Poll: Only 59% of British Jews Felt They Had a Long-Term Future in the UK
(Jewish Chronicle-UK) Kristy Buchanan - A survey carried out by YouGov and King's College London for the Campaign Against Antisemitism (CAA) found that almost 8 in 10 British Jews felt "intimidated as a Jew" by the anti-Israel protests during the 2021 Gaza conflict. Only 59% of British Jews felt they had a long-term future in the UK - down from last year's 66%. 87% thought media bias against Israel fueled persecution of Jews in Britain. The CAA has urged the BBC and Channel 4, where trust is lowest, to appoint independent anti-Semitism advisers to improve coverage of relevant issues. 78% felt intimidated by the boycott of businesses selling Israeli goods.
