On Sunday, a Pro-Palestine demonstration was rolling down Finchley Road in North London with a person shouting anti-Semitic slogans on a megaphone:
UNBELIEVABLE!

"F**k the Jews" "F**k their daughters" "F**k their mothers" "Rape their daughters"
"Free Palestine"

The global terrorist organization Hamas has recently been firing rockets at civilian Israeli targets over the past several days, as tensions in the region have flared up. The Israeli military retaliated by striking back at Hamas strongholds in the Gaza strip.
British Prime Minister Boris Johnson stated, "There is no place for antisemitism in our society. Ahead of Shavuot, I stand with Britain’s Jews who should not have to endure the type of shameful racism we have seen today." This is presumably in response to the above-mentioned incident:

Priti Patel, the UK Home Secretary, echoed a similar sentiment:
This is disgusting antisemitism.

There is no place for this hatred in the UK.
I expect @metpoliceuk to be taking this seriously. https://t.co/O1nXJ7Fk0z
