Antisemitic incidents highly increased in England since Israel attacked Gaza

RELIGIONS NEWS AGENCY (REDNA) – The Community Security Trust, which protects British Jews, reports an “unprecedentedly high” number of antisemitic incidents since Israel airstrike to Gaza on 7 October.

As of yesterday, CST recorded 600 cases including assaults, damage to Jewish property, threats, abusive behaviour, verbal and online abuse, which are often “laced with the language and symbols of pro-Palestinian and anti-Israel politics”.

This is the highest number of incidents in a 17-day period in its history and is an increase of 641 per cent compared to the same period last year.

Home Secretary Suella Braverman held a Jewish Community Crime, Policing and Security Taskforce meeting yesterday, to discuss measures to protect Jewish communities.
