Police investigate Hizballah song being blasted outside Jewish school in London
A newly-surfaced video appears to show men in a car loudly playing a Hizballah song outside of a Jewish school in London.
In the video posted by the JC, men are seemingly seen singing and laughing in a car whilst filming a group of young children. A caption at the top says “Drove past the Zionist school on full blast” with three laughing emojis.
The translated song says: “We are Hizballah, be our witness, you son of the most righteous of prophets.”
Comments on the original video, believed to have been first uploaded to TikTok, reportedly include remarks such as “Why not run them over? You missed the opportunity” from a user called “I hate kikes”.
Another comment allegedly said: “Ah my brother I know exactly where you are and what the school is around that corner! That’s brilliant what you did!!!”
The alleged incident took place on 26th April on the corner of Green Lane and Brent Street, between Hasmonean Primary School and the Independent Jewish Day School.
Reportedly, the original song was first published by Hamas. The words allegedly state that members “are immortalised by blood.”
The incident is being investigated by police following reports from Campaign Against Antisemitism, CST and others.
In 2019, following a gruelling effort over several years by Campaign Against Antisemitism and our allies, Hizballah was completely proscribed by the Home Secretary, Sajid Javid, with the support of the Foreign Secretary, Jeremy Hunt.
Hizballah’s Secretary-General, Hassan Nasrallah, has previously said: “If Jews all gather in Israel, it will save us the trouble of going after them worldwide.” Hizballah has been true to its mission, bombing Jewish targets from Buenas Aires to Burgas, and it has even been blamed for setting off two bombs in London outside buildings used by Jews and Israelis.
A spokesperson for Campaign Against Antisemitism said: “It is a criminal offence to show support for a proscribed terrorist organisation and to incite racial or religious hatred. This incident is especially concerning, having targeted schoolchildren, and both the perpetrators and some of those who commented on the video must urgently face justice.”
