Adam Ziff, whose daughter is due to have her bat mitzvah, said recent events had changed how his family behaves in public.
“I’m not Israeli. I don’t have anything to do with the politics of Israel. You know, I am a British Jew. I’m not a Jewish Brit. I’m British first,” he told BBC London.
“And this now comes to our street, it comes to our door, it comes to our family.”
He said his children had become more aware of their surroundings in public, often questioning who was around them and how they were being perceived, and thinking more carefully about things like wearing their school uniform.
“That in itself is the problem,” Ziff added.
