Holocaust survivors have home ransacked as antisemitic incidents hit new record in UK

Holocaust survivors had their home ransacked and sprayed with graffiti in one of a record number of antisemitic incidents reported in the UK.

The Community Security Trust (CST) said the elderly couple returned from holiday in April to find the house “ransacked and desecrated” with “c*** Jews” scrawled in large letters across their living room wall.

Other incidents saw Jewish victims punched, kicked or pelted with stones, bottles and eggs, while swastikas and slogans including “gas the Jews” were sprayed on buildings.

The CST, which monitors antisemitism and provides security for Jewish communities, recorded a total of 892 incidents in the first six months of this year – a 10 percent increase on last year and a new record.

Unfucking believable. It's open season on Jewish people and nobody gives a fuck.

Cowardly haters.

When Hitler was being fought, everyone was clear what evil was. Now the lines have been cynically blurred, and effectively.

Winner! Winner! Matzoh Ball dinner!

How long before someone comes to whine about anti-Semitism is really just 'criticism' of Israel and we don't really know what it is.

Until more of us die, the trend will continue. When I say more, it will have to be something "spectacular" for people to even take notice. Another few shot up (blown up) synagogues, or Jewish schools...nah, that won't make a difference. No, sadly, for people to care, including some Jews, it will have to almost rival Kristallnacht. Of course, even then, we will be reminded how Israel did something bad or Stephen Miller is a Nazi-wannabe, no, even something disastrous will still be unlikely to produce any more sympathy, much less raise concern.
