Kingston shul targeted as anti-Semitic incidents surpass 130
A sign saying “child murderers” has been plastered on the doors of Kingston Synagogue.
Congregants arrived at the shul earlier this week to find the shocking message. the latest anti-Semitic incidents targeting British Jews since the start of Israel’s operation against Hamas.
The CST’s Mark Gardner said: “It sadly sums up what is going on right now.”
More than 130 incidents have been recorded by the Community security Trust in July – with around two-thirds linked to the conflict. They include around 10 incidents of violence.
