A British police officer was filmed having a heated discussion with a Jewish woman who was offended by a swastika at an anti-Israel march in London, England.
Video of a police officer in London having a heated discussion with a woman about the offensiveness of swastikas has circulated across social media. The video was taken on Saturday during a massive pro-Palestinian rally that the Metropolitan Police were monitoring. In the video, a visibly upset woman confronted the officer about an anti-Israeli participant who allegedly showed off a swastika. The officer did not seem to agree that swastikas are offensive symbols that threaten public order.
haven't said anything about it, that it is or it isn't,' he replied. 'Everything needs to be taken into context, doesn't it?' 'Yeah, but it's a context of a hateful march,' another woman chimed in, while the first woman shot back, 'Why does a swastika need context?' 'Why is a swastika not immediately antisemitism?' the woman added. 'Why does it need context? This is what I’m confused about. This isn’t even about Israel.
Fox News Digital reached out to the Metropolitan Police for additional comment.
