Israel Gaza: Antisemitic incidents 'triple in UK' since Hamas attack
By Emily McGarveyBBC News
Antisemitic incidents in the UK have More Than tripled since Hamas's attack on Israel, says a charity which helps Jewish People in the UK.
The Community Security Trust (CST) recorded 89 " anti-Jewish hate" incidents from 7 to 10 October.
That marked a 324% rise on the 21 antisemitic incidents recorded over the same period Last Year , it said.
Security minister Tom Tugendhat said he was " very concerned" at reports of an increase in antisemitism.
The CST says six of the 89 incidents recorded were assaults, three referred to damage to Jewish property and 66 were related to abusive behaviour, 22 of which happened online.
In examples of incidents given by The Group :
The CST said: " Make no mistake: these are anti-Jewish racist incidents and Hate Crimes in which Jewish People , property and institutions are Singled Out for hate, including death threats and abuse.
" In many cases, The Perpetrators of these disgraceful incidents are using the symbols and language of pro-Palestinian politics as rhetorical weapons with which to threaten and abuse Jewish People . "
Hamas began its assault on Israel on Saturday,
Mr Tugendhat said he took The Rise in antisemitism in the UK " extremely seriously" and urged a crackdown on the spread of hate.
He compared the ideology of Hamas to that of The Nazis in The 1930S and 40s.
" What The Nazis were doing is exactly what Hamas is doing today, " he told Sky News . " It is preaching a blood libel, preaching a hatred for Jews and preaching a hatred that extends around The World . "
Earlier This Week , Home Secretary Suella Braverman wrote to police chiefs to Step Up patrols to prevent antisemitic disorder after the attacks on Israel.
