Britain witnessed five days of unprecedented anti-Semitic riots, which broke out first in Liverpool, then spread throughout the country. Rioters burned synagogues and ransacked shops; in all, they destroyed over three hundred Jewish establishments and defaced others with graffiti and signs reading “Hang all Jews,” “Hitler was right,” and “Destroy Judah.”[49] The press fueled public anger. Newspapers printed the mutilated images of the sergeants day after day and often refused to run Jewish condemnations of Revisionist terrorism.
