No place for hate - statement in response to attack on Islington menorah lights
Cllr Kaya Comer-Schwartz, Leader of Islington Council, said:
“We are utterly appalled at the attack on the menorah lights at Islington Green today.
“The festival of Hanukkah is a celebration of light and joy. This horrific antisemitic attack is completely unacceptable and doesn’t reflect the Islington we know and love.
“Hate crime has no place in Islington and we will work with the Metropolitan Police to find the culprit of this attack. Islington will not be cowed by hate crime and we will make sure replacement menorah lights are in place for the remainder of Hanukkah to make sure our community can continue to celebrate.”
