'Shame Hitler didn't kill you:' Hackney Man Charged for Threats to Kill Jews on London Bus

The Jerusalem Post reports on another deeply disturbing antisemitic incident, this time involving explicit threats of violence against Jewish children on a public bus in London. The charging of James Agius for religiously aggravated harassment and using threatening words highlights the persistent nature of hate crimes targeting the Jewish community.

The chilling quotes attributed to the suspect, including "Shame Hitler didn't kill you" and "You should all go in the gas chambers," underscore the virulent antisemitism fueling these attacks. The swift intervention by members of the public and Shomrim volunteers, who helped detain the man, demonstrates a community response to such threats.

Shame Hitler didn’t kill you. You should all go in the gas chambers.

This incident, occurring shortly after a stabbing in Golders Green, reinforces the Post's ongoing mission to document and condemn acts of antisemitism. The newspaper provides a crucial platform for the diaspora community to understand the threats they face and the actions being taken, or needing to be taken, to ensure their safety and security.

The Met takes incidents of this nature incredibly seriously. The incident is being treated as an antisemitic hate crime and our enquiries continue.
