Anti Semitic bus attack

A charming bunch of ‘men’ videoed spitting and abusing some Jewish people on a bus.
Sad in itself, but up to about an hour ago, the bbc link had the video, but pixelated out the perps and did not offer any ‘description’ of them. One Wonderswhy?
Now it has been updated to show stills as the Police are looking for these guys in relation to a ‘hate crime’.
I hope plod catch up with them. Why can’t they just mind their own business. What harm are these people doing sitting on a bus?

Plenty of people are just not very nice, including many on here. I've experienced the usual 'sky fairies' response from many for instance.
No it isn't right, will they get these, perhaps, will it stop nope, will some on here realise that whilst they're not spitting on a bus, they're not exactly trying to create a world in which all feel accepted either, not one bit!

Are you saying we should do more to create a world where we accept people should be able to freely spit at other people for sitting on a bus / being Jewish ?

I'm saying the exact opposite.Being free should not mean you are free to abuse anyone else, that's not freedom. It's freedom for some, not all.

For what it's worth, your post was as clear as day to me.Being free should not mean you are free to abuse anyone else, that's not freedom. It's freedom for some, not all.
Curious post to say the least.

These kids were celebrating Hanukkah and causing no harm to anyone.
The very idea that Jews in 2021 were treated with Nazi-level abuse in London is horrifying.
And yet not a surprise. The very idea that Jews in 2021 were treated with Nazi-level abuse in London is horrifying.
Some areas of our Capital are utter cesspits, but this is Oxford Street. How does this happen and no one catch or follow them. It’s walll to wall cctv ffs.

Waving hands, shouting and spitting on the outside of a bus is not "Nazi-level abuse" for goodness' sake. Their actions were disgusting but this kind of histrionics is just silly.The very idea that Jews in 2021 were treated with Nazi-level abuse in London is horrifying.

Footage shows men spitting at the bus and apparently abusing passengers...
In the video, which was posted on social media, a man seems to make a Nazi salute and others wave their shoes - an insult in some countries.
That’s exactly how the brown shirts behaved. Are we in 1930s Germany? No. Are the behaviours similar? Yes.In the video, which was posted on social media, a man seems to make a Nazi salute and others wave their shoes - an insult in some countries.

So if you picked 100 random people, and said "describe the Nazi behaviour to Jewish people?" would you get most people saying:Edited by Ridgemont on Friday 3rd December 00:58
A). They waved their hands, shouted, and spat at them, or
B). They forced them from their homes at gunpoint, carted them across Europe to death camps, where they were systematically robbed, worked to death and then executed
Whilst the behaviour in the video is awful, and should have no place in our society, to compare it to "the Nazi's" is ridiculous, and quite rightly has been called out.
Yes, the brown shirts may have started off as street thugs, but that's not what Nazi means now. Unless you're suggesting these events are indeed a precursor to the UK moving from early 1830s German into late 1930s Germany? (Equally ridiculous)

I just wanted to say the same.I was born in London, in what would now be called a multi-cultural area. We had a couple of Jewish families in our street and I didn't know for years. The first I was aware was a comment by a teacher - nasty bloke and I assume now he was anti-semitic. The outcome was the reverse of what he intended as the lad became a bit cool after the stories we'd heard about the war. For most, where you orginated was a non-issue.
This isn't a 'good old days' rant from someone terminally nostalgic; I'm just sorry that state of affairs has changed, and not for the better.
