Police arrested a Jewish activist protesting the sale of illegally occupied West Bank land at a north London synagogue on Sunday. Dozens of anti-Zionists waved Palestinian flags and chanted outside the synagogue in Edgware, which was hosting a ‘Great Israeli Real Estate’ event. Footage shared by Jewish anti-Zionist groups show a Jewish man being violently detained by the police, with one officer using his elbow to push the activist’s head against the floor. Another activist interrupted a presentation inside the synagogue and was escorted outside the building by guards. “We reject the use of our faith and culture as a justification for occupation, war crimes and genocide,” wrote the Jewish Bloc on Instagram.
