| [IsraelTimes] Authorities still seeking a man who allegedly smeared urine and feces on four Jewish institutions in the Golders Green neighborhood Police in London are investigating what appear to be four antisemitic attacks committed against Jewish institutions by the same person within less than two weeks. Early Monday morning, a bucket of urine was thrown at a Jewish school in Golders Green, a prominent Jewish neighborhood in the city, Jewish News reported. CCTV showed the perpetrator was a man with a short beard wearing a hooded sweatshirt and shorts. The previous day, security cameras caught what appeared to be the same man smearing a bag of feces onto the entrance of a synagogue. Another synagogue was allegedly defaced in a similar manner on September 3, and a private home in the neighborhood was reported to have been smeared with feces on August 31. The security organization Shomrim said it had confirmed that all four incidents were committed by the same man. The nonprofit said it was working closely with police investigators and providing support to those affected. VANDALISM IN PRAGUE Separately, a Jewish shop in Prague was vandalized for the third time in a month last week, with the words “Holocaust 2025″ and “Fascists” spray-painted across the door and front window. Security footage showed a man wearing a sombrero vandalizing the Jewish E-Shop on Belgická Street in the Vinohrady district of Prague. Police have yet to identify a suspect, Czech media said. Several weeks earlier, on August 10, the shop was attacked by what appeared to be the same person. Video cameras caught the man urinating on the storefront and then spray-painting the words, “Fuck in Nazi.” On July 31, the words “Free Palestine” and “Benjamin Hitler” were written across the storefront, likely by the same person. The latter phrase is likely intended as a combination of the names of Benjamin Netanyahu and Adolf Hitler. The attacks have generally come between 4-5 a.m., and have not involved structural damage beyond the painted words. The chairman of Prague’s Jewish community, Pavel Král, said his organization has been working with security officials to investigate the incidents, which could carry a prison sentence of up to three years. |
