A Jewish-owned business in the Stamford Hill neighborhood of London was vandalized overnight in an of antisemitism cloaked in pro-Palestinian activism.
According to witnesses and security footage, a group of masked individuals shattered the storefront’s windows and splashed red paint across the exterior of the building—an act meant to symbolize the blood of Palestinians. The attackers also left behind graffiti referencing the British government’s ties with Elbit Systems, an Israeli defense company. However, the business in question has no connection to Elbit or UK defense contracts, sources confirmed to YWN.
“This was not a protest. This was targeted hate,” said a local Jewish community representative. “There was no political statement here—just a message of intimidation directed at the Jewish community.”
Police are investigating the attack, which occurred in the early hours of the morning, as a possible hate crime. Forensics teams were seen at the scene collecting evidence, and officers are reviewing CCTV footage from nearby buildings in hopes of identifying the perpetrators.
The Community Security Trust (CST), a group that monitors antisemitism in the UK, has reported a sharp increase in anti-Jewish hate crimes since the start of the Israel-Hamas war.
No arrests have yet been made in connection with the Stamford Hill incident. Police are urging anyone with information to come forward.

Thank you Mr Starmer & Lammy with many of your British Labour party MP’s for spurring anti-semitism across the UK and beyond.
A possible hate crime?????? Just how far are the British “police” going to go in order not to OFFEND these evil subhumans????????????
This reminds me of Krystal Nacht.
I know in Germany the Jewish people were not able to flee after Krystal Nacht. It was very difficult.
Right now the government of England is allowing people to leave the country.
Lakewood NJ , Yerushalaim, Bnei Brak and etc. are much safer than Europe.
what difference does it make? the restaurant was the target of a violent attack based on racist hatred. the real question is, will the perps be punished for this, or do they belong to a protected group?
The world cares so much about Palestinians not one of them would host even one refugee for one week
“masked individuals…. splashed red paint across the exterior of the building—an act meant to symbolize the blood of Palestinians”
Why do you have to add that political statement for them when they didn’t even say that themselves…???
Every single Arab Londoner knows that S.H. neighborhood is never linked to “Zionists.” If anything, this shows again that racism is at the root of anti Israelism.
