Four men 'try to force a Jewish pedestrian into a car boot' in London

This is the shocking moment four men appeared to try and force a Jewish pedestrian into the boot of their car in North London .

North London neighbourhood watch group Shomrim, which monitors areas with large Jewish communities, issued an alert about what they called an 'attempted kidnap' this afternoon. Shromrim's online post told the 'incident ended when the victim said he was calling police and other vehicles approached'. 'The victim was approached by one of the males and allegedly told the victim to get into the boot of the car, shortly before driving off.

Shomrim was also told: 'That's surely a crime but it looks more like idiots behaving like such more than a genuine attempted kidnap.'The outrage comes after Gideon Falter, who leads the Campaign Against Antisemitism , was threatened with arrest for appearing 'openly Jewish' at a pro-Palestine march last week

Holocaust survivor Noemi Ebenstein, 82, urged the world to wake up to the scourge of anti-Semitism following another day of swastikas being waved through London. Tory peer Lord Pickles, the UK's special envoy on post-Holocaust issues, said the sight of the memorial wrapped in plastic sheeting 'sends a terrible message to Jews in London and across the UK'.

The memorial consists of two boulders lying within a gravel bed, surrounded by a copse of silver birch trees. It is inscribed in both English and Hebrew with the words 'For these I weep. Streams of tears flow from my eyes because of the destruction of my people,' which is a quotation from the Book of Lamentations

Instead, just a few dozen counter-protesters gathered at Pall Mall where they were protected by rows of police as up to 200,000 pro-Palestinians marched past.
