'Wave of hatred' warning as attacks on Jews hits record high

Attacks on Britain's Jews have risen to the highest level since records began.
A study published today shows the number of reported anti-Semitic incidents has almost tripled in 10 years, with more than half the attacks last year taking place in London.
The findings prompted the report's authors to warn of a "wave of hatred" against Jews.
The number of incidents increased to 594 last year, up by 31 per cent on the previous year.
Violent assaults soared to 112, up by more than a third on 2005.
Incidents ranged from the unprovoked stabbing of a Jewish man in north London to the sending of hate mail and the vandalism of Jewish cemeteries and synagogues.
The Anti-Semitic Incidents Report 2006, compiled by the Community Security Trust (CST), responsible for combating anti-Semitism in the UK, blames the huge rise on a number of factors ranging from Israel's invasion of Lebanon last summer to the jailing of the historian David Irving in Austria for denying the Holocaust.
The threatened suspension of Ken Livingstone as Mayor for comments made to a Jewish Evening Standard reporter triggered 11 anti-Semitic incidents, according to the report.
When the figures were first compiled in 1984, there were just 154 reported incidents, about a quarter of the total for last year.
Mark Gardner, CST spokesman said of the level of hate crimes: "This is unacceptable racism, that many Jews had hoped and believed was a thing of the past.
"Today's anti-Semitism is a wave of hatred, intimidation and abuse against British Jews, who are stupidly blamed and randomly attacked over international tensions for which they bear no responsibility."
Incidents last year include:
•
An Orthodox Jew punched in the face and almost pushed off a Tube platform by an Arab man who screamed: "Get back to Stamford Hill, I want to kill you all"
•
A Jewish man walking to synagogue with his two young sons suffered a broken leg after being punched and kicked by a white man shouting "f***ing Jew"
•
Seventy incidents of desecration and damage to synagogues, cemeteries, Jewish schools and private homes with attacks including swastikas daubed on walls
•
Savage assault of a 12-year-old Jewish girl Jasmine Kranat, who was beaten unconscious on a north London bus by two teenage girls who asked her first if she was Jewish.
The physical descriptions of perpetrators in 205 of the incidents show 96 were by white people, 28 by black people, 60 by Asians and 16 by Arabs. The report has been passed to ministers.

I'm not Jewish, but the lessons of wiping out Jews I have learned.
Europe killed six million Jews once, and destroyed millions of scientists, doctors, engineers, and other wonderful people who would have only added to our way of life. How many Jews are on welfare? How many Jews take from our society? 3%? 5%?
We have traded millions of good people for what? And now we continue to try to hurt them? For what basis?

As a Jew living on London, while no-one would know I am Jewish unless I told them, I do hesitate sharing my religious beliefs with anyone but close friends.
I was raised in the States, and while there is hate everywhere - I never felt the fear of revealing my religion before as I do now in London.

In the year 2007 one would think activities of this nature would be diminishing into nothing rather than increasing... This is so sad to read!

What a prick...
what point are you trying to make here... that Whites and Asians hate Jews? Or that Jews are hated in general? We already know that both are true... the Jews have been persecuted for Centuries.
Hail, Hail!!!
I think he's trying to say that the English are more anti-semitic than most other countries. I think if he looked into it he'd find that attacks on Jews have risen steadily the world over since the intifada in the year 2000.
You would know. Dont synagogues regularly get hit in the OC still?
Sometimes I wonder if people post these ignorant statements to get a rise out of people, or if this is how they actually feel in their heart. I feel sorry for them never the less. They have either had a less than par education or a lousy upbringing. It's one of the two.
Of he fills it up, with the love, of a girl...
The level of ignorance is astounding. No, its true ignorance in most cases
Not how I took it at all. FYI - Anti Semitism in Europe has been around for about as long as the Jews have been in Europe. Lets not scapegoat the Israelis again. This is a European issue, and that, I think, was the posters intent. This issue is not helped by the new ghettoization of the new wave of muslim immigrants in Europe that is going on in many countries, not just England.

Im not trying to prove a point, im just relaying a story that i thought was highly interesting.
( see Biden post for trying to prove a point).
on my, hippie stoner jews....!!! perhaps those high jews should go to Amsterdam...I hear it's safe there...
Throughout the entire U.S... Synogogues are attacked and vandalized with the usual swastika calling cards. Those are white folks doing that.
And yes... Synagogues in Orange County are tagged with swastikas... by neo-nazi White Supremists who want to keep Orange County White.
What's your point?
Hail, Hail!!!
