Last weekend, the Metropolitan Police in London faced accusations of giving in to radical pro-Hamas activists by threatening to arrest a British Jew for being deemed provocative to anti-Israel protesters. The CEO of the Campaign Against Antisemitism, Gideon Falter, was stopped by a London cop while returning from a synagogue service and wearing a skullcap. The officer accused him of breaching peace and threatened arrest. Critics are calling for the resignation of Metropolitan Police commissioner, Sir Mark Rowley, for failing to impose order and protect the rights of law-abiding citizens.Falter expressed outrage at the treatment he received, calling it a disgrace and pointing out the growing antisemitism in London. The police have been criticized for creating a "no-go zone" for Jews in central London, leading to a rise in hate crimes and terrorism offenses. Former British home secretary Suella Braverman called for Rowley's resignation, accusing him of incompetence or fostering a culture of intimidation.Israel's minister combating antisemitism labeled London as the "world's most antisemitic city," highlighting the need for decisive action from authorities. Rabbi Abraham Cooper criticized Mayor Sadiq Khan for prioritizing pro-Hamas campaigners over British Jewish taxpayers. The British Home Office emphasized that simply being Jewish should never be seen as provocative, regardless of fast-moving public protests.
