"I hope the police can now put out an appeal for the violent antisemite who did this now we have video evidence. I wish I knew who the defender of the memorial was so I could thank him," she wrote in a post to X.Two members of the public can then be seen approaching the man as he destroys the memorial - one of whom is Mr Jackson.
