Shops, synagogues and restaurants in London were tagged with what officials are calling anti-Semitic graffiti over the weekend in a small crime spree that left the Jewish community there shaken.
CNN reports that London police are investigating the spate of taggings, most of which featured a six-pointed Star of David over the numbers “911,” an apparent reference to the September 11, 2001 attacks that brought down the World Trade Center in New York City. Taken together, the graffiti seems to blame the Jewish people or the state of Israel for terrorism within the United States — a conspiracy theory that has festered in the dark corners of the Internet.
