The event follows the release of data by the Community Security Trust, which shows that in 2023, there were over 4,000 antisemitic incidents reported in the UK.
The certificate was sent off with a passport application two weeks ago, according to the Campaign Against Antisemitism, and was returned on Monday with the father’s birthplace vandalized.
The incident was deemed “completely unacceptable” by the organization that exposes antisemitic incidents.
The image was uploaded on X along with the following statement: “A passport application for a six-month-old baby girl was sent by a member of the public to @ukhomeoffice two weeks ago.”
“The birth certificate arrived today torn and with the word ‘Israel’ scrawled on it. It makes sense that the parents are quite worried about this situation.
