Shocking footage has emerged of an alleged Palestine supporter ripping down posters of missing Israelis at a busy tourist spot in Manchester.

As the man filming in Salford approaches the woman, she quickly covers her face up to only show her eyes.

He said: “If it was your sister… or one of your mothers would you take it [down] as well?

“If you were in Gaza, you would probably not be allowed to wear these trousers. Probably they would kill you as well.

“Shame on you. Disgrace.

“Go and learn a little bit. Killing little kids… chopping their heads off… that’s what you know what to do.”

Elsewhere in Manchester, some posters had “Free Palestine” written on them.

It comes amid calls to British police to start prosecuting “heartless” people who tear down the posters.

After the terror group Hamas took more than 200 hostages from Israel, mourners, and supporters of the Jewish state have put posters up around the UK.

In north London, two women last week were seen tearing down posters with one heard yelling “this is for Palestine”.

And more recently, another woman outside what appears to be MediaCityUK in Salford, was confronted for doing the same thing.

A spokesman at the Community Security Trust, a charity which provides security and advice to the Jewish community, said: “These are posters of innocent civilians, including children, who are being held hostage by a terror group that murdered many of their families.

“It is difficult to understand the heartlessness and cruelty of anyone who would rip them down in this way. It is something that is causing immense hurt across the Jewish community and we hope the police will investigate and prosecute anybody doing this.”

The posters detail the names, ages and a picture of individual victims who were taken captive by Hamas.

The posters that were scribbled on included one showing an adorable picture of a nine-month-old Israeli baby called Kfir.

In Central London, Campaign Against Antisemitism activists were told to turn off billboards showing children kidnapped by Hamas or they face “breach of peace” charges if it didn’t, the charity says.

CAA chief executive, Gideon Falter, described his experiences in a video posted on X, “one of the most disturbing” in more than a decade at the charity.

In a statement, CAA chief executive, Gideon Falter said: “Our volunteers were left shaken by the protesters who were harassing and intimidating them, and the police did nothing.

“Instead, the officers told our drivers to turn off their billboards and stop showing the faces of children kidnapped by a proscribed terrorist organisation, apparently because their sympathisers on British streets might attack us for showing them.

“Then when I attended the scene the police did the same thing, going so far as to restrain me, supposedly for my ‘own safety’.

“Before we set out, we had worried that these billboards might attract attention from Hamas sympathisers. We never imagined that it would be the police who would stop us from showing the faces of children kidnapped by a terrorist group banned by the UK Government.”

The Met Police said in a statement about this incident: “We have watched the video and we understand why this has caused concern. The officers were in the area because of a vigil that was happening nearby organised by the Palestine Solidarity Campaign.

“We have reviewed the body-worn video of the officers involved to establish the full sequence of events. This exchange happened at around the same time as the vigil came to an end and the priority of officers was the safety of everyone involved and those nearby.

“We will be making contact with the Campaign Against Antisemitism to discuss the matter further and update them on the work taking place across the Met to tackle hate crime.”
