An Anglican pastor says he was left terrified after an angry mob chased him through the streets of Sydney on Monday.
Mark Leach — whose mother is a Jewish holocaust survivor — stood on the steps of a cathedral in his clerical collar, waving an Israeli flag for “two minutes” as a pro-Palestine crowd nearby chanted “kill the Jews”.
“I ran away because they chased me up Bathurst Street and on to George Street … I’ve not been that scared in a very, very long time, and that was on the streets of Sydney in broad daylight,” he told Neil Mitchell.
