DESECRATION OF JEWISH CEMETERY IN WEST HAM

That this House condemns the appalling desecration of the Jewish cemetery in West Ham, including the destruction of grave stones, the daubing of swastikas and racist graffiti; welcomes the statements of solidarity by leaders of West Ham's multi-faith community with those whose families or community are interred in the cemetery and its rejection of the politics of racial hatred and community division; and calls upon the Government to work with communities, the police service and local government to prevent such attacks against places of sacred or religious significance, which cause such pain and incite fear and division.
