Attacks on UK Jews Soar Since Lebanon
[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. Synagogues have been daubed with graffiti, Jewish leaders have had hate-mail, and ordinary people have been subjected to insults and vandalism. 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.
