Pro-Palestinian Protester loses it in Germany | WATCH
When legal wit meets political protest, even 280 characters can ignite a firestorm.
Twitter
On July 10, 2025, Simon Myerson KC, a prominent British barrister and chair of the Leeds Jewish Representative Council, posted a tweet that ignited debate online. The tweet, shared from his account @SCynic1, commented on an incident involving an Irish woman in Germany who claimed to be Palestinian and acted disruptively toward a police officer.
Myerson, a King’s Counsel since 2003, is known for his legal work in criminal and civil cases, including defamation and fraud, and his involvement in Jewish community leadership
Supporters of Myerson argue that his tweet highlights the perceived absurdity of some activist tactics, pointing to the patience of the German police officer as a contrast to the protester’s behavior.
