Antisemitic leaflets bearing the threat “Zionists leave Britain or be slaughtered” have been found across Hendon, a predominantly Jewish neighborhood in London. The flyers, written in Hebrew, also declared the area a “Zionist free zone” in English.
“This is not just another wave that will pass if we remain passive,” warned Isaac Zarfati, executive director of Stand With Us UK, in an interview with GB News. “We must take those threats and statements seriously because one day they will turn into actions. Decisive steps are needed to combat this alarming phenomenon.”
This is not the first recent incident targeting the Jewish community in the area. Before Yom Kippur, antisemitic messages, including “F*** the Jew,” “Heil Hitler,” and swastikas, were etched into bunkers on the golf course at the Heldon Golf Club.
London Mayor Sadiq Khan condemned the golf course vandalism, stating he was “sickened by the rise in antisemitism in our city. Hate crime is a criminal offense and has no place in London.”
Data from the London Metropolitan Police reveal that antisemitic hate crimes in the city have more than doubled in the past year, underscoring the growing concerns of Jewish residents and organizations.
The incidents come amid a broader surge in antisemitic activity across the UK, leaving Jewish communities calling for stronger measures to address and prevent hate crimes.
“We are witnessing a troubling trend of red lines being repeatedly crossed,” Zarfati said.

The writing is on the wall, Hashem wants us to repent and return to Eretz Yisrael. Enough of dwelling in foreign and uncircumcised lands.
So these people are PRO-Zionists by writing such letters?
All it takes to do this is one bored antisemite with a cheap printer….
Do they know what they want? Do they want us to settle in E”Y?! Serve in the IDF fighting against Palestinian terrorists?

*and be returned [by Moshiach] to Eretz Yisroel
I hope that there were enough cameras that caught people, and I use that term loosely because they obviously are not people, who did this. These people need to be taken some place and made permanent residents of the 6 ft under club.
@Barn Owl,
If the writing is on the wall, then what you write after, is only evidence of severe dyslexia, if that is what you read!
GO ahead, fly to the SUPER safe – fire cracking, flame bombing, missile from the sky falling, stabbing shooting and suiciding country that is oh so safe because of your monkey zionist “army” bunch of drunked poritz bandits.
But carry on swearing allegiance to the zionist idol, because the sky is pink!!
YOU MAKE ME LAUGH!!!

That baby girl about 2 years ago wanted to leave 🇬🇧 & return to 🇮🇱, but the wicked evil British Court refused to let her family & physicians fly her out of 🇬🇧 alive
All Zionists must go back to Palestine!
These flyers along with the swastikas and other messages at a local golf club are the actions of a few people, perhaps even a single person. So by first the community there telling everyone there about it, and now YYN spreading this all over the Jewish world it gives the impression that the community there is literally under siege from anti semites all around them, when in reality it was the work of a few people. And this is true in general about the reporting of every anti semitic act today that both amplifies that act to the whole Jewish world and gives the impression that the acts of a few out of control people represent society as a whole. There were always people who would say or even act in a minor physical way against yidden but this was limited to the person who experienced it. Today every small act is publicized which gives the impression that 1. things are much worse than they are, and 2. that anti semitisim on the streets is getting worse. The reality is that things were always this way, the only thing that changed is that now every time someone says something or does something like pushing a yid it is spoken of as if its surprising, that it is newsworthy, and implies that something needs to be done to end such things, when the reality is things have always been this way, it is to be expected and therefore for better or worse it is the norm.
To all the Chosheve commenters who are trying to strangle Barn Owl:
No. 1: I do agree with him partially.
No. 2: Rav Shimshon Pinkus
זכר צדיק וקדוש לברכה
he said that the people living in America, it is a little similar to we love the land, as if we are a little bit married to the USA soil and he added that the soil is a Shiksa here in USA, in other words, here in USA we are partially married to a non-Jewish woman. He meant that we should try to return to Eretz Yisroel.
I do understand the people who are still living in
חוץ לארץ
I am assuming that a family has a Rav and the father discussed with the Rav all his personal issues and the Rav Paskened for this family that for now you should continue to live where you are right now. This is basically a 3 hour conversation and I tried to shorten it. You need to follow your Rebbe or Rav or Rosh HaYeshiva. The Chassidim follow their Chosheve Rebbe.
One of the biggest reasons-among many other reasons-why we are still sitting in exile golus and Mashiach has not arrived yet is because klal yisroel today is not so happy and not YEARNING for Mashiach already to come, were so happy living in the free country of the USA in a world of technology and gashmius pleasures, when klal yisroel starts to Yearn for Mashiach and beg Hashem WHOLEHEARTEDLY for Mashiach to come already so all the non stop horrific tragedies hitting klal yisroel rachmana litzlan can come to a stop and Hashem can send Mashiach already bkarov to his loving children klal yisroel just like YOU would help your own child crying out for help in something they need.
I live in hendon and there’s not one of these anywhere?
I live in hendon and there’s not one of these anywhere
big deal… eisav soina le yacov, get over it everyone, nothing will change, stop worrying so much about anti sematism so much and daven for moshiach a bit more
the Hendon Golf Course is at the edge of Hendon, just before the M1 (the motorway/highway to Manchester), which is out of the main area of Hendon, where the kehilla is located.
It doesn’t really mean much as much as it would mean if the same happened say on Golders Green Road etc…
