North London witnessed more sick anti-Semitism last week after a brick was thrown through the window of Cockfosters & N Southgate Synagogue and an anti-Semitic sign was posted to the window of a Norwood shop nearby.
A member of staff at the shul on Old Farm Avenue in Southgate confirmed the reports, adding: “We’re just pleased no one was hurt.”
A CST spokesman confirmed that there had been other such incidents at synagogues in Muswell Hill, Kingston and Hove and noted that it was part of a spike in anti-Semitism since Israel’s military operation in Gaza.
Elsewhere, an anti-Semitic sign believed to read: ‘Death to Jews’ was posted to the exterior of the Norwood shop in Southgate (pictured).
The matter has since been handed over to police, who are reviewing CCTV images of the man involved.
Carol Levy, who manages the charity’s shops, said this was not the first shop to be targeted, with a second example of hate crime recorded at Norwood’s Edgware store as well.
