To me, he is a troublemaker. A pro Palestinian March, so he gets himself filmed accusing the police of antisemitism. Knob.
Swansea Indepenent Poster Of The Year 2021. Dr P / Mart66 / Roathie / Parlay / E20/ Duffle was 2nd, but he is deluded and thinks in his little twisted brain that he won. Poor sod. We let him win this year, as he has cried for a whole year. His 14 usernames, bless his cotton socks.
When these nice pro Palestinian people are accused of anti semitism the oft trotted out line is that they are critical of the Israeli government and its actions, not Jewish people in general. So why are they shouting “Zionist scum” at a random British Jew in London and why do the metropolitan police feel it’s necessary to keep them apart for safety reasons?
Without doubt he was there to raise hackles and he did make a right nuisance of himself.
When he wanted to cross the road they should have warned him about his safety and had an officer escort him.
Thing is, we allow the pro Palestinian marches but why shouldn't jews have the right to protest too?
As much as I believe Israel has gone too far we shouldn't forget what happened out there to trigger this.
Jews have held rallies/ protests in London every Thursday evening for the last 40 years. If a Palestinian was to cause problems he/she would be arrested. Agree on what started this in October, and I think that was absolutely awful. Palestinians were not going to carry on being bullied and harassed, land constantly taken off them, kicked out of their homes so settlers could grab them. It’s a mess.

It looks like there’s more to this story than meet the eye. The Guardian are reporting that an extended version of the footage has appeared on Sky News showing an officer explaining to his concern which was that Falter had been acting in a way that led the police officer to believe Falter was trying to provoke a confrontation with marchers. The incident lasted over 10 minutes and it is alleged Falter tried to push past the officers who offered to help him cross at an alternative location.
The we have the likes of Braverman etc putting the boot in to the police etc, when they may have been better placed to keep their counsel and wait until the whole story comes out. Policing this kind of event can’t be easy for the police, they’ve got to balance the rights of people to lawfully protest with the conduct of the more challenging individuals who may be intent on provoking trouble.

There’s little doubt this guy was clearly looking for his thirty seconds of fame and was unnecessarily belligerent. But if he’s “provoking trouble” simply by being a Jew then there’s clearly a deeper lying issue here.

I believe the Met is more bothered about being seen to upset Arab and Muslim countries than Jews and Israel. It is not fashionable to support Israsl. It never has been. The Commissioner Rowley is another craven piece of human flesh
The policeman would never say you look obviously black to someone.
depends on curcumstances, if the KKK were having a march they might say a black man shouldn't go there!
This is religion though, not race.
I've read that Falter has been a bit f a nuisance, going around trying to make a "point" and being provocative. It's a claim somebody posted on facebook, anybody know if it's genuine? Is falter a proper troublemaker? I know hes chairman of the "Campaign against antisemitism"

This guy is an Orthodox Jew though so for him and other Orthodox Jews it is an issue with race rather than religion as their jewishness is determined through matrilineal descent regardless of belief.

Yeah but this was Jew against Muslim, not black against white. Reigious difference not racial.

It's about discrimination, would the policeman say you are obviously a Muslim?
I have read that there are countless photographs of this man not wearing a Kippah when out and about. He chose to wear one whilst demanding to walk through a pro Palestinian March.

Benjamin Netanyahu will not make a settlement to allow the areas under their control a STATE to live in , in peace. A solution can be found as long as both side give ground.
This is causing serious problems for the Western World and western principles. Muslim critics point to this situation to prove to their own public that democracy and freedom are a hoax. Dictators like China gain friends at the expense or Western liberalism.
The recent Trump standoff over Ukraine show Israel does not have complete control over US politics.
Israel now claims a Palestinian State is not possible because of 500,000 settlers in the West Bank. It make no difference if you accept like I do that non politicised Muslims Christian and Jews can live together in peace. The West Bank can survive as a Palestinian State linked to Gaza by road and rail links with security provided by the IDF with UN observers with the consent of Palestinians for a 50 year transition period.
Have got to the stage were , turning telebox on . viewing news reports on line and other sources , propoganda and bias reporting , added and including , dreaded mobile phones.
Seems honest reporting on The Facts has gone , agendas run media now .
Auntie Beeb for all its faults , covered Angela Van de Bogerd squirming and hand wringing during her evidence , blamed everybody else , no on your watch this happened .
Seems the FA of Wales then employed after she jumped ship . I give up sometimes .

He's got more than 30 seconds of fame already he is a well known Zionist and "antisemitism" campaigner.
He basically runs the JNF Charitable trust who encourage Jewish settlers to live on occupied Arab land in the West Bank. He was there to stoke trouble and not much else.
It's not about colour it's about discrimination, why can't people wear a yarmulke?
Well he clearly didn't know he was jewish by his skin colour but because he was wearing the Yarmulke. Which makes it religion. He didn't want him being there because the way things are in Gaza, he didn't want a Jewish protestor mingling with islamic protestors.
It's similar to the divide in Northern Ireland, keeping two warring religious groups apart to keep the peace and preserve public safety.
You can call it discrimination but Falter could have been hurt if he'd walked through the march. My opinion, they should have warned him then let him go. it was his choice and if he ended up in hospital it would have been his fault.

He would have been an incendiary presence though.
The Met apologised twice.
Falter has cancelled a anti-Semitism March today, it does not look like he's spoiling for a fight.
You may be happy to see Jews end up in hospital, I am not.

If you can’t tell Gideon Falter is Jewish without his hat on you probably need to go to specsavers 😂

The police have a duty of care to the public regardless what individuals want. He was rightly held back from causing harm to others or himself.

“This is religion though, not race”
Yeah, tell that to Hitler and the Nazis. What a stupid comment
