Revealed: Man filmed in Al Jazeera ‘intimidation’ mob is Met police officer

.

ER Editor: A couple of days ago we reported on the arson attack against four Jewish charity ambulances in the Golders Green area of London that took place in the wee hours of the morning. Iran got the blame instantly in certain media quarters with apparently zero justification. It was revelatory to find that the Jews in this area have not only their only ambulance service but also their own police force, facts which didn’t go down too well, understandably, with some X users. And it’s clear public money is being used. We’re still calling a false flag on this. See —

London: Arson attack on Jewish ambulances investigated by counter-terror police

Now an interesting detail has just emerged. False flag? In a normal world, a serving police officer wouldn’t go on camera and do this. Oh, and this man allegedly runs a reputation management firm. The ironies, jokes and improbabilities abound. His name is of Ashkenazi origin. We’re just surprised at the serious journalists who don’t see we’re getting played.

Turns out the cowardly racist Police [Special] Constable David Soffer exposed by @declassifiedUK has now deleted his connection to the Met from his LinkedIn.

Good for a laugh —

🚨BREAKING: David Soffer has been promoted to Assistant Commissioner in the Met Police, sources close to the ground tell me.

I’m also hearing he’ll be appointed Government “Antisemitism Tsar.” https://t.co/K06m4XcAKo

This user has a point —

This is the footage of that serving Metropolitan Police officer, Constable David Soffer, calling an Al Jazeera reporter a “dog and a donkey.”

Just for a second, imagine if a Muslim police officer had called a Jewish reporter a “dog and a donkey.” pic.twitter.com/N9gYnVTr6e

Footage shows Soffer directly approaching one of the Al Jazeera journalists, who is Palestinian, calling him a “dog” and a “donkey” in Arabic.

“Go back to Qatar,” he is heard saying. “Get out of here, you donkey.”

After Declassified revealed Soffer’s involvement, a spokesperson for the Metropolitan Police said: “We are aware that an off duty serving Met officer was involved in the altercation. The matter has been referred to the Department of Professional Standards for assessment.”

He now faces the possibility of disciplinary action – and has already deleted the police role from his LinkedIn account.

And police have said they will “review” the footage to identify whether any offences were committed by anyone involved in the incident.

The incident happened in the Golders Green area of London on Monday, as Al Jazeera tried to report on the arson attack on Jewish charity ambulances.

Police are treating the arson attack as an antisemitic hate crime, with CCTV showing people setting the vehicles on fire and running away.

Two British men were arrested on Wednesday and later released on bail while an investigation continues.

Later, footage of a group of men surrounding and intimidating an Al Jazeera film crew near the scene sparked outrage on social media.

The Met Police spokesperson said: “We’re aware of the footage showing the verbal altercation between local residents and journalists.

“Freedom of the press is important and journalists must be able to do their job without being subject to intimidation or harassment.

“Officers did intervene but we recognise that there was an extended period where the journalists were put in a difficult situation which led them to leave the area. Officers on duty in the area have been asked to be alert to any similar altercations in the coming days.”

David Soffer – who also runs a reputation management firm (ER: don’t laugh!) according to records filed at Companies House – is seen making his way to the centre of the mob and insulting the cameraman.

A prolific user of X/Twitter, Soffer has publicly expressed his support for Israel.

In 2024, the far-right activist Tommy Robinson posted an image on Twitter saying “Fuck Palestine”, adding: “The shithole is full of inbred Islamist parasites and terrorists.”

Soffer responded, saying that Robinson “is telling the truth” and that Israel will “justly finish” the war in Gaza.
