Jewish marchers chanting 'Zionist scum not welcome here' are driven from their OWN Cable Street anniversary

Jewish descendants of those who fought Mosley's Blackshirts at Cable Street in 1936 were forced to hold a separate memorial after anti-Zionist demonstrators blocked them from the official 90th anniversary march on Sunday. The group, 'Cable St Jews', had gathered portraits of 55 veterans and attended peacefully, only to be screamed at and physically confronted by protesters chanting 'Zionist scum not welcome here'. Organisers had pre-emptively smeared them as 'far-right fascist provocateurs', erasing Jewish identity from the very event Jews created.

Unite's original march announcement failed to mention Jews or antisemitism at all, sparking the breakaway Jewish commemoration.

One protester told a Jewish marcher: 'If I touched you, you wouldn't be alive' — as the Green Party simultaneously voted that 'Zionism is racism'.

Jeremy Corbyn addressed the main rally, where placards read 'Stop Trump, Stop Farage' — with no acknowledgement that Jews had been driven off Cable Street.
