Gideon Falter, the head of the Campaign Against Antisemitism organization, was allegedly confronted Saturday by a London policeman who feared his being “openly Jewish” might disturb the public peace, the Telegraph reported.
Falter said he was trying to cross the street while wearing a skull cap and a bag carrying his prayer shawl after attending religious services while a pro-Palestine march was occurring in the area, the outlet noted. A police sergeant allegedly stopped Falter from crossing the road while the march was taking place over his concern that the presence of a Jew could spark problems with the protesters, the outlet reported.
