“It’s not your religion, it’s the Black Hebrews’”: Identifiably Jewish family reportedly abused on London bus

Video footage on Twitter appears to show a Jewish mother and her children, one of whom is believed to be a three-year-old, being yelled at on a London bus.

In the extended footage seen by Campaign Against Antisemitism, a man appears to shout: “It’s not your religion, it’s the Black Hebrews’. You keep it from them.”

A woman can be heard calling to the driver “Can you open the door please?” while the man continues yelling next to the identifiably Jewish children.

The alleged incident occurred on the 67 bus and was reported by Stamford Hill Shomrim, the Jewish volunteer neighbourhood watch patrol.

Campaign Against Antisemitism’s analysis of Home Office statistics shows that an average of over five hate crimes are directed at Jews every single day in England and Wales, with Jews more than five times likelier to be targets of hate crimes than any other faith group.
