Disturbing graffiti was found spray painted on a bus stop in the Amhurst Park area in Stamford Hill, London; one of the most Jewish populated neighborhoods in the UK.
Shomrim Stamford Hill reported the graffiti, with photos posted to it’s twitter account on Tuesday.
Using what appeared to be at least two different pens, vandals scrawled the words “Too many Yids” and other profanities, as well as drawing a sinister looking face. Another message, which appears to have read “too many Jews in this country”, had been scribbled out. It appears as if someone else had come along and replaced the covered word “Jews” with “Racists”.
The Campaign Against Anti-Semitism reports the images drawn include a clenched fist and another specimen of what appears to be the logo of ‘National Action’, a proscribed terrorist organisation. The face was described as a ghoulish figure which bears a mustache that could be likened to that of Adolf Hitler.
According to a spokesperson for the Metropolitan Police: “Police in Hackney were informed via social media @MetCC [Met Police twitter account] of antisemitic graffiti on a bus stop in Amhurst Park, N16 at 18:26hrs on Tuesday, 22 August.
“The local policing team are working to capture the images and remove the graffiti in partnership with the local authority.”
Rabbi Herschel Gluck, president of Stamford Hill Shomrim, said: “It is shocking to see this obscene graffiti, especially in a neighbourhood where a large number of people and their close relatives have suffered during the Holocaust.
“I trust that all people of goodwill will join me in condemning this unreservedly.”
