Anti-Semitic hate speech is investigated at four mosques around Britain after footage of preachers calling for Jews to be killed and for Israel to be destroyed emerges

Three police forces are investigating suspected antisemitic hate speech at four separate mosques around Britain, it was reported last night.

Footage of preachers calling for Jews to be slaughtered and Israel to be destroyed has been handed to detectives at West Midlands Police, Scotland Yard and Northamptonshire Police by reporters from TalkTV.

The broadcaster reported that a preacher at the Redbridge Islamic Centre in Ilford, east London, asked his congregation in Arabic to join him in cursing the Jews and children of Israel.

A recording, which Talk claims was translated twice independently, shows the preacher saying: 'Oh, Allah, curse the Jews and the children of Israel. Oh Allah, curse the infidels… 'Oh Allah, break their words. Shake their feet. Disperse and tear apart their community and ruin their houses and destroy their homes.'

And more footage from mosques in Birmingham and Northampton show speakers calling for God to 'heed our hearts regarding the usurping Jews and in every enemy of you and the Muslims.'

One preacher adds: 'Oh God, limit their number. Kill them indiscriminately and do not leave any of them alive. Oh God, our Lord. Disperse them. Weaken their strength, shake the ground beneath their feet and freeze the blood in their veins. Make them captive to the Muslims.'

A Metropolitan Police spokesman said its officers continued to make a number of enquiries after being made aware of the video but there had been no arrests.

West Midland and Northamptonshire police forces confirmed officers were assessing the contents of a number of videos to determine whether a criminal offence had been committed.

Jewish groups have called for prosecutions for any speakers found to have been preaching antisemitic hate.

Steven Silverman, from the Campaign Against Antisemitism said: 'There is no difference between the rhetoric in the Hamas charter and the rhetoric that is on display in these videos.

'They are utterly hateful. They are violent and they are a threat, both to Jews and non-Jews in this country.

'There is a real risk of more than just one person being encouraged by this rhetoric to go out and take action on the streets, and we've seen how bad that can be in the past.'
