Since the war began on October 7, 2023, anti-Semitic incidents in the UK surged to unprecedented levels, reaching 5,583 recorded cases, the highest since records began.
The CST reported a 204 percent increase in anti-Semitic behavior over the past year, with a notable spike to 1,400 incidents in October alone, attributing this to geopolitical tensions.
CST's breakdown revealed that 4,583 incidents were classified as abusive behavior, while assaults and damage incidents also contributed significantly to the alarming yearly tally.
As the conflict in Israel escalates, the CST noted that reports of anti-Semitism have surged, indicating a direct correlation between international incidents and rising local hate crimes.
