Petty-minded little twat!
That's what many think about Gideon Falter, who demanded 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 upon) 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 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 same 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, nor call the Prime Minister to be appalled on our behalf. Talk about "the media" hyping stories. You need look no further than 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.
Hear that man grind his axe (copper exonerated)
Side Note: Ultra orthodox Jews living in Israel are now deemed eligible for conscription into the Israeli army and as the war in Gaza grinds on their indignation in obvious in their selfish collective protestations. Their religious exemption has been removed and funding for their seminaries suspended, but at last they will be able to "fight" those that their fellow right-wing political brethren seemingly want eradicating. I hope their sincere beliefs will protect them from PTSD and the carnage they are now expected to embark upon, and that battle-hardened troops will greet them into their world without any resentment for their orthodoxy. If lucky enough to hold dual nationality I guess they could scuttle back to productive studies in another country?

What on earth were these two idiots trying to achieve, or expect from their rather odd decision to "visit" Gaza for fact-finding and why the apparent political upset in the UK that they were turned away by Israel, which they and their ilk condemned as political censorship. It may well have been because Israel have no desire to interact with minor-league MPs who have a righteous self-affirming feeling they would like to "fact-find". I think we have all the facts we need about Israel's actions of late.
They went to Gaza without a cat in Hell's chance of influencing anything there, but believed that as British Members of Parliament they would be welcomed to (re)view Israel's dirty little war. They were deluded! As for their political cohort, who are apparently indignant and dismayed at Israel's denial of their Gaza trip, I would say stop trying to score cheap political points, wake-up to your true importance in the real world and concentrate on the needs of your constituency.
I just hope it was a self-funded trip and not paid for by public tax money.
