MY TERROR OVER RACE HATE MOBS

A HOLOCAUST survivor rescued by Britain has told how the pro-Palestinian marches have left him fearing for his life for the first time since fleeing the Nazis.

He said the brewing hatred which has infected swathes of the country brought back vivid memories of the persecution he faced as a child in Germany.

Now aged 93 and living in the north of England, he declared: "I never thought I would see this darkness return." The man was too frightened to give his name, saying that ever since the October 7 massacre by Hamas in Israel he has feared for his and his family's safety.

But while the survivor, who was rescued as a child by the Kindertransport network, felt forced to stay anonymous, thousands took to the streets across Britain to gleefully condemn Israel. The marches - which took place in cities including London, Manchester, Nottingham and Newcastle came after the leader of the Hezbollah terror group praised the protesters.

Demonstrators call for Israel to be 'torn down'

A day of shame for the UK saw:

  • The Cenotaph cordoned off as Home Secretary Suella Braverman warned anybody vandalising it would be jailed;
  • Chants of "Smash the Zionist settler state" belted out in a crowded Tube train;
  • Posters showing Hamas bulldozers breaking through security fences ahead of the slaughter of 1,400 innocents;
  • A protester in Kensington saying the only path to peace is if "Israel is torn down from the ground up";

One shocked expert says parts of the country are now no-go areas for the Jewish community, adding: "This is London in 2023 we are not talking about Berlin in 1936."
