Antisemitism today: Mezuzahs torn from senior residents; UK football game suspended because of anti-Jewish insults, and more

Here are some recent news stories about antisemitism that you may have missed, all from the Canadian site TheJ.ca:

Football Match Abandoned After Antisemitic Abuse Targeted Jewish Team In England
London — A Southern League football match between the London Lions and Hitchin Town FC was abandoned after Hitchin players allegedly hurled antisemitic slurs at the largely Jewish London Lions team. According to club representatives and multiple eyewitness accounts, the abuse continued even after the referee intervened, forcing the official to stop the match.

Witnesses say Hitchin players directed insults, including “big-nosed c***s” at their opponents. Match officials temporarily halted play, but after the abuse continued, the referee abandoned the game.

According to those present, the referee confronted players on the pitch after hearing repeated slurs. Even with warnings issued, the verbal abuse continued. At that point, the official followed Football Association protocols for racist and discriminatory incidents and brought the match to an end.

Mezuzahs Torn From Doors In Toronto Seniors’ Building, Prompting Outrage And Fear Among Jewish Residents:
Jewish seniors living in a Toronto Seniors Housing Corporation building at 6250 Bathurst Street discovered that all of the mezuzahs affixed to their apartment doors had been torn off, in what city officials and Jewish community organizations are calling a targeted act of antisemitism. Toronto police have launched an investigation, and community advocates say the incident reflects a worsening climate for Jewish residents across the city.

On Elpeleg, a prominent Jewish activist in Norway, has asserted that a majority of Norwegian Jews are now considering leaving the country, citing a sharp uptick in antisemitism and failures by political leaders and state media to curb the growing hostility. The claim, which will be aired in a televised debate on TV10, reflects deep concern within Norway’s small Jewish community over their safety and future in the country.
A “Christmas in Palestine” display at Fletcher’s Meadow High School in Brampton is prompting concern from parents and community members, who say the exhibit erases the Jewish connection to the land where Jesus was born and presents historically inaccurate claims about the region’s name during the first century.

The display, titled Christmas in Palestine, includes posters referencing “Palestine” at the time of Jesus, Arabic signage, cultural descriptions, and material framed as historical context. One section asks, “What was Palestine called when Jesus was born?” and claims that the term “Palestine” was already in use during the period of Bethlehem and Nazareth.

Historians, however, state clearly that this is incorrect.

Things keep getting worse. And there is nothing at all on the horizon that Jews can look forward to that might turn the tide.
