Daily MailIndependentCenter5 hr. ago

A report by the J7 Large Communities’ Task Force Against Antisemitism reveals that the UK experienced the largest increase in antisemitic incidents among major countries outside Israel. The study highlights a significant rise in antisemitic attitudes globally, with over 91,000 incidents reported across seven nations last year, including 3,700 in the UK. This follows a series of antisemitic attacks, including synagogue assaults and online threats, and marks a 136% increase in reported incidents since 2022. Researchers note that while antisemitic incidents decreased slightly in some countries after the Hamas attacks on Israel in October 2023, they remain at high levels. The report calls for proactive measures from governments to address rising antisemitism through improved security, legislation, and regulation of social media.
