(Jewish Group) Antisemitism rose 365% in UK due to Israel-Gaza war

The UK suffered its worst ever outbreak of antisemitic fervor in a one month period from May to June this year since records began in 1984, with a massive increase in antisemitism during this period coming against the background of the conflict between Israel and Hamas in Gaza.

According to a new Community Security Trust (CST) report, an organization which tracks antisemitism in the UK, a total of 628 antisemitic hate incidents took place between May 8 and June 7, more than four times the number of incidents during the same period in 2020 and the month prior to May 8 2021.

The actual rise in percentage terms from the month before the conflict to the May 8 – June 7 period was an incredible 365%.

CST CEO Mark Gardner said that British Jews suffered a campaign of racist hatred, abuse and intimidation, and alleged that anti-racism campaigners ignored or even excused anti-Jewish hate.
