Hatred Spewed in Anti-Semitic Attack in London

Hatred and anti-Semitism plunged to a disgusting new low as Jews in northern London were attacked with gas canisters and dangerous threats.

“Hitler is on the way to you!” they shouted.

As reported by the BBC:

Three Jewish shoppers in north London have been pelted with gas canisters by men in a pickup truck shouting “Hitler is on the way”, locals said.

The incident, which allegedly took place on Wednesday at at Tottenham Hale Retail Park, has been reported to the Metropolitan Police.

Jewish security patrol Shomrim said it was called by one of the victims.

A spokesperson said the victims were not injured but “quite shaken”.

The men in the truck shouted “Heil Hitler” as they threw small gas refill canisters at the victims, the spokesperson said.

Shomrim volunteer Michael Blayer said: “This behaviour is appalling, the victims were innocent shoppers at the Tottenham Hale Retail Park, and they were targeted because they were visibly Jewish.”

“The verbal abuse was disgusting, and small objects were thrown towards the victims, making them fear for their immediate safety.”

Shomrim is a group of volunteers which aims to make people feel more secure in areas of north London with large Jewish populations.

Anti-Semitic crimes have accounted for 38% of all crimes in London in the past year with 184 more anti-Semitic offences between November 2014 and November 2015 than the previous year.
