Following a heated, conflicting protests yesterday in Britain’s coastal town of Brighton, a video has emerged showing evidence that anti-Israel campaigners have within their ranks, blatant anti-Semites.

The video, recorded by Simon Cobb of the Sussex Friends of Israel group, shows two men interviewing a Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) campaigner who says that he doesn’t not believe in the two-state solution (i.e. wants the destruction of the State of Israel) and who falsely claims that Palestinians employed by Israeli companies are paid at a lesser rate than those who are not.

But the crucial part of the video [1 minute 25 seconds] comes when Cobb and his fellow interviewer ask the man why he is boycotting Ecostream in Brighton, a shop which is Jewish and Israeli-owned, and if the man would boycott a Muslim, or Arab-Israeli owned shop.

Simon Cobb of the Sussex Friends of Israel, said: “A BDS supporter admits he would only boycott a shop owned by Israeli Jews and not by Israeli Muslims. How is this allowed on the streets of Brighton? Civil and respectful demonstration I will defend to the end of my days, but when freedom of speech becomes words of racial or religious hate, enough is enough.”

WATCH: 

Interviewer 1: “If it was a Muslim-owned Israeli shop, would you be boycotting it?”

BDS campaigner: “No, I wouldn’t.”

Interviewer 1: “Well then it’s based on religion, isn’t it? You just said it if was a Muslim-owned Israeli shop you wouldn’t boycott it.”

BDS campaigner: “No, no, no, no… you go to school for this”(?)

Interviewer 2: “But you just said it yourself.”
