British Jewish Community Faces Rising Attacks
Anti-Semitic hate crimes in the United Kingdom now exceed 3,000 per year following the October 7th attacks by Hamas. The BBC reports that hate crimes have exceeded 3,000 annually since the October 7th Hamas attacks, marking a increase from 5-7 years ago. The increase in violent anti-Semitism has been noted in the context of the October 7 attacks. Previous incidents cited include a 2017 concert attack in Manchester and an attack near Parliament in 2017. The Jewish community in the United Kingdom reports a rise in anti-Semitic incidents, including synagogues being torched and Jewish students being beaten on public transport. University students are reportedly being harassed on campus every day. The report links these attacks to the recent surge in anti-Israel pro-Palestine protests on the streets. The Foreign Office has been notified of these developments.
