Petty-minded little twat!
That's what many think about Gideon Falter, who demands the resignation of the head of the Metropolitan Police, just because a low-ranking officer policing a pro-Palestinian protest suggested that being there wearing his kippah (for reasons you may speculate) and thus being "openly Jewish", he could precipitate a breach of the peace upon himself (at that time, at that protest). The officer was not putting Palestinians before Jews, nor putting down Jews, nor giving a toss (probably) about the pointless protest.
Gideon's apparently pathetic behaviour is a akin to asking his surgeon to resign because he didn't like a porter. If he had been attacked I guess he'd be happy to receive assistance from that officer, who wouldn't care less about him being a Jew: An over-focussed busy-body Jew in this instance, who could maybe think less of his Jewish-ness and "scoring points" off an easy target and more about the antipathy he generates against his true cause (whatever that is).
I get that he want's to push the "rights" of Jews via "his" NGO body called Campaign Against Antisemitism, but really? Talk about inflating a perceived slight into front-page news (with media assistance); when someone calls out to me, "you fat bastard" (as I am!) I don't shout back, "you can't say that because I'm a Jew", nor do I call for my doctor to resign because he can't make me thin.
Let's all keep our ongoing struggles in perspective, or call the Prime Minister to be appalled on our behalf. Talk about "the media" hyping stories. You need look no further tan this.
If you remain vaguely interested in the plight of Gideon Falter here are a few links.
Gideon Falter says this (in The Mail Online). Note the minders.
