Influencer Slams Antisemitic Attack at London Kosher Bakery | WATCH
Moriel Lee Shviki shares footage and firsthand testimony of a violent incident at Reuben’s Bakery, where Jewish diners were assaulted in broad daylight.
An alarming antisemitic incident in the heart of London has sparked outrage after an Instagram influencer captured and shared footage of the attack on social media.
Moriel Lee Shviki is a Jewish content creator with over 10,000 followers (@realwithmoriel). She described how customers at Reuben’s Bakery, a well-known kosher café, were harassed and assaulted simply for dining at a Jewish establishment.
The incident, which took place on Monday, involved an unidentified woman who stormed the bakery in broad daylight and began aggressively targeting patrons. According to Shviki, the woman threw food on the ground and verbally abused two Jewish women seated outside before continuing to intimidate others.
“She didn’t do it because of Israel. She did it because they were Jewish,” Shviki said in an emotional video posted to her Instagram account. “This was not an attack based on land. It was an attack based on religion, because Jews are hated in the world.”
Witnesses, including Shviki herself, reported that the woman remained at the scene for some time before police arrived. During that period, she continued harassing customers, while many bystanders watched but did not intervene.
“A lot of people walked past and saw what was happening, but no one did anything,” Shviki added. “It wasn’t until an Israeli man stepped in to defend the girls that the woman turned on him and physically assaulted him too.”
The incident adds to growing concern among Jewish communities in Europe regarding rising antisemitism, both online and on the streets. Despite ongoing campaigns for tolerance and awareness, violent hate crimes and acts of intimidation remain frequent, and Jewish digital influencers became a strong media weapon, spreading the truth in the middle of the chaos.
“This happened in Central London, not in some faraway place,” Shviki noted. “If we’re not safe here, where are we?”
In a world that often pledges “never again,” antisemitism has not only persisted, it has evolved, spreading across digital platforms, university campuses, and city streets with alarming ease. What was once whispered in shadows now shouts through algorithms and protest slogans, often cloaked in the language of justice but rooted in age-old hatred. As Jewish communities across the globe continue to face threats, violence, and growing isolation, the responsibility to confront this resurgence does not belong to them alone.
It is a moral reckoning for all of society, a test of whether we are truly willing to protect the values of tolerance, truth, and humanity before history dares to repeat itself.
