>He claims to have been acting as an independent spectator, watching the protest for illegal behaviour by participants and to observe how police responded to challenges on the ground.
>However, the Metropolitan Police say he had allegedly 'gone beyond observing to provoking' pro-Palestinian supporters and was arrested on suspicion of violating conditions that had been put in place to keep opposing protest groups apart.In a statement, police said the man was not arrested for wearing the necklace, but that he had allegedly 'continuously approached the area' allocated to the pro-Palestinian protestors on the evening, which in turn provoked a reaction.
>Footage of the police interview shows the detective asking the man what necklace he was wearing, later adding that officers in their statements believed that the Star of David being on show was 'antagonising' the situation further.Over the course of an hour, the man is alleged to have continuously approached the area allocated to IJAN, getting very close to protesters to film them and in doing so provoking a reaction.
So he was harrassing and filming and walking toward pro-palestine protesters when explicitly told jews have to be in one area for safety. He was probably holding up his jewish star so mock the pro-Palestine side, flaunting it at them daring them to attack him.
