But if you’re antisemitic or violent on a so called “peaceful” march then you’re a...🤔

It is by now clear to everyone that the @MetPoliceUK’s policing policy at these weekly anti-Israel marches represents the inverse of how policing should work. Police should be protecting those believed to be under threat, not threatening them with arrest to appease suspected

The tactics we are seeing being used are desperate. The accusation that CAA Chief Executive Gideon Falter was being “provocative” by being at the march on 13th April is nonsense, and some claims may be actionable libel.

But these tactics are not new. Similar accusations were

The Met Police has issued a press release saying that they have offered a private meeting. Assistant Commissioner Matt Twist also for the first time apologised for his now-deleted statement on Friday, which constituted appalling, abject victim-blaming. Gideon Falter has accepted

Footage obtained by Sky News shows this remarkable exchange:

Gideon Falter: “If I take this [skullcap] off and turn this [prayer shawl bag] around, will you let me cross the road?”

In today’s @TheTimes, CAA’s Chief Executive, Gideon Falter speaks about what happened when he was threatened with arrest for being “quite openly Jewish”, what it’s like living as a Jew in London under Sir Mark Rowley’s @MetPoliceUK, and why it is time for Sir Mark to go.
