Over 100 anti-Semitic acts in UK in past month

More than 100 hate crimes have been committed against Jews this month in the UK, reports the Daily Mail. The number is more than twice the normal figure.

The rise comes during fighting in the Gaza Strip between Israel and Hamas, who are joined by other terrorist groups.

Over the past month, four Muslim teenagers attacked a rabbi outside a Jewish school in Gateshead. In Belfast, bricks were thrown through the windows of the city’s only synagogue on two consecutive nights.

A London pro-Israel organization received a bomb threat, says the Daily Mail, and a woman in a niqab threw a stone at a Jewish boy on a bicycle.

Anti-Israel marches regularly feature calls of “Heil Hitler,” and social media is rife with anti-Semitism.

The pattern has been recorded on the European continent as well, especially in France, where synagogues and Jewish businesses have been attacked.
