Threatened with arrest for being openly Jewish on the streets of London on 07:12 - Apr 22 by BanksterDebtSlave
I wonder how many times a man needs to cross a road and/or walk against the flow of a demonstration to get home or indeed find a confrontation! Lucky for him the Met finally filled the void.
Without ignoring the inappropriate words of the plod, it's clear that in Gideon Falter he was facing a right royal pain in the arse for about 15 minutes and showed enormous tolerance and patience.
If the Arabs living in Israel had to deal with policing like that they might start to believe they lived in a genuine democracy.

What the Police said Saturday was clearly unacceptable.
Gideon clearly has an agenda though and has been doing this for months, even once driving an ‘advertising’van through a protest (or trying to).
Gideon Falter is also Vice Chair of UK branch of largest Israeli settlement building body in Palestine whose members include Netanyahu.
This wasn’t just a bloke out for a walk who happened upon a protest
You mean these advertising vans that have been driven around all of a London since 7/10 highlighting the plight of the kidnapped children and other hostages?

Indeed.
The man is clearly a provocateur twunt of the highest order.
I'm sure that Steven Yaxley-Lennon has been roundly mocked from all corners on here before, for having done exactly the same thing, no?

So this highlights another Police mistake: He wasn't being protected by the police for being openly Jewish, but rather protected by the police despite being a nasty Palestinian-home-snatching, Police provoking twonk.
I hope the Police set the record straight and issue another apology for their apology for their original apology.

Who could object to that?
No-one could object to it and I don't think anyone has.
Unless the man was trying to drive it into where a crowd of protestors were gathered, you'd been asked by the Police not too before and you had a record of trying to do a similar thing multiple times.
I'm not trying to debate who is ultimately right or wrong, but he has some very high-powered friends here who are giving him multi-channel media access and seemingly to forget how he operates in those reports.

See what is happening here is that a Jewish man has been discriminated against due to being “openly Jewish” and so now several posters attempt to divert this and attack his character, which has no relevance to the incident.

"A note for Phil - if the thread goes further south & you're considering deleting the whole thing, please *don't* - just lock it instead."
I doubt Phil reads much of the non-footy stuff. So my point is that he will only intervene if his attention is drawn to the thread by someone reporting a post as abusive.
That’s actually incorrect - there have been numerous instances of him reading threads of “non footy stuff” (even contributing to a few) where his attention has *not* been drawn by ‘abuse reported’. And some of those threads have then gone (frequently spawning “what happened to that thread?” follow-up threads).

It's entirely possible to disagree with his actions and intent, whilst also disagreeing with the terminology used by the officer in question.
To paraphrase: "but I don't want to cross there, I want to cross there.".
If he was so intent on merely getting safely to the other side of the road, why would he not accept the officer's offer of an escort to a safe crossing point?

I've just said this on another thread - but for all the attempts at diversion - if 'being openly Jewish' is considered provocative, then we're focusing on the wrong problem.

You would be allowed to cross where you want . A Jewish man wasn’t. That’s all there is to this story.

Mr Falter clearly doesn't realise that for every poster showing a kidnapped Israeli child displayed on the streets of London, there would likely be 10 posters of Palestinian children detained by the IDF and INP..
Our police have obviously decided that such a poster war will only escalate tensions between supporters of either side in the current conflict.
I'm all for anti racism campaign groups but they risk being counter-productive if they use provocative activism to get their messages across.

Nope that isn't what is happening as you know. He was trying repeatedly to provoke a reaction from protesters and failed or was he just trying to get home from his place of worship....lol! Think your op title needs an edit.

out of interest, how should Falter get his message across, if he's not make reference to the hostages?
Has anyone ever looked at their own postings for last day or so? Oh my... so sorry. Was Ullaa

It isn't....the end. What the officer meant to say was "you're a provocative tw@t, now let me assist you in going home!"

As I said in my post, what the police initially said was wrong.
However, he is also known to the police and the background and context of his actions previously, which are very much relevant in the overall context, are going unreported.
Both are wrong.

To be fair Ryorry, you are in no position to say that what I doubt is actually incorrect. You can question my claims and assertions but not my doubts.

That’s semantics gone mad.
I simply gave you the facts.

I'm not having a go at anyone for anything.
EDIT
Responding to your edit which is now a completely different post:
I'm impressed that you know both the percentage of the non-football posts which Phil contributes to AND the percentage of those those threads which he actually reads.
Anyway, let's get back to the essence of the thread.

Yes I edited my post slightly just to remove the "why have a go at me for posting the facts" element, one minute before you replied - it's difficult for me to see whole posts when on my phone
Your ridiculous semantics in which you try to deny basic facts of what long-standing posters have seen for themselves over the years, says a lot about you.
I made 0, zero, reference to percentages, only you did that.
If you want to get back to the essence of the thread, then stop banging on pedantically whilst going off on one down semantic rabbit warrens.
