The Jewish ambassador, Tzipi Hotovely, has said that London feels less safe than Israel after 'jihad ideology' exploded on the capital's streets during protests.
The ambassador told the Daily Telegraph that the Jewish community felt fear due to 'jihad ideology' witnessed during pro-Palestinian protests in the capital city over the past month.
She said that whilst we live in a democracy, freedom of speech should have been limited to prevent people spouting hatred.
She told the outlet: 'Since those demonstrations started, I keep getting WhatsApp messages from friends in Israel. They ask me, do you feel safe there? Do Jews feel safe?

On the 28 October, more than 500,000 demonstrators shut down central London to demand for a ceasefire in Gaza.
