The number of antisemitic incidents in the UK has reached a new annual high, according to data gathered by a Jewish safety watchdog.
The types of altercations recorded include assault (up 96% since 2022) damage and desecration of Jewish property (up 146%), threats (up 196%) and abusive behaviour (up 149%).
CST stated that the “driving force” behind the 147% surge in anti-Jewish abuse last year was Hamas’s attack on Israel on the 7th of October.
British Home Secretary James Cleverly condemned the rise in antisemitic abuse as “utterly deplorable”.
He said the government had taken steps to confront it, including increasing funding for protective security at Jewish schools and places of worship.
