The statue of the late British singer Amy Winehouse, located in Camden Town, London, has been defaced with a sticker of a Palestinian flag covering the Star of David necklace, a symbol of her Jewish identity. This act has sparked widespread condemnation and has been labeled as antisemitic by various individuals and news outlets. The incident has prompted an investigation by the London police. The sticker also bore the acronym FOA, which is believed to represent the group 'Friends of Al-Aqsa'. The UK government, through Environment Secretary Steve Barclay, has reiterated its commitment to tackling anti-Semitism in light of the event. Amy Winehouse's father, Mitch Winehouse, expressed that his family has been deeply affected, emphasizing Amy's pride in her Jewish heritage.

Amy Winehouse was a talented musician with an incredible and unique voice. The defacement of her statue for anti-Israeli and antisemitic goals offends me as an Israeli, as a Jew and as a fan. 📷 @EtanSmallman https://t.co/YNaHyzv7o0

Defacing a statue of the late Amy Winehouse because she wore a Jewish star necklace is truly disgusting. If you can’t stand to look at a symbol of Judaism on a memorial for a Jewish singer because of your dislike for the Israeli government, perhaps the antisemitism and Israel… https://t.co/rTJcfQsH4A
Imagine being so bigoted that even a Jewish symbol on a statue can’t be tolerated. Someone covered the Jewish Star of David with a Palestinian flag on this London statue of a Jewish singer. 📷 @EtanSmallman https://t.co/n0AsId8IUb

More vile antisemitism in the UK. This time, defaming the statue of a dead Jewish singer. Pro-Palestinian activists have defamed the Amy Winehouse statue at @CamdenMarket in London. Her Star of David necklace has been replaced by a Palestinian flag. 📷 @EtanSmallman https://t.co/aDkdZjVgPP

The Amy Winehouse statue has stood undisturbed and respected for years. It has her Star of David necklace out and proud. Until today when a pro-Palestinian defaced her Jewishness with a sticker. This is GROSS antisemitism. Please remedy this @CamdenMarket now. h/t @EtanSmallman https://t.co/2wCr8QwwSV
