[Times-UK] Joanna Bale and Anthony Browne - British Jews are facing a wave of anti-Semitic attacks prompted by Israel's conflict with Hizballah in Lebanon.

Mark Gardner, of the Community Security Trust, said: "In July, when the conflict in Lebanon began, we received reports of 92 incidents." On Thursday an all-party parliamentary inquiry will state that anti-Semitic violence has become endemic in Britain, both on the streets and university campuses. The report will call for urgent action from the government, the police, and educational establishments.
