A group of pro-Palestinian "activists" faced backlash from local residents in the Woodseats neighborhood of Sheffield while conducting a door-to-door campaign to promote a boycott of Israeli products, leading to accusations of "Jew hunting" and historical parallels to the Holocaust.
The incident, which occurred around February 15-16, involved activists from the Sheffield Apartheid-Free Zone campaign, part of the broader Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement against Israel. They were canvassing homes, encouraging residents to sign pledges not to purchase Israeli goods and reportedly noting addresses to track participation or avoid repeat visits.
Video footage shared on social media captured residents confronting the group, with shouts including "JEW HUNT! JEW HUNT! JEWS REGISTER HERE!" and some holding signs reading "No Tolerance for Jew Hatred."
The activists, derisively referred to as "Stormpoopers" by critics in online posts, left the area after approximately 15 minutes amid the opposition.
