A group of young Jewish girls were on their way to a rehearsal on Monday evening when ‘around a dozen glass bottles and plates’ were allegedly thrown at them by a man on a balcony at Woodberry Down Estate.

The girl was badly injured and rushed to Royal London Hospital by Hatzola Ambulance volunteers.

‘The sheer volume of glass scattered across the area resembles the aftermath of a riot.

‘The force and distance of the thrown glass bottles reveal the deliberate and violent nature of this act.

‘These young children were targeted simply for their visibly Jewish identity.’

That “Shomrim” thing is disturbing. Why are religious fascists allowed to openly police the streets?

The fact thay the local Jewish population feels under attack and need to organize to defend it-self is okay? It's only a problem when Jews strike back?

I think you suffer from a case of being a nazi.

"Organized neighborhood watches" don't wear gear deliberately designed to look like real police, and if they do, they deserve to be broken up.

If course, so do the actual cops.

It is known that writing "Shomrim" on your vest is how you pretend to be a policeman. Best costume ever.

You can pretend to be a moron all you want, I don't believe that you believe they don't know what they're doing.

It sounds like you were never a minority in society. If they were doing whatever you fear them doing, there would have been complaints and news about it.

So sources, or you are delusional.
