Some Jews participate in pro-Palestinian marches so why does this not get reported on by the British press?

 

We're constantly told that something called the "Jewish Community" doesn't feel safe on the streets of London because of pro-Palestinian marches and demonstrations against genocide and ethnic cleansing in Gaza.

Gideon Falter, the Chief Executive of the pro-Israeli lobby group, the Campaign Against Antisemitism (CAA), recently staged a cheap political stunt when he tried to cross a London street wearing a yarmulke skull cap when a pro-Palestinian march was passing by. A Met police officer prevented him from doing so because he believed his actions to be provocative and could cause a breach of the peace. When Falter insisted that he only wanted to cross the road, the police officer accused him of being disingenuous and said that he might have to arrest him, but preferred not to do so. Although the police officer offered to escort Falter and his burly minders to another crossing point, Falter refused the offer. He later said: "I was treated like a criminal for being Jewish."

I've been to pro-Palestinian demonstrations and have seen Jewish people present. How did I know they were Jewish? I knew this because they were dressed in religious garb. Nobody assaulted them or threatened them. It's not unusual to see Jewish people supporting these demonstrations and marches. Many Jewish people including religious Jews, condemn the actions of the Israeli government in the West Bank and Gaza, and don't even recognise the state of Israel. This rarely ever gets mentioned in the British press or by the media. 

Some years ago, I attended a pro-Palestinian demonstration in Manchester. It took place outside Marks & Spencer at the Andale Centre. A counter demonstration was also staged by Jewish activists who hurled abuse at us. They were actually shouting directly into our faces and trying to provoke us into hitting them. It was pretty obvious that they were trying to provoke an incident at a peaceful protest, to get the police involved so they could claim they were victims of antisemitism. I actually found their actions hilarious because it was so obvious what they were up to.
