The Community Security Trust (CST)’s figures show unambiguously that 2023 was by far the worst year in the UK for antisemitism since records began.
The report makes clear what our community knows well – that antisemites use the pretext of Israel – in this case, the terror of October 7th and the conflict with Hamas – as an excuse for expressing their hatred against British Jews. It is long past time for everyone else in the UK to wake up to this fact, and stand with us against this bigotry.
