Boris Johnson condemned anti-Semitic cries heard from a car in London

The British Prime Minister, Boris Johnson, condemned this Sunday some anti-Semitic insults launched by strangers from a vehicle in London, captured in a video that circulated on social networks.

Police reported that the car that appears on the set has been identified and that it is trying to locate its occupants.

In the footage, apparently taken in the neighborhood of Wood of Saint-Jean, in north London, where a large Jewish community lives, you can see several cars with the Palestinian flag as a man shouts anti-Semitic from a megaphone.

Johnson condemned the incident from his Twitter account, stating that “There is no place for anti-Semitism in our society», And added that “British Jews shouldn’t have to put up with this kind of shameful racism that we have seen today.”

For his part, the leader of the Labor Party, Keir Starmer, in opposition, described the incident as “Totally disgusting” and stressed that “anti-Semitism and hatred have no place in our streets or in our society. There must be consequences ”.

The person who took the footage, who requested anonymity, admitted BBC that he feared such a thing would happen in the UK.

Thousands marched in London yesterday in solidarity with the Palestinians and to protest against the Israeli attacks on Gaza.

The rally was organized by the Palestine Solidarity Campaign, Friends of Al-Aqsa, the Palestinian Forum in the UK, the Stop the War Coalition, the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament and the British Muslim Association.

With Palestinian banners and flags, protesters gathered in Hyde Park, from where they went to the Israeli embassy in the London Borough of Kensington to demand an end to the violence between Israelis and Palestinian militias.
