Anti-Jewish slogans, including "Khayber Khayber Ya Yehud, jaish Mohammad sauf ya’ud," which translates to a call for the beheading of Jews, were chanted by protesters in London on October 2nd, 2025, at approximately 1:45 PM UTC. The incident occurred amidst heightened security concerns following a morning attack on a synagogue in Manchester. The chants were documented and shared via X by user YossiBenYakar, who questioned the safety of Jewish people in Britain and criticized the Mayor for allowing the demonstration. This event follows the Metropolitan Police's announcement of enhanced security measures for London's Jewish communities, made around 12:20 PM UTC today, in response to the Manchester synagogue attack. Earlier on October 2nd, 2025, an attack involving a car ramming and stabbing occurred at the Heaton Park Hebrew Congregation Synagogue in Manchester on Yom Kippur. Perpetrators were reportedly shot and killed at the scene. Security staff at the synagogue are credited with intervening to protect individuals during the incident, according to Greater Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham. The Embassy of Israel in the United Kingdom condemned the act as "abhorrent and deeply distressing."
