Poll: 2/3 of Brits Have Lost Patience with Anti-Israel Marches
(Telegraph-UK) Stephen Pollard - Polling released on Nov. 20 by the More In Common think tank shows that 44% of Brits say the UK is now an unsafe place for Jews. A poll in October by the Institute for Jewish Policy Research found that 35% of Jews feel unsafe in Britain in 2025 - compared with just 9% in 2023. 47% of British Jews now see antisemitism as a "very big" problem - up from 11% in 2012. Such numbers are a response to reality - both a rational response to the record levels of antisemitism and an emotional response to the history of Jews that is embedded in our DNA. In the past two years, many Jews have banged on about the hate marches, about social media, about Islamists, about misleading and incendiary reporting of the Gaza war. It has mainly felt as if we were screaming into the void. Overwhelmingly, the feeling has been that no one really gives a damn. The marches continue. The hate spreads. The poison deepens. Yet polling also shows that 60% say they are concerned about the rise in antisemitism and 67% have lost patience with the marches, saying that the most disruptive should be banned. 64% said they do not like hearing a musician shouting "death to the IDF" at Glastonbury, as the BBC broadcast live.
