Moment Jewish man told ‘your religion is killing Muslims’ on London Underground

This is the moment a Jewish man was told his religion was ‘killing Muslims’ while on the London Underground.

The alleged antisemitic abuse happened on the Northern Line between Chalk Farm and Belsize Park on Thursday.

Footage shared by Campaign Against Antisemitism appears to show the man goading the Jewish passenger, who is wearing a skullcap, by blowing smoke from his vape towards him.

The Jewish man, who is recoring the interaction, asks why the passenger is staring at him after he moves down from the empty carriage to sit across from him.

He asks him: ‘Have you got a problem?

‘Why have you got a problem? Why are you looking at me?’

The passenger responds: ‘Your religion kills Muslims, that’s why.’

The shocked Jewish man responds: ‘What?’

The man, confirming he is Muslim, replied: ‘You kill Muslims.’

The man begin to have an argument after the Jewish man accuses him of being of being inconsiderate for vaping on the London Underground.

The Muslim man responds: ‘I don’t give a s***.’

The Jewish man said: ‘I haven’t done anything to you, you’ve got an issue with me, I’ve got no problem with you.’

Following the incident, British Transport Police confirmed they were investigating the incident, posting on social media: ‘Good evening. I personally spoke to the victim of this yesterday and completed a crime report for the incident. 

‘If anyone has any information or witnessed this please contact us on 0800405040 or text 61016 quoting reference 677 28/02/2024.’

In a post on social media, the Campaign Against Antisemitism said: ‘We have been made aware that last night on the London Underground, an identifiably Jewish man noticed a fellow passenger staring aggressively at him. 

‘We believe it is possible that the passenger in question may be a minor, so we have blurred his face. 

‘He is described as a Middle Eastern male with a black ponytail between the ages of sixteen to twenty years old.’
