New footage emerges from pro-Palestine demonstration as Met Police under fire

New mobile phone footage has emerged which gives a fuller picture of what happened when a campaigner against antisemitism was confronted by police at a pro-Palestine demonstration.
The Metropolitan Police issued two apologies last week after a video clip was published showing Gideon Falter being described in his heated conversation with an officer as "openly Jewish".
Mr Falter subsequently called for the resignation of Met Police chief Sir Mark Rowley.

I know it's hard for you when jews stand up for their rights to not be violated for being jewish, you know, being an anti-semite yourself, but deal with it. I think it's damned logical that someone like him would be at demonstrations like this to point out the anti-semitism (not anti-zionism) and take a camera to show the world... and not by talking to these pro-palestinian supporters, but just by being there and letting them visually know that he's a jew.

Worse than that, he did it twice before being stopped, twice he walked against the flow of the protest (most probably being physical - i.e. bumping - and trying to get a reaction to play the victim card afterwards)... yes, against the flow of the protest, not "trying to cross the road" as he was arguing. MET either probably noticed it or was warned by the protesters that there was someone looking for a fight in the middle of the protest and went to get him out of there.

A police officer would not be doing his job if he did not protect a football fan wearing all his team's colours from trying to walk into a rowdy section of opposing fans if there is clear feeling of antagonism between them. They have to act to protect the individual first, even if the individual wants to put themselves at risk. It is not bias or discriminatory to protect someone against their will . Just look how they arrest drunk, drugged, or otherwise unhinged people. The law says they can use the law and all reasonable force necessary to protect people from harm.

Gideon does not like people demonstrating against Israels genocide of Palestinians. He used the mask of antisemitism to express his anti-Palestinian stance. He knows full well there are Jews welcomed in the demonstration, and that it is his behaviour that is thus the issue and not his religion. His attempt at manipulation was blatantly visible.

It's not up to anyone at the demonstration to tell Jews where they are or aren't welcome. You also don't get to redefine words like genocide or terrorist for the rest of us. Let's not forget these pro Hamas protesters weren't even allowing any display of solidarity with the hostages and murdered Israelis in the week after Oct 7th. Excuses? There aren't any. The Hamas supporters are aggressively harassing whoever they please. This is the UK. Nobody in the UK needs permission from a terrorist organization to hold our Remembrance parade either. The police are there to make sure *any* legitimate protest or other use of public space goes ahead and these protests must be banned.

Of course he went there to get a reaction. It was a legal/tactical experiment that got the police to make an admission that they believed that the crowd would be hostile to a group of people with Jewish appearance who didn't have an obvious affiliation to the march. After major blundering by senior ranks the police eventually got it right when they said 'being Jewish can never be a provocation'. It doesn't matter who ran the experiment.
