Fury as Anti-Israel Protest Erupts Outside Jewish-Owned Notting Hill Restaurant

Anti-Zionist protesters showed up outside an Israeli restaurant in London on Friday night, with scenes quickly turning ugly. The Standard has more.

Footage showed around 50 people stood under a banner proclaiming themselves as the “International Jewish Anti-Zionist Network” outside the Israeli restaurants Miznon on Elgin Crescent in Notting Hill, West London.

Video footage captured an activist using a megaphone to shout: “Standing with the resistance, we affirm that Palestinians have the right to return to their homeland that was stolen from them during the 1948 Nakba [when the state of Israel declared its independence].

“We believe in the right to resist by any and all means necessary, for the full liberation and from the river to the sea!”

A chant then broke out of “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free”.

Historian Simon Sebag Montefiore condemned the protest. He wrote on X: “Shocked to see this disgraceful scene outside a Jewish restaurant in Notting Hill. Attacked by a crowd shouting racism and intimidating innocent clients and staff who r defended by a large police presence. Thanks to Met Police for being there but this should not be happening.” [sic]

Stop Press: Kemi Badenoch says it’s “yet another example of harassment and incitement to violence against Jews and law-abiding people on our streets”, according to the Telegraph.

How many examples of police standing by watching anti-semitic racist abuse do we need?

Was this IRGC sponsored?

Maybe in response to the possible demise of the IRGC, a nightmare for the anti Israelis.

The Musulman Jihad will be surrounding your local church soon demanding it be burnt to the ground with the laity inside. The ‘Nigerian imitation job’ they call it. (due to climate change).

I don’t recall Christians or Atheists doing something similar in Notting Hill before the ‘Great Enrichment’ took hold of this mentally ill society.

“From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free” is a code phrase for the planned Second Holocaust, in the same way that The Final Solution was code for the first Holocaust.

It’s well past the point when these types of protests are properly described.
They’re anti-Jewish protests pure and simple.
It’s likely, or highly likely, the owners of the restaurant are British citizens who have never lived in Israel. No one knows what their opinion is on the war in Gaza or Netanyahu, maybe they’re among the minority of Jews who oppose the war, more settlements being built on the West Bank etc.
