A group of young Jewish girls were on their way to a rehearsal on Monday evening when ‘around a dozen glass bottles and plates’ were allegedly thrown at them by a man on a balcony at Woodberry Down Estate.

The girl was badly injured and rushed to Royal London Hospital by Hatzola Ambulance volunteers.

‘The sheer volume of glass scattered across the area resembles the aftermath of a riot.

‘The force and distance of the thrown glass bottles reveal the deliberate and violent nature of this act.

‘These young children were targeted simply for their visibly Jewish identity.’

‘These young children were targeted simply for their visibly Jewish identity.’

Maybe if they were in school uniforms? I'm not sure how else they could be so quickly identified from a balcony while walking down the street.

But is the story really that some guy posted up on his balcony waiting for someone he thought was Jewish to throw a bunch of stuff at them? Like, the person who threw stuff would have had seconds from seeing them to throwing if that's what happened.

It just doesn't make any logical sense, especially since it acts like the balcony was really high up, but if they were just walking by it's probably not as easy to hit someone intentionally in the like 2 seconds it takes them to walk by.

There's just a huge amount of holes in this story.

There's also this:

The girl was badly injured and rushed to Royal London Hospital by Hatzola Ambulance volunteers.

Neighbourhood watch group Shomrim, which protects the Jewish population in Stamford Hill, said the attack had ‘deeply shocked the community’.

There was no actual authorities at the scene until after the far right orthodox "volunteer police" who routinely harras anyone that isn't Orthodox (even if they still Jewish) and their own ambulance service who only serves people of their specific right wing conservative religion?

Like, we have the word of a bunch of far right religious extremists that a situation happened exactly as they said it...

Or they're making shit up to play victim.

But it makes sense why only a tabloid owned by the Daily Mail is reporting it.
