Activist Sean Naughton stood at Speakers’ Corner in the northeast corner of Hyde Park in London Sunday and declaimed about Jews.

“Our common enemy are the Jews,” he declared. “Now, what’s the evidence? What’s the empirical evidence for the most part of the Jew problem? We call it the Jewish question or the Jewish problem. I would say we all know as we look at the genocide in Gaza. The Jews seem to think that they have an exemption from what we call the universal moral order.”

“The Jewish question” or “the Jewish problem” is the language Nazis used to describe what they considered the problem of the Jews, leading to the Wannsee Conference, the 1942 gathering of high-ranking SS officials in a Berlin suburb called Wannsee to formulate “The Final Solution to the Jewish Question.”

Speakers’ Corner is a historic location traditionally used for public speeches, disputes and discussions. In the video footage, the crowd appears amenable to Naughton’s words.

London, like major cities across the globe, has seen a sharp spike in antisemitism, especially anti-Jewish violence, since the Hamas attack on Israel on Oct. 7, 2023.

A frightening wave of arson attacks struck London’s Jewish community this past year, including one in which four ambulances belonging to the Jewish volunteer ambulance group Hatzola were torched. The Finchley Reform Synagogue, the Kenton United Synagogue, and a previously Jewish-owned business were firebombed or otherwise vandalized within a two-week period.
