London’s Metropolitan Police Service (MPS) is investigating reports that marchers at Saturday’s Pride parade verbally abused Jewish attendees they identified as Zionists — an incident that underscores the growing scale of Jewish alienation on the progressive left.

As seen in multiple videos that circulated online over the weekend, marchers pelted gay Jews with invective, shouting “F—k you, Jew!” and “You kill gay children!” Others asked, “How many kids did you kill?” or screamed “Free Palestine” at them. Marchers elsewhere in the parade hoisted signs proclaiming “WE STAND TOGETHER.”

On Sunday, the MPS told reporters it is “aware of videos circulating online that show antisemitic verbal abuse directed towards attendees” and that it “continues to work hard to tackle hate crimes of all types.”

The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) denounced the abuse on Monday in a blistering statement, calling it “beyond unacceptable” and adding: “Pride supposedly stands for inclusion, yet Jews are once again being targeted in plain sight.”

Anti-Israel activists in the LGBTQ+ community have subjected Zionist Jews to extreme levels of discrimination, including expulsion from major progressive groups and even physical assault, as The Algemeiner previously reported in 2025 upon the release of “Unsafe Spaces: Addressing Antisemitism Against LGBTQ+ Jews and Ensuring Pride Safety.”

Authored by A Wider Bridge, a nonprofit founded to promote LGBTQ+ equality in Israel and North America, the report said that from online forums to the streets, the maltreatment and “erasure” of Jewish queer identity is severe, with 82 percent of LGBTQ+ Jews reporting being expelled from social media channels or harassed on them.

Earlier this year, the NYC Dyke March, a public demonstration held by members of the lesbian community in New York City, banned self-proclaimed “Zionists” from its annual event, citing a desire to stand against what it called a “genocide” occurring in Gaza. The organization had come under scrutiny after settling on “genocide” as the theme of its 2024 event, issuing a statement decrying “ethnic cleansing, violence, and dehumanization” that compared the war in Gaza to mass killings in Ethiopia, Myanmar, and Sudan.

During the 2024 event, after the organizers formally barred “Zionists” from participating, Jews were attacked and heckled after being seen wearing the Star of David on their clothing. That same year, an LGBTQ-friendly bar in the New York borough of Brooklyn refused to hold a screening party for the Eurovision song contest due to the participation of an Israeli contestant.

The Wider Bridge report added that a forced, mass exile is taking place in response to this new reality: 43 percent of queer Jews say they are leaving online forums, 40 percent abstain from participating in LGBTQ+ social events, and 30 percent said their decision was driven by a precipitous deterioration in how they are treated. The only conclusion to draw, the report said, is that the Pride movement is “no longer universally safe or inclusive.”

“What we have found since Oct. 7 and what the report points to is that the explosion of antisemitism that the whole Jewish community has experienced has in some ways grown even more exponentially in the LGBTQ community,” Rabbi Denise Eger, interim executive director of A Wider Bridge and former president of the Central Conference of American Rabbis, told The Algemeiner in an interview on the report. “What we’re seeing around now as Pride marches and organizations put on their celebrations is institutional discrimination and outright boycotts.”
