In London, a series of incidents highlighting antisemitism have been reported amid the Israel and Hamas conflict. Metropolitan Police arrested 12 people after Palestinian supporters were removed from a statue in Trafalgar Square. A Jewish man, identified as Joseph, faced verbal and physical abuse at Speaker's Corner, an event witnessed by Royal Parks Police who allegedly did not intervene. Another incident involved a Jewish man being abused on the London Underground. Videos and reports have circulated showing mobs directing antisemitic slurs towards Jews, with one case involving a German-speaking Muslim migrant. Despite the presence of police, there have been criticisms of inaction as no arrests were made in several of these incidents, except for the 12 arrests in Trafalgar Square. The situation has sparked concern and debate over antisemitism and the safety of Jews in London.

Police stand by and watch as a mob threaten to “bash the f**k” out of the only Jew in Speakers Corner. The same @metpoliceuk who banned @TRobinsonNewEra from London for SUPPORTING Jews. Londonistan isn't safe for Jews or our allies. https://t.co/f78PwTYZGk
"You're a f**king Jew" "F**king Jew" "I f**k you Israel” Antisemitism by a 🇵🇸 mob, right in front of @metpoliceuk who yet again, fail to act. Whilst some MPs bang on about “Islamophobia” & the “far right”, this is the threat Jews face in the UK. https://t.co/zqohjo0Ydm
A video of a Jewish man receiving abuse on the London Underground, due to his religion, has been circulating on the internet. The Israel and Hamas conflict has caused concern around antisemitism in the capital, this being a recent example of the issue. @antisemitism https://t.co/2326BtS9l4
Watch this lone Jew, single-handedly, take on an antisemitic mob in London. British Jews, the writing is on the wall. https://t.co/y2dc1TWyAo

This is Joseph from @israel_advocacy at Speaker's Corner in the summer. Visibly Jewish he's spat on, verbally & physically abused by Islamists & including Ali Dawah. I've been there & the Royal Parks Police @MPSRoyal_Parks would've been present. Believe me they do nothing. https://t.co/T0Ja275jh6
