OPINION - We British Jews cannot be left to fight the sickening rise in antisemitism alone

The statistics do not lie. Antisemitic incidents in Britain are at an all-time recorded high. The annual report from the Community Security Trust released yesterday made for depressing reading, showing that in the forty years of collecting data, there has never been a larger total. In 2023, 4,103 incidents were recorded, a mixture of physical, verbal and online attacks. Well over half were in London, unsurprising perhaps since that is where British Jewish life is concentrated, with approximately four in five British Jews living in the capital.
