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.’
Maybe your results are regional. I found these images on the first page of Google images. Long sleeves, closed collars, head coverings, skirts below the knee, heavy stockings, flat shoes… it’s pretty distinctive.
I saw some of those too. From what I read, the headscarves are for married women. Unlikely for a group of teenage girls. Otherwise, if I saw that group of girls on the street, they wouldn’t really stand out to me at all.
Don’t worry about it, not everybody picks up on cultural dress and symbols that are unfamiliar to them. I’ve lived in areas with a lot of orthodox Jews, and so - like anyone near where these girls were - to me it’s obvious.
