Anti-Jewish Hate Incidents Hit Record High in UK
(Guardian-UK) Robert Booth - The Community Security Trust (CST) that monitors anti-Semitism in the UK recorded 2,255 incidents in 2021 including 173 violent assaults, a 34% increase from 1,684 incidents in 2020. "These hatreds boil away, taking any excuse to publicly burst out against Jews," said, Mark Gardner, the chief executive of CST. 78 incidents were related to the Covid pandemic - from conspiracy theories about Jewish involvement in creating and spreading it, to wishing that Jewish people caught the virus and died from it.
