Antisemitic messages were found written in the bunkers at Hendon Golf Club in north London, leading the Metropolitan Police to launch a racism investigation. The club discovered the vandalism and other damage on Friday, just ahead of Yom Kippur, a Jewish holiday which runs from Friday evening to Saturday evening. MP David Pinto-Duschinsky said the actions were “utterly appalling” and completely unacceptable. The Community Security Trust (CST) works to combat antisemitism and described the incident as “utterly disgraceful”.
The force says the incident is being investigated as a racially aggravated hate crime and has called for witnesses with information to come forward. They are aware of the shock and distress caused to the Jewish community, particularly coming at a time when the community is celebrating an important religious holiday. Hendon Golf Club has not yet made any comment.
The CST has noted the presence of antisemitic slogans and symbols in the golf club’s bunkers and has urged police to capture and punish the culprits. DCI Daniel Branch of the North West Command Unit emphasised the force’s ongoing efforts to identify and arrest the perpetrators of the vandalism.
As of yet, no suspects have been apprehended. Anyone with any information about the case is urged to contact the police to help with the investigation. The public’s help in identifying the guilty party would be greatly appreciated as we work together to combat acts of racial hatred.
