Gideon Falter, chief executive of the Campaign Against Antisemitism, was wearing a kippah skull cap when he was stopped from crossing the road.
The Metropolitan Police have apologised for causing “further offence” with an earlier apology about an officer’s use of the term “openly Jewish” to an antisemitism campaigner who was threatened with arrest near a pro-Palestine march.
Earlier we posted a statement about a video released on Thursday evening by the Campaign Against Antisemitism.An earlier apology from the Met suggested opponents of the marches “must know that their presence is provocative” and they are “increasing the likelihood of an altercation” by lining the route to object.
“We have reflected on the strength of the response to our previous statement. In an effort to make a point about the policing of protest we caused further offence. This was never our intention. We have removed that statement and we apologise.“Being Jewish is not a provocation. Jewish Londoners must be able to feel safe in this city.
