Uri Geller 'bitter' over 'anti-semitic' graffiti

Psychic Uri Geller today spoke of the “bitter feeling” he experienced after seeing anti-Semitic graffiti daubed outside his British home.

The Israeli star who has lived in the village of Sonning, Berkshire, for 20 years, was out walking his dog along a towpath along the river Thames earlier this week when he saw racists had sprayed the word “Jew” on his fence.

Geller, a close friend of popstar Michael Jackson, describes himself as a “man of peace” and said the attack left him struggling to guess whether the attack was intended as political or racial.

He said: “I went out, I took my dog out for a walk and there it was on my fence in big letters ’Jew’.

“There’s no doubt I was targeted because to get to my property, especially that side of the fence is not an easy job to do.

“It’s not a good feeling I have never had this before, I have been in other countries and this is the last place I would have expected it.

“It happens far away but when it happens to you in your own home it just gives you a bitter feeling.”

Geller, best known for his psychic spoon-bending displays, added: “I love this place, I have been here for 20 years in the same house.

“But this is what is strange, you live in this tiny village, a beautiful village, and these people target you or vandalise your house, it gives you a bitter feeling.

“You question, what is going on. Is the security tight enough and sufficient?

“My property is immensely guarded, I have cameras and guard dogs, but they are all inward on the property, that’s why I have no footage, because I don’t want to film the towpath.”
