah on his head - was seen telling the officer: 'I don't want to stay here, I want to leave.' 'Despite being told repeatedly that London is safe for Jews when these marches are taking place, my interactions with police officers last Saturday show that the Met believes that being openly Jewish will antagonise the anti-Israel marchers and that Jews need protection, which the police cannot guarantee. Mr Falter, pictured here on Good Morning Britain in 2018, is the CEO of Campaign Against Antisemitism Mr Falter was interviewed alongside the footage and accused the Met of failing to make London safe for Jews Speaking after the video was released, Mr Falter said: 'For months we have been told that when anti-Israel protests course through London it's perfectly safe for Jews. Pro-Palestine protesters are seen waving banners at the march on London People hold a variety of flags and placards at the protests in London on Saturday, including Palestine and Israel national flags Pro-Palestinian supporters speak with a police officer during a protest organised by Turning Point UK in London on Saturday The Met also sparked backlash when they told a Jewish woman a 'swastika was not necessarily anti-Semitic' Jocelin Weiss, 30, told MailOnline at the time that the Metropolitan police needs 'basic education' Mr Falter said: 'After months of being gaslit by the Met, it's not safe for Jews to be walking in the presence of these protests.
