A man has pleaded guilty over a Facebook post suggesting throwing eggs, overripe fruit and stink bombs at synagogues and Jewish businesses.
Michael Brown, 45, responded to a post on the Brighton and Hove Palestine Solidarity Campaign’s Facebook page with a suggestion to “target local synagogues and Jewish businesses”.
Adjourning the case for sentencing on Tuesday 1 September, Chief Magistrate Paul Goldspring told Brown: “I can’t rule out it will be a custodial sentence.
The court heard that Brown, of High Street, Newhaven, wrote in his Facebook post: “It’s about time to target local synagogues and Jewish businesses with overripe fruit and stink bombs.
“Let’s all buy a pack of 6 eggs and pelt the local synagogues.
