Reports of antisemitism incidents related to London's universities have more than doubled.
Across the UK, the CST received reports of 150 incidents across the 2020-21 and 2021-22 academic years.
The report found that antisemitism incidents related to the capital's universities more than doubled compared to the previous two-year period, when 12 incidents were reported to the CST.
Mr Berke, the former vice-president of the university's Jewish society, said: "My friends have been sent death threats. There's been kind of a lot of questioning around people's beliefs simply because they are Jewish, and events we've had to postpone or move or cancel or hide the location of that event simply to avoid being targeted."
The CST believes many incidents experienced by students go unreported, Mr Rich said. He told the BBC: "What we're seeing is just a snapshot of what is reported, and probably the figures therefore only give you a feel of the tip of the iceberg of what's actually happening," he said.

Dollar Stores and Food Access for Rural Households in the United States, 2008‒2020Dollar stores have rapidly expanded their food offerings in recent years. These foods tend to be higher in calories and lower in nutrients, raising public health concerns, especially in rural and low-income areas where food-access challenges are often greatest. However, there is limited empirical evidence evaluating the impact of this expansion on household food purchases on a national scale. Using data from a yearly, nationally representative panel of approximately 50 000 households, we estimated the share of food purchases from 2008 to 2020 by store type and evaluated the role of dollar stores as food retailers in the United States. We found that dollar stores were the fastest-growing food retailers by household expenditure share (increasing by 89.7%), with rural growth outpacing growth elsewhere (increasing by 102.9%). Though dollar stores still represent a small share of national household food purchases (2.1% in 2020), they play an increasingly prominent role in food-at-home purchases for certain disadvantaged and rural communities. Understanding the quality of the foods they offer and how this may affect diet-related health outcomes is warranted. (Am J Public Health.
