It took a week, but Gateshead Council is today removing graffiti after being alerted by CAA and Shomrim
Gateshead Council has removed offensive anti-Jewish graffiti from a building site today.
The graffiti was spotted a week ago on Bensham Road in Gateshead and was reported by Gateshead Shomrim, the Jewish volunteer neighbourhood watch patrol.
Campaign Against Antisemitism then reported the graffiti to Gateshead Council, which has now, after a week, removed it.
Campaign Against Antisemitism’s analysis of Home Office statistics shows that an average of over three hate crimes are directed at Jews every single day in England and Wales, with Jews almost four times more likely to be targets of hate crimes than any other faith group.
