London, UK - Royal Mail Probes Swastika Daubings

London, UK - The Royal Mail has promised to launch an investigation after discovering that donations sent from Jews in London to a charity in Israel were being daubed with swastikas en route to their destination.

We were alerted to the anti-semitic defacing of post by David Pearl, senior partner of Pearl and Co Solicitors in Hendon, who tried to mail a cheque for £50 to Ezra and Chessed in Jerusalem.
However the charity for learning disabled children returned his donation explaining they couldn’t accept it in its current state - both the covering letter and the cheque had had the Nazi symbol scrawled all over them.

Ezra and Chessed confirmed that the letter from Pearl and Co solicitors was just one of a number of donations from the UK they had received that had been defaced with swastikas. Izchak Abargil from the charity said that he was "deeply distressed" by the anti-semitic scrawls, which were all the more hurtful given that the money was destined to help children with Down’s syndrome and other special needs. "This is simply terrible", he said. "People must be told what is happening."
