An 80-year-old Holocaust survivor and her rabbi son were punched in their heads on a bus in north London on Tuesday.
According to the Shomrim community organization, the female perpetrator yelled: “I hate you Jews. It’s not your place. You took our money.”
The incident occurred on Tuesday afternoon on a bus from Stoke Newington to Stamford Hill.
A statement from the Campaign Against Antisemitism (CAA) said that during the “unprovoked attack,” the woman threw the rabbi’s hat to the floor, adding that the Holocaust survivor was left traumatized.

“Passengers pleaded with the bus driver to stop, as the incident took place as they were driving by a police station, but he allegedly refused,” a CAA spokesperson stated.
“This is yet another unprovoked act of violence against members of the Jewish community going about their day.”
“Transport for London must explain why the bus driver took no action, allowing the abuse to go on despite the violence and the protests of other passengers, and the assailant must quickly be identified and prosecuted to the full extent of the law.”

Passengers pleaded with the bus driver to stop In such situations the driver should have been physically assaulted until the bus stop, as well as the doors of the bus should have been opened with emergency buttons, which no-doubt also would have forced the driver to halt the bus immediately.
Meanwhile this driver must be fired from his job immediately.
Please YWN follow this story & please post when these Nazis will get their punishments
147: Probably the other passengers were too much in shock. I found it still amazing that British Goyim would speak up for Jewish people.
