An antisemitism advocate abused online and called an 'ugly Zionist' has accused the police of double standards and victim blaming after officers said she had made herself 'a target' by posting about Gaza.

Heidi Bachram, from Brighton, East Sussex, was bombarded with offensive terms, including 'scumbag' and 'genocidal Zionist pig' from an X account that has since been suspended.

She claimed that Sussex Police seemed reluctant to investigate who was behind the racist posts and advised her to simply stop posting about 'politically sensitive subjects'.

But Ms Bachram said this was in stark contrast to a recent post written by a far-Right troll - that the force had proactively alerted her to and asked her to report.

She was contacted by police after she shared an image of a hostage memorial in Brighton that had been smeared with faeces.
