Uri Geller has spoken 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 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."
