Rising figures reflect a 'disgraceful surge in British antisemitism' according to the Community Security Trust. The home secretary says those who 'push this poison' must face full force of law.
Incidents of anti-Jewish hate doubled in the UK between January and June to reach record levels. The Community Security Trust says it registered 1,978 antisemitic cases in the first half of the year, compared to 964 over the same period in 2023. The charity - which provides protection for British Jews against antisemitic attacks - says it is the highest total ever reported to CST in the first six months of any year.
Scotland Yard has previously acknowledged there is a problem in London after a 'massive increase' in antisemitic incidents and offences since the start of the Israel-Hamas war. But cases were also registered elsewhere in the UK including: Leeds , Birmingham and Oxford .
