Met Police Make No Arrests as Antisemites Target Jewish Attendees at London Pride

Antisemites harassed, heckled and intimidated Jewish attendees at London’s Pride march in Soho on Saturday.

Metropolitan Police officers looked on and made no arrests.

An elderly man confronted an attendee wearing a rainbow Star of David T-shirt. He told him, “You kill Arab children, you kill gay children,” then said, “What you need to do is go back to your Zionist homeland, because it won’t last much longer.”

In another clip, a woman repeatedly asked, “How many babies did they kill?” while referencing the Israel Defense Forces. A person nearby called her a “Jew-hater.”

Another woman appeared to shout, “F*** you, Jew,” while nearby crowds chanted “Free Palestine.”

The Metropolitan Police confirmed it is investigating. A spokesman said, “We are aware of videos circulating online that show anti-Semitic verbal abuse directed towards attendees at the Pride in London event. Officers are currently reviewing footage to assess and investigate.”

The incident adds to a wider pattern of antisemitic violence in London, particularly in the Jewish neighborhood of Golders Green.

A spokesperson for the UK-based Campaign Against Antisemitism (CAA) said, “The transition from ‘Free Palestine’ to ‘F— Jews’ is usually silent. This incident shows it loudly and explicitly.” He added, “The authorities need to recognize it for what it is. That can start with identifying and punishing the perpetrators of this incident.”
