The Strange Case of Rupert Nathan and Rabbi Gabriel Kanter-Webber

Back in November 2024 something rather hilarious but also instructive happened in Britain when a jewish accountant – who is apparently something of your typical noodle-armed frothing-at-the-mouth Zionist loony – decided to get… well… very aggressively jewish and start shrieking as well as name calling at another jew of the ‘Progressive anti-Zionist’ variety named Rabbi Gabriel Kanter-Webber.

Sabrina Miller at the ‘Daily Mail’ wrote with faux journalistic outrage at the time how:

‘A father was arrested in front of his young child and locked up for more than 12 hours after he called another Jewish man a 'kapo' in a private Facebook post.

Rupert Nathan, 63, is terrified his career may now be 'destroyed' after police put his case to the Crown Prosecution Service to assess whether he should be charged with 'malicious communications'.’ (1)

But why was Rupert Nathan arrested by the British Police?

Well Miller continues by informing us that:

‘Mr Nathan made a series of insulting Facebook comments on a close friend's post in which he described Rabbi Gabriel Kanter-Webber as a 'creep', a 'fake Rabbi' and a 'kapo boy'.

During Nazi Germany, a 'Kapo' was the name given to Jewish people who were made to supervise other Jewish people in concentration and extermination camps and is used now by Jewish people to call others of the faith a traitor.

While Mr Nathan admits his remarks may have caused offence he disputes that he said anything illegal or anti-Semitic.

Rabbi Kanter-Webber - who is the Rabbi at Brighton and Hove Progressive synagogue - reported Nathan's comments to the police and his professional body the Chartered Institute of Securities & Investment [CISI].

On July 18, 2024, the CISI decided not to take any action, but just over a month later the police showed up at Mr Nathan's front door to arrest him.’ (2)

Now Nathan’s comments to Kanter-Webber while ridiculous and oh-so-typically-jewish histrionics are the type of insults that anyone who has been around the jewish question for any length of time is well-aware of and rather used to albeit ‘kapo’ is usually ‘Nazi’ and ‘fake Rabbi’ is usually ‘Bot/Troll’ (traditionally ‘Russian’ but now ‘Qatari’) instead and the decision to not take any action against Nathan by both the CISI and the Crown Prosecution Service is quite frankly unsurprising. (3)

However, what is interesting is the subsequent and rather bizarre claims by Nathan that Britain is ‘increasingly anti-Semitic’ because – in effect – he was arrested for being a dickhead using his own to another jew on the implication that it was a ‘hate crime’ and possibly an ‘anti-Semitic hate crime’.

We read in the ‘Jewish News Syndicate’ that:

‘Rupert Nathan, 63, was arrested in London in August upon arriving home for breakfast with his 11-year-old daughter. Two police officers approached him and said they wanted to question him about some things he had written online.

“I immediately knew what it was all about,” Nathan told JNS on Monday from his London home. Assuming it was “no big deal,” he asked the officers if they could schedule a later appointment in the afternoon.

“My daughter was with me and her mother had arranged to pick her up that afternoon,” he explained. But the officers insisted.

“My daughter was beside herself … she’s very protective of me, given my age. [But] that didn’t matter to them,” Nathan recalled.

He was taken into custody for almost 12 hours.

“I was fingerprinted, DNA swabbed, photographed. They treated me like a common criminal,” he told JNS.

During his incarceration, no investigators came to question him. It was only around the tenth or eleventh hour that a lawyer came to visit him to explain the situation.

The duty solicitor told him that he was under investigation for a “malicious communications” crime. The arrest, the solicitor believed, was unnecessary given the nature of the alleged crime, but the police wanted to seize and gain access to his mobile phone to find out if he indeed made the alleged remarks.

The phone, Nathan noted, was taken without his consent and was still in police possession.’ (4)

As well as:

‘“Like a number of friends, I have to question whether there is a future for Jews in Britain. Australia, where I [originally] come from, unfortunately, seems to be in thrall to a lot of this similar activism. I really don’t know where it is safe,” he added.’ (5)

Now in typically jewish fashion Nathan inverts what actually happened and claimed that he was ‘discriminated against because he was jewish’ by the police when in fact he was arrested, because he was being abusive towards another jew online and the other jew invoked jewish privilege and complained to the police who arrested him as a potential ‘anti-Semite’ and who then promptly dropped the case as soon as they realised it was actually one member of the tribe abusing another.

The implication is that had this been a non-jew saying these words to Kanter-Webber then the CISI and/or CPS might have not decided to drop it and decided to pursue it instead.

Nathan doesn’t want you to realise that he’s being a deceptive little troglodyte with his comments but that’s exactly what he is doing and instead when we put the information back in its proper context, we can immediately see that they suggest the opposite of what Nathan is claiming and also shows his claims of ‘jewish fear’ and ‘desire to leave Britain’ are simply self-serving pro-Israel and pro-jewish propaganda.
