  1. These pricks couldnt even tell you what the Balfour declaration was, they just want to shout at a Jew for being a Jew. Disgusting.

  2. They are not for a ‘Free Palestine’; they are scum and I hope that they are brought to justice and pay the full price for their racism.

  5. How to confuse the Israeli embassy with a bus of innocent Jewish people.

    I guess their idea is to hurl abuse at Jewish people while also making it seem like the left is anti-Semitic, going for a twofer.

  7. Oh yeah, you’re really helping Palestines case by making its supporters look like a bunch of anti-semetic thugs. /s

    Part of me thinks they know this and are using it as an excuse to be anti-semetic. The other part of me thinks they don’t have the two braincells they’d need to rub together to reach that conclusion – although even if unaware of the optics they’d still be nothing more than anti-semetic thugs.

  8. No video evidence of them shouting “Free Palestine”, looks more like standard far-right thuggery

  10. Good thing we have CCTV, I.D them all and charge for Hate Crime, and don’t we have a new strict law for spitting due to the concern of Covid? Apply that as well.

  11. >In the video of the incident on Facebook, none of the yobs’ insults can be heard because they are outside of the bus.

    The article even states that the headline is false.

  17. This is absolutely out of order and wrong of course.

    What is wrong about it is thinking that Jews and Israel are the same thing. A gang of people shouting “Free Palestine” outside the Israeli embassy would be a legitimate protest.

    And you can put a lot of the blame for that conflation on Israeli politicians and diplomats, who take every opportunity to muddy the waters so they can cast criticism of Israel as being anti-semitic.

  19. A society becomes intolerant when we tolerate the intolerant, as we have done for a while.

  20. I dread to think what abuse a British national would receive if the same treatment were applied to everything our government has done.

    Especially if you go back far enough.

    Edit: I’m not sure how this has come across. The point I’m making is the people don’t deserve this treatment based on the actions of their government.

  21. What will these “Free Palestine” anti-Semites do when Israel’s non-Jewish population continues to increase and eventually becomes a majority?

  22. I wish Israel would just get the fuck out of occupied territories (as agreed internationally) and then we can all just enjoy a bit of peace. It’s a never ending nightmare that part of the world

  23. As a Jewish person I’m questioning why this isn’t being reported on by other news outlets.

    What a bloody shame for those innocent people
