Two Israeli survivors of the October 7 Hamas terror attack say have criticised border staff for how they were treated at Manchester Airport.
The brothers, who had been at the Nova Music Festival, arrived in the UK to talk about what they had witnessed as they provided help to the wounded.
At least 364 people were killed at the event, and 40 people were taken hostage.
But footage shows Border Force officers speaking ‘aggressively’ to the two men.
One says: ‘Knock the attitude off. We’ve made the decision that you’re coming in, so just let us do the checks we need to do, and keep quiet.
‘Look at me. Are you clear with that? Good. We’re the bosses not you.’
Marc Levy, the chief executive of the Jewish representative Council of Greater Manchester & Region, said the two men ‘do not appear to have been argumentative’.
He said the border officers’ tone was being ‘unnecessary and demeaning’.
In a letter to Manchester Airport Group, Mr Levy wrote: ‘We unequivocally condemn the fact that Israeli nationals were detained and subjected to abuse by a Border Police Officer.
‘The only reason for their detention and interrogation was because they are Israeli.’
Mr Levy said instead of fleeing the festival, the two brothers helped to provide medical aid to the wounded.
Home Secretary James Cleverly said the incident is being investigated.
He wrote on X: ‘We do not tolerate antisemitism or any form of discrimination.
‘The incident will be handed in line with our disciplinary procedures.’
The Home Office have been contacted for comment.
