Man shouting abuse in London Underground claims “I’m an IDF soldier!”. He probably is, says @richardsudan. The IDF hate black people, Muslims and target women. https://t.co/sJVhSXBMLe
This is in London. A man claiming to be an Israeli Soldier screams Antisemitism, and then uses vile Islamophobic language against the girl: “Dirty f***ing Muslims.” Zionists feel entitled to insult other faiths but hide behind "Antisemitism" if anyone criticises them. https://t.co/LWImksP0Fs
