A number of Jewish owned shops in Birmingham, England’s second largest city, were yesterday plastered with anti-Semitic signs in the latest of a recent wave of anti-Jewish incidents in that city. Police were investigating today and a police official linked this development with earlier incidents.
The signs read: “Nationalists of the world unite. You have nothing to lose but your Jews.” It is believed that the signs were pasted up by members of a group known as “Birmingham Nationalists.”
This group is also believed responsible for the painting of white swastikas on the doors of the Birmingham Synagogue, the chalking of anti-Jewish slogans on walls during the last general election campaign, and the plastering of “cancelled” notices over billboards advertising a recent concert in Birmingham of the touring Israel Philharmonic Concert.
