Influencers get ‘slap on wrist’ for spraying Manchester Orthodox Jews with water guns

Their Instagram profile, which has since been made private, previously featured several videos targeting Orthodox Jewish men in airports and supermarkets.

A pair of influencers who drove through Manchester spraying Orthodox Jews with water guns for social media content received nothing more than a “slap on the wrist” from police.

Video footage shows Kamil Galanty, 26, and his 36-year-old accomplice who goes by “Mati” laughing as they drove through the Broughton Park area on August 3, spraying adults and children dressed in Orthodox clothing with their water pistols.

Galanty, a UK resident originally from Poland, posted the clips to Instagram accompanied by “Hava Nagila,” a traditional Jewish folk song.

Police arrested both men within 24 hours of the video going viral, seizing their vehicle and the water pistol used in the attacks. But the victims, including a rabbi who was targeted, told authorities they wanted no further action taken.

“Ultimately, we must be victim-led,” a Greater Manchester Police spokesman said. “The victims didn’t wish to support any form of prosecution or go to court. We cannot force them.”

Instead, the duo walked away with community resolution orders—punishment that carries no criminal record.

Shadow Home Secretary Chris Philp urged the police to reconsider the case, calling their actions cowardice that amounts to “public humiliation for profit.”

“Spraying members of the Jewish community with water pistols while jeering from the safety of a car is cowardice,” Philp told The Telegraph.

“It is public humiliation for profit, fuelling online hate, and encourages others to join in.”

The influencers operate multiple social media accounts under the group name KONSP1RA.

Their Instagram profile, which has since been made private, previously featured several videos targeting Orthodox Jewish men in airports and supermarkets.

In one clip, Galanty holds his phone near Jewish travelers while playing an Apple Pay sound effect, falsely claiming to have stolen their money.

“You are very rich, I just got £60 from you,” he tells a Jewish holidaymaker at a Polish airport in the footage.

After facing backlash, KONSP1RA edited their posts to include disclaimers reading: “This video was made purely for humorous purposes. It is just a joke and not hate speech in any way.”

The disturbing incident occurred against a backdrop of soaring antisemitic incidents across Britain.

Community Security Trust data shows 1,521 antisemitic incidents were recorded in the first half of 2025—the second-highest total ever for a six-month period, with more than 200 cases monthly.

“Jewish communities are being harassed, spat at, and attacked, and now filmed. This is not something Britain can turn a blind eye to,” says Philp.

“We cannot allow a Britain where Jewish families feel unsafe on their own streets simply because of their faith.”
