Four men have been bailed after a convoy of cars draped in Palestinian flags were seen with passengers yelling "f*** the Jews' through north London last weekend.

A video shared on social media captured the cars travelling along the Hampstead area of Finchley Road on Sunday (May 16), with one man yelling through a loudspeaker.

In the clip, the man can be heard saying 'f*** the Jews, f*** the movement, f*** all of them."

He went on to say, in a road with one of the largest Jewish community centres - JW3 - : f*** their mothers, f*** their daughters and show your support for Palestine'.

The man can also clearly be heard saying 'rape their daughters, we have to send a message'.

They were later also seen in other parts of north London, including St John’s Wood.

Metropolitan Police arrested the men on suspicion of racially aggravated public disorder on the same day – and while held in custody they were additionally arrested in connection with a similar incident in the Broughton Park area of Salford, Manchester earlier that day.

The force says the men have since been released on bail, pending further enquiries in relation to both incidents.

Superintendent Jo Edwards, in charge of the policing operation, previously said: "This behaviour was utterly shocking and will not be tolerated.”

The incident comes after thousands of Pro-Palestinian protesters marched through London on Saturday to the gates of the Israeli embassy, while protests took place in other cities across the UK and Ireland,

Thousands of Palestinians have been forced to flee their homes after a week of sustained conflict.

Since Monday last week, Palestinian militant group Hamas has fired hundreds of rockets into Israel, whose military responded with air strikes into Gaza.

The fighting began after weeks of rising Israeli-Palestinian tension in occupied East Jerusalem that culminated in clashes at a holy site revered by both Muslims and Jews. Hamas, which controls Gaza, began firing rockets after warning Israel to withdraw from the site, triggering retaliatory air strikes.

Housing Secretary Rt Hon Robert Jenrick took his thoughts on Twitter and said: “This, on the streets of London is deeply disturbing. Vile, criminal hatred like this must not be tolerated.”

He added: "Whatever your view of the conflict in Israel and Gaza, there’s no justification for inciting anti-Jewish or Muslim hatred.

"Some of the language used on marches this weekend and in posts on social media is intimidating, hateful and racist. It must stop, and be addressed if not."

Many other politicians and higher figures also voiced their concerns over the incident.
