'Truly appalling'
Anti-Semitic incidents have increased 96 per cent in Greater Manchester. In the first six months of this year, there were 268, compared to 137 during the same January to June period in 2023.
CST bosses said the first of those incidents saw youngsters approached by boys from another school. One was called a 'Jewish c***' and was swung at, while another was headbutted. Another boy was punched. "Never before has CST received so many cases of anti-Jewish hate targeting synagogues during the first half of the year," the report reads.
The CST recorded 121 incidents in the category of assault in the first six months of 2024 - the most ever recorded in the period and an increase of 41pc. "As is usual in times when Israel is at war, there was a significant increase in school related anti-Jewish hate. Thirty anti-Semitic incidents were reported in the first six months of 2024 that took place at Jewish schools. A further 51 incidents involved Jewish schoolchildren away from school, usually commuting to or from their place of education, often visibly Jewish due to their uniform.
