The Community Security Trust, an antisemitism awareness charity, recorded 325 university-related antisemitic incidents across British universities in the last two academic years.
British Jewish students have suffered a ‘wave of anti-Jewish hatred’ on university campuses in the last two years as the number of reported antisemitic incidents hit a record high.
The damning report documents ten incidents of violent assault against students and 23 incidents of threats - including death threats and a bomb hoax inside a synagogue used by Jewish students.

The perpetrators began by engaging in a fake conversation between themselves in which one asked ‘U selling any kosher meat? Struggling to find some round here ’, after which one asked ‘Everyone agree w what’s going on in Israel right?’. By comparison there were zero cases of damage to university-related Jewish property in the 2020/21 or 2021/22 academic years.
