Israel-Gaza conflict: Burst of anti-Semitic attacks in UK as crisis rages in the Middle East


Anti-Semitic attacks are on the rise in Britain amid a growing chorus of criticism at Israel’s assault on Gaza

There have been bomb threats, bricks have been thrown at synagogues, a rabbi attacked and a #HitlerDidNothingWrong hashtag circulated on Twitter.

According to the Sunday Times, more than 100 incidents have been recorded by community organisations and police this month, well above what is normally experienced.

Four teenagers have been charged with racially aggravated common assault after a rabbi was reportedly attacked near a Jewish boarding school in Gateshead on 18 July, while in Belfast, on the same day, bricks were hurled through a synagogue’s window.

On 12 July, following a pro-Palestine rally, a group of men piled into four or five cars and drove through a Jewish area of Greater Manchester crying “Heil Hitler,” while also pelting pedestrians with eggs and drinks cans.

the same posters who always seem to downplay this stuff to do the same here. Deflection or, even worse, "stop the occupation" as if Jews in GB are responsible for that. I see 3 posts in we're already off to the races. How predictable this place has become.

But are "bugged" that violent antiSemitic incidents in the name of Gazans against Jews in other countries are posted at all .

It goes against their narrative or against at least one of their core beliefs .

They may want to rethink their calling the rampant anti-semitic attacks in Europe "nonsense" but I'm guessing they're too pissed they can't control the narrative to the narrow sliver they want to.
