WEST Ham star Manor Solomon has been branded a “baby killer” by pro-Palestine activists for serving with the IDF.
Thugs urged the club to “kick out” the Israeli in a campaign backed by local councillors.
Masked, hooded activists recorded a video outside the Championship club’s London Stadium in the east of the capital threatening the winger.
In a disguised robotic voice, one says: “We do not agree with the signing of Manor Solomon. We’ll continue to raise our voices until he is out of the club.”
It comes after some Irons fans chanted “Manor Solomon’s on my mind/And he hates Palestine” at the August 16 match at Burnley.
He had joined the club — who later urged the fans to stop — only days before.
The recent abuse against him was bolstered by the Tower Hamlets Palestine Solidarity Network, created and run by councillor Faysal Ahmed.
Sharing an image from the video, it wrote: “Activists hammer home the message: Kick out baby killer Manor Solomon from West Ham United.”
At least seven other Tower Hamlets councillors are members of the group’s Facebook page.
Solomon, 27, was enlisted for mandatory military service in the IDF — the Israel Defense Forces — in December 2017.
It was seven years before the Gaza attacks launched after Hamas slaughtered at least 1,195 Israelis on October 7, 2023.
Alex Hearn, of Labour Against Antisemitism, said: “Solomon’s done nothing except be an Israeli footballer. Hounding a player out of his job because of where he comes from is not activism, it’s bigotry. No elected councillor should be anywhere near it.”
