Israel Gaza: Antisemitic Incidents 'Quadruple in UK' since Hamas Attack

BBC: Antisemitic incidents in the UK have more than quadrupled since Hamas's attack on Israel, says a charity which helps Jewish people in the UK.

The Community Security Trust (CST) recorded 89 "anti-Jewish hate" incidents from 7 to 10 October.

That marked a more than four-fold rise on the 21 antisemitic incidents recorded in the same period last year.

Security minister Tom Tugendhat said he was "very concerned" at reports of an increase in antisemitism.

The CST says six of the 89 incidents recorded were assaults, three referred to damage to Jewish property and 66 were related to abusive behaviour, 22 of which happened online. » | Emily McGarvey, BBC News | Thursday, October 12, 2023

Il a répété qu’il n’y avait pas de signe d’importation du conflit ou de « menace terroriste islamiste » en France. »
