“Targeting a business on the basis of alleged or perceived #Israeli and or #Jewish connections reflects a very worrying trend,” a spokesperson for the #BoardofDeputies of #British #Jews said. “Across the #UK, companies and individuals are increasingly singled out by reference to their association, real or otherwise, to #Israel, with an inevitable disproportionate impact on the Jewish community. That is not legitimate protest; it is creating an atmosphere of intimidation for Jewish businesses, staff and customers. And is part of a wider trend to try and drive Jews out of wider civil society.”
The European Jewish Congress called the incident “deeply concerning” in a statement on X.
“Targeting a local business because of perceived Jewish or Israeli associations reflects a troubling normalization of hostility that must be firmly rejected,” the post said. “Such acts have no place in our societies and must be unequivocally condemned.”
