There has been an "explosion in hatred" against Jews in the UK, with more than 4,000 antisemitic incidents recorded in 2023. The all-time high has been put down to the "sheer volume" which took place following the Hamas attacks on October 7, the Community Security Trust said.
Other incidents included "Free Palestine" graffiti being sprayed on a bridge in Golders Green, which is home to one of London's largest Jewish communities; the defacing with swastikas of a poster in London of a baby kidnapped by Hamas; and a visibly Jewish man being verbally abused and threatened by people who were attending a pro-Palestinian demonstration.
