Jews make up a small minority of the UK population, with just under 300,000 people living in England and Wales identifying as Jewish during the most recent census in 2021.
But the community is feeling increasingly targeted, with the number of antisemitic incidents rising over the past decade and reaching new record levels last year, according to Community Security Trust (CST), a charity that monitors incidents and protects British Jews from terrorism and antisemitism.
The British Jewish community is a mystery to me. The UK has a long and proud history of Jew hatred. They expelled their Jews but the Jews ere desperate to return. The term "blood libel" comes from England! Pogroms in York. During WW2 they were one of the biggest enablers of the Holocaust by sealing off escape routes like Israel. Afer the war, they did whatever they could to hand Israel to the Arabs. Yet the Jews insist "We're proud to be British and we're not going anywhere!" Yeesh, take a hint.
