151 antisemitic incidents reported in UK since Gaza ceasefire
Acts of antisemitism in the United Kingdom continue to rise this week, despite the ceasefire in hostilities between Israel and Hamas. The escalation had unleashed acts of anti-Jewish hatred around the world.
Over the past 17 days, at least 267 incidents of antisemitism have been reported in the UK – an increase of more than 500% compared to the previous 17 days, the Community Security Trust (CST) security group tells The Jewish News of London. CST says 151 of the incidents have come after May 20, when the ceasefire was announced.
