London underneath radical Sadiq Khan has a two-tier justice system. One for anti-semites, one for everybody else.
In August, a lawyer, performing as an impartial authorized observer at a pro-Palestine protest exterior the Israeli embassy in central London, was arrested, handcuffed, and detained for nearly 10 hours.
His ‘crime’? Brazenly sporting a Star of David.

“A Jewish lawyer sporting a Star of David was arrested after British police claimed the Jewish necklace had “antagonized” pro-Palestine protesters.”
“The lawyer acknowledged that officers handcuffed him together with his arms behind his again, positioned him in a police car, and held him for questioning. He stated he was detained for almost 10 hours!”
“The Metropolitan Police denied that the arrest was associated to the necklace, asserting that the person was detained for “repeatedly breaching” officers’ directions to maintain opposing protest teams separated, in response to The Telegraph.

There it’s: the quiet loss of life of equal citizenship. The image that after marked Jews for persecution in Europe now marks them for arrest in England.
The police name it “preserving the peace.” In reality, it’s cowardice become coverage. It’s what occurs when the state turns into extra afraid of offending the offender than defending the sufferer. “Antagonising” has change into a criminal offense. Translation: if a mob hates you adequate, you lose your rights.
We’ve seen this drift earlier than. The trendy officer speaks the language of HR, not justice. “Tensions are excessive,” “communities are delicate,” “we should be proportionate.” All these phrases imply the identical factor: the legislation not applies equally.
Protesters can chant “From the river to the ocean,” wave Hamas flags, and scream “Globalise the Intifada” with out consequence. However a Jew sporting a small star is branded a menace to public order.
Whereas anti-semitic sentiments flourish within the UK’s largest metropolis, sporting Jewish symbols is sufficient to face police motion.
In 2024, throughout a pro-Palestine protest in central London, an officer was filmed blocking the trail of Gideon Falter, a Jewish man sporting a kippah, a non secular head protecting, asking him to remain in place whereas the protesters marched, according to the BBC.
“I don’t need to keep right here, I need to depart,” Falter stated after being blocked.
However the officer wouldn’t permit him to depart, saying, “For the time being sir, you’re fairly brazenly Jewish. It is a pro-Palestinian march. I’m not accusing you of something, however I’m apprehensive concerning the response to your presence.”
“If I stay right here, you’ll arrest me?” Falter requested.
“Your presence right here is antagonizing a big group of people who we will’t take care of all of them in the event that they assault you … as a result of your presence is antagonizing them,” the officer responds.
