During a recent Newham Council meeting, a Jewish Labour councillor, @JoshuaGarfield, faced antisemitic harassment as he was booed and hissed at by individuals in the public gallery while discussing the budget. The incident has sparked widespread condemnation, including from London's Mayor Sadiq Khan, who emphasized that there is no place in Newham or the city for antisemitism or hate speech. Following the incident, a police investigation has been launched to probe the antisemitic actions directed at Garfield, as reported by @JewishNewsUK. Despite the harassment, Garfield has stated that he will not be bullied out of public life.
