A West Yorkshire pub has been forced to apologise after being hit with complaints over an "antisemitic" quiz team name.
The quiz took place at The Crown in Boston Spa, just days after the attack on two Jewish men in Golders Green on April 29.
On May 4, a team calling itself "Golders Green should be Golders Greed" entered and subsequently won the quiz.
Now, the manager at the pub has apologised, adding the pub was "reviewing" the incident.
The complainant, who themselves was not Jewish, said: "This was absolutely outrageous, and is both insensitive and racist towards innocent British Jews.
"How was this allowed in our local pub? Which member of staff felt this insensitive and damaging team name was acceptable?
"This type of public victimisation perpetuates ill feeling and alienation towards a minority group. To be blunt, it incites hatred.
"The Crown is clearly not an inclusive establishment. What Jew could ever feel welcome or safe there. Shameful!"

In response, the manager apologised for the incident, adding that it was "reviewing the incident."
He said: "We are very sorry that this team name caused offence and distress.
"The name should not have been accepted and we take concerns about discrimination and inclusivity very seriously.
"At the time, it appears the significance and implications of the wording were not properly recognised by those running the quiz, but that does not lessen the impact it may have had on customers and members of the community.

A spokesman for Campaign Against Antisemitism added: "This is plainly racist.
"It shows just how normalised racism against Jews has become in Britain.

"Everyone knows now that abusing Jews carries no consequences.
"Worse still, it has become cool. Not for the first time in history."
Co-director of Labour Against Antisemitism Alex Hearn added the incident showed how anti-Jewish hate was now "an everyday occurrence".
He said: "It’s difficult to know what is worse: callously mocking the place where Jews are being attacked, racist tropes about Jewish greed, or that no one objected to any of it.
"This incident reveals how dehumanising Jews has become acceptable, and how anti-Jewish racism is now an everyday occurrence."
