Organizers told protesters to come appearing to be "visibly Jewish," according to social-network posts encouraging demonstrators to show up.
Police in London on Sunday moved an anti-Israel protest rally away from the central synagogue where the demonstrators had gathered.
Dozens of protesters outside St. John’s Wood Synagogue were resituated while “their ‘protest’ continued around the corner. Once again, a red line has been crossed in Britain,” wrote the Campaign Against Antisemitism group in a statement about the incident, which reportedly involved Jewish and non-Jewish anti-Israel protesters.
Earlier on Sunday, the police issued a statement that “there is no legal mechanism to ban the protest from taking place; however, we have used Public Order Act conditions to prevent disorder and disruption. Anyone participating in the protest must not enter” an area directly outside the synagogue.
