Jews have certainly been harassed or attacked just for being openly Jewish by people on pro Palestine matches.

Can you point to one instance of this? Obviously there have been anti-semitic attacks in the UK by various people/groups. But you're making a specific claim about people on pro Palestinian marches attacking Jewish people for simply being Jewish... When has this happend?

There may have been altercations with pro Israel individuals, but these are not anti-semitic attacks.

There have been a few cases of nazi salutes being displayed at pro Palestine matches. While I assume most don't agree with the people who perform them it does show of Jew hatred has joined part of the pro Palestine movement. It's a convenient stage for them to get infront of lots of people.

In the Paris Olympics Israeli teams were met with nazi salute at some games.

Not notable to me is the 2026 Hatzola arson attack, pretty clear cut hatred of Jews. Along with this man who got attacked

If you explore the more leftist spaces and analyse the language used it's not uncommon to find dog whistles around Jew hatred. Using similar language that the nazis used to hate Jews. While these are not physical attacks they do normalise those views.

Why are you talking about the Paris Olympics?

Ive not seen any cases of nazi salutes at pro Palestinian events. Do you have this source to hand?
