Police have arrested four people after a convoy of at least six cars was filmed driving down Finchley Road on Sunday, blasting their horns and screaming “F*** the Jews, rape their daughters.”
In scenes reminiscent of the darkest days of Islamic State, three individuals could be seen standing up through the sunroofs waving Palestinian flags. The six cars, emblazoned with Palestinian flags on their bonnets and back windows, are seen stopping at traffic lights before driving on in the direction of Golders Green and the North Circular. They were later filmed near Brent Cross.
One male voice can be heard through a loudspeaker exclaiming: “F*** their mothers. Rape their daughters. We have to send a message.”
The Metropolitan Police made four arrests under racial aggravated public disorder offences at around 6.30pm on Sunday evening. Two of the vehicles are understood to be untaxed. Their owners are believed to have driven from Bradford and Oldham.
The CST assisted the police to identify the cars by matching them to cars from earlier in the convoy. A CST spokesperson said: “We have seen increasingly serious ‘pro-Palestinian’ antisemitic attacks and anti-Jewish intimidation across London on Sunday. This comes after three anti-Israel demonstrations in a week, each featuring swastikas and Jihadi anti-Jewish chants, all unchallenged as usual by the supposed “anti-racist” left.”
The convoy has also been spotted near Brent Cross and Golders Green.https://t.co/9BaOqxuL8a
