A Kosher restaurant in London has been targeted as part of an antisemitic aggression against Jewish people, following Hamas terror acts in Israel.
The restaurant in Golders Green, north London was vandalised, with the windows smashed.
A nearby bridge was branded with the words ‘Free Palestine’.
Sadiq Khan posted online to blast the antisemitic aggression.
He said that there was no tolerance for hate in our city and that he remained in close contact with the Met Police and that whoever did this would face the full force of the law.
He continued that he would stand with Jewish Londoners, today and always.
The Campaign Against Antisemitism group posted online that they were receiving images of a kosher restaurant that was vandalised overnight in Golders Green.
“Violence against Israel is often used as a pretext for antisemitism in the UK. Jews must be able to live without fear.
“The law must be enforced. If you have information call the police. Those responsible must be prosecuted.”
Scotland Yard said it is not yet treating the incident as a hate crime.
In a statement, the force said: “Police are investigating an incident after a restaurant was damaged in #GoldersGreen #Barnet. We understand the concerns of the local community given current events – however, we have viewed CCTV and at this time the incident is not being treated as a hate crime.”
A spokesman said that police were called at approximately 06.10 hours on Monday, 9 October to reports of a burglary and damage caused to a restaurant in Golders Green Road, NW11.
It was said that a cash register had been robbed.
The spokesman said that officers had attended the scene and examined CCTV at the location. However, there have been no arrests or enquiries into the circumstances, and the crime was ongoing.
Golder’s Green has long been recognised as a home of London’s middle-class Jewish community.
It’s home to the biggest Jewish kosher hub in the United Kingdom.
Pro-Palestinian protesters took over Times Square, just a day after Hamas launched an attack on Israel.
A clash broke out between counter-protesters waving Israeli flags and pro-Palestine protestors.
The protest was attended by more than 1,000 pro-Palestine supporters, who chanted ‘Resistance is justified when people are occupied’.
Demonstrators paraded from Times Square to near both the Israeli consulate and the United Nations headquarters, where the Security Council was to assemble over the weekend’s brutality.
The problem is that other people’s problems get imported and this is what you then get and what a sorry state of affairs when all the police and government do is talk, but they do extremely little about it.
Unfortunately, we’ve allowed too many of these people into our country over the years and they have no respect or tolerance for our values or anyone else’s.
If they’re so worried about Palestine, why don’t they go back and protect their motherland? Oh yes, I forgot, no benefit system in Palestine.
