Antisemitic incidents reached record highs in the UK in 2021, says charity

Antisemitic abuse hit a record high in 2021, rising by a third from the previous year, a charity has said.

The Community Security Trust (CST), that records anti-Jewish incidents, recorded a total of 2,255 in 2021, up 34% from 1,684 the previous year.

There were peaks in the numbers reported in the summer at a time of heightened conflict between Israel and Palestine, with 661 in May alone, a record monthly total.
