Trend of antisemitic flyers, statements 

“We are witnessing a troubling trend of redlines being repeatedly crossed. This is not just another wave that will pass if we remain passive,” executive director Isaac Zarfati stated on the incident reporting to the GBN.

“We must take those threats and statements seriously because one day they will turn into actions, and decisive steps are needed to combat this alarming phenomenon.” Zarfati said.

A similar incident occurred close by before Yom Kippur with statements like “F*** the Jew” and “Heil Hitler” as well as the swastika symbol being raked into bunkers (sand dunes) on the golf course of the Hendon Golf Club, GBN reported.

Mayor of London Sadiq Khan commented on the golf course incident, stating that he was “sickened by the rise in antisemitism in our city. Hate crime is a criminal offense and has no place in London.” The channels quoted the mayor.

The number of antisemitic hate crimes in London has more than doubled in the space of a year, according to figures put out by the London Metropolitan Police.
