Video shows lone Jewish man confront masked 'Hamas supporters' at London anti-Israel rally
The man, draped in an Israeli flag, walks straight into a baying mob of masked Hamas supporters.
Jaw-dropping video footage has emerged of a lone Jewish man confronting masked anti-Israel protesters in London.
The man, who himself was draped in an Israeli flag, was initially stopped by police, it appears before reaching the main protest area.
He told officers: “I have every right to walk down there. They can surround me all they like. They’ve already killed 800 of us, one more won’t hurt will it?”
Someone can be heard telling the goateed man to “be careful”. It was unclear whether or not this was a threat or a genuine piece of advice to the lone protester.
Shortly afterwards the video shows what appears to be an anti-Israel demonstrator passing very close to the Jewish man and calling him “scum”.

A female demonstrator tells the isolated Jewish protester “you have to leave”, while another tells him the anti-Israel event is a “peaceful protest”.
The brave protester, who spoke with a northern accent, sharply retorted: “If it’s a peaceful protest why are you masking up?”.
Emboldened, the protester brands the Palestine-supporting demonstrators “murdering b*******” and “Hamas-supporting c****”.
A police cordon is formed around the Jewish protester as shouts of “free, free Palestine” can be heard.
