Pro-Israel activists in northwest England called for legal action against a young man filmed chanting about “putting Zios in the ground” at a London rally on Sunday.
The man was filmed saying: “A chant that we’ve been workshopping in Oxford: ‘Gaza, Gaza, make us proud, put the Zios in the ground.’”
“Zios” is shorthand for Zionists, a slur often used to target Jews broadly.
He recited the chant while wearing a keffiyeh and surrounded by anti-Israel protesters, prompting others to repeat the slogan.
The man identifies himself in the video as Samuel Williams, a philosophy, politics and economics student at Balliol College, Oxford. He also said his family is “from Bavaria, the home of Nazi [Germany].”
