Surge in antisemitism in UK worst for 40 years

[Social Media]

 

A recent report has unveiled a stark surge in antisemitic incidents across the United Kingdom, reaching the highest levels in over four decades. The Community Security Trust (CST) report revealed a staggering increase of almost 150% in antisemitic incidents in 2023, totaling over 4,000 cases. This surge comes in the wake of the Hamas attacks on Israel and their subsequent aftermath.

 

Home Secretary James Cleverly condemned the alarming rise in antisemitism, labeling it as "utterly deplorable" and promising to prioritize the safety of the Jewish community. The report highlighted that the surge in anti-Jewish incidents was particularly pronounced after the October 7 attacks, with nearly 2,700 incidents occurring on or after that date.

 

Of particular concern are incidents of violent assault, abusive behavior, and damage to property, all of which saw significant increases compared to previous years. The report detailed instances of physical assaults, threats, damage to Jewish property, and hate speech, with alarming frequency.

 

The surge in antisemitism also extended to educational settings, with a sharp rise in incidents reported in schools and universities. Children were involved in perpetrating a significant number of these incidents, including the use of Holocaust-related rhetoric.

 

Furthermore, the political sphere has not been immune to this surge, with a notable number of incidents connected to political parties or their supporters. Of these incidents, a significant majority were linked to the Labour Party, raising concerns about the party's handling of antisemitism within its ranks.

 

Online platforms have also become hotbeds for antisemitic rhetoric, with a substantial increase in online hate speech targeting the Jewish community. Social media platforms like Twitter/X have seen a concerning rise in antisemitic content, prompting criticism of their policies for tackling hate speech.

 

The CST report serves as a stark reminder of the pervasive nature of antisemitism in society and underscores the urgent need for concerted efforts to combat it. As political leaders grapple with this alarming trend, there is a growing consensus on the need for stringent measures to address antisemitism in all its forms and ensure the safety and security of the Jewish community.

Hmmmmm. Perhaps if Jews in israel were not blowing thousands of children to bits in Gaza, people in the UK might not be so PO at Jews in the UK.

If you are claiming that it's only Muslims attacking Jews you need to prove that, otherwise you are making it up.

The UK is now a multi-religion country, so to be expected........😉

? Sounds like you're ok with antisemitism, no surprise there

 

Rishi Sunak says anyone unable to condemn ‘evil’ Hamas has ‘no conscience or morality’

The prime minister used his keynote speech at the CFI annual business lunch to condemn those who 'attempt to draw an equivalence between Israel’s actions and those of the terrorists who videotape their appalling crimes'

“Those people who rip down posters of hostages reveal themselves to have no humanity.

“Those who chant “from the river to the sea” are either useful idiots who do not understand what they are saying…or, worse, people who wish to wipe the Jewish state from the map.

But what is antisemitism? Rather than just accept what the ADL says, it would be better to view this independent Israeli documentary maker's work:

Well no surprises there,  that probably accounts for 25% of anti semitic attacks, the muslims and the BBC   can share credit for the other 74%  

As regards the remaining 1%   that's just a few wrong 'uns from within the indigenous population    A link would be difficult to find due to the mainstream medias "reluctance" to publish the actual results of any investigation 

Most genuinely british people have no strong views regarding jews and actually know very little about them, myself included.  But we are all rather well informed about the religion of peace , the Labour party , and mainstream media

Its high time the truth came out regarding matters of this nature, and that includes the banning of any casualty lists compiled by Hamas

Somewhat strange that seemingly  the only casualties are innocent children, and the only buildings destroyed are either hospitals , schools and baby milk factories.  Have any of your  "hamas heroes" actually been killed yet

That's definitely part of the problem. The leftists are also more than happy to join in. 

 

Just pray Labour don't get elected. They have long had a history of anti-semitism and it's still bubbling away just beneath the surface. With a Labour government combined with all the intolerance landing on the beaches of Dover it's going to get even worse for British Jews.

Sounds like you think it is OK for Jews in the UK and globally to be attacked because of Israeli government policies and actions.

now now, from where does this new antisemetic feeling come?  from WHITE native british or... the imported kind with different culture, beliefs and habits not compatible with the west?

Because somehow antisemitism that has existed in the UK for centuries has evaporated and never was something that existed in ‘native British culture’?

What do Jewish people in the UK have to with the Israeli military's actions in Gaza? The former are largely British subjects; the latter Israeli.

Israelis don't deserve anti Jewish hatred either. They may or may not agree with their government's actions. Hate them if you wish because of the policies or if they support them, but not because of their ethnicity.

Are you denying the dramatic rise in antisemitism and the change in the UK's demographic in recent decades? 

 

From the OP: "A recent report has unveiled a stark surge in antisemitic incidents across the United Kingdom, reaching the highest levels in over four decades. "

 

From the 2021 Census (England & Wales):

There were increases in the number of people who described themselves as “Muslim” (3.9 million, 6.5% in 2021, up from 2.7 million, 4.9% in 2011)

There’s a clue in the OP, here it is:

 

“The CommunitySecurity Trust (CST) report revealed a staggering increase of almost 150% in antisemitic incidents in 2023, totaling over 4,000 cases. This surge comes in the wake of the Hamas attacks on Israel and their subsequent aftermath.”

 

Your camping on one hate in order to parade another is noted.

[Jingthing]

Anti Jewish hatred comes from all sides.

 

Traditional Christian you killed Jesus blood libel type.

 

Fascist / Nazi / far right racist white Supremist

 

Conspiracy theory global Jewish control tropes

 

Progressive left based Jews are privileged white oppressors tropes

 

Self hating Jews Finkelstein 

 

Hatred of Israel based example Roger Waters

 

Islamist based

 

Religious based rather than ethnic Judaism as a gutter religion 

 

People obsessed with the debunked Khazar Ashkenazi origin theory

So to sum up anti-Semitism is wrong (I agree) but Islamophobia is ok?

Imo Abbott is a fool and has, quite rightly, had the Labour whip removed. Unfortunately, she is still a member of the Labour Party.

 

However, let's not pretend that anti-Semitism is an exclusively Labour Party problem. Unfortunately, there are plenty of examples of anti-Semitism within the Conservative Party as well

What on earth do you mean, Roger Waters has spoken out against Israeli government atrocities  that does not mean he hates Jews...listen to what he actually says not a media soundbite trying to discredit him as antisemitic.

That's something Jew haters often say. They blame it on the Jews.

 

You're not going to ever convince me that Roger Waters isn't a Jew hater.

I made no mention of ethnicity; I specifically referred to the Israeli military, and I would further narrow that down to military and political leadership. I’m sure that many if not most Israeli soldiers on the ground in Gaza are increasingly horrified by the circumstances in which they find themselves.

 

My post was in rebuttal of the original poster’s excusing antisemitism in Britain because of Israeli actions in Gaza. I was calling out his own antisemitism in making such an argument. I’m sorry if you misunderstood.

and what is the definition of a phobia ?  an unnatural fear of something that can't or won't hurt you,  a dislike of muzzers is not a phobia, Its a perfectly reasonable and understandable emotion,  A dislike of members of a death cult that hates others is fine and to be encouraged,

Say what you want , the muzzers will cut your head off just like they will decapitate the rest of us ,  there really is no point in hedging your bets or sitting on the woke fence they hate us, all of us, and they hate the likes of you even more, nobody respects a traitor

Muzzers - Nice derogatory term

 

1.8 billion people are Muslims and you think that it's perfectly reasonable and understandable to dislike them for that reason?

No more questions. You're doing fine incriminating yourself without my help.

 

[Bday Prang]

there will never be peace on this planet as long as the medieval death cult of islam is allowed to continue, one would have to be retarded or blind to think otherwise. Time to get rid, once and for all
