Depressing.
Quote:
Overall, the trust, which has been recording anti-Jewish hate crime for 30 years, logged 1,168 anti-Semitic incidents in 2014 – a 118 per cent increase on the previous year.
The report cites dozens of individual cases of abuse fuelled by a combination of Islamist, far right racist and extreme anti-Israeli motivations.
It includes numerous examples of threats and insults, children abused on streets and jokes about murdering Jews.
It cited how swastikas and the term “Jewish slag” were daubed on gravestones at a Jewish cemetery in Manchester in February while in September a man was battered with a glass and a baseball bat and subjected to extreme anti-Semitic insults.

If I may be so bold I can speculate on at least one of the causes of the uptick.

Per head of population, there were four times more hate crimes against Jewish targets than against Muslims. One Jewish MP, Lee Scott, received five death threats.
“They were saying things like, 'You Jewish pig, we’re going to stone you to death’,” he says. “Always on the phone, and always on Monday evenings to my parliamentary office when they knew my staff had left.”
In parts of Britain, this newspaper has found, anti-Semitism is open, unashamed – and supported by the taxpayer. Only 25 miles north of Barnet, in Luton, one of the town’s main mosques, the Luton Islamic Centre, publishes statements on its website describing Jews as the “brethren of swine and pigs” and calling for “victory over the Jews and the rest of the enemies of Islam”.

We all see so many cries of Islamophobia it's bordering on passe now, while simultaneously those making this claim seem the main offenders as far as anti-semitism goes, which isn't surprising given the holy book they obsess over considers Jews to be sub-human.
It's depressing how those in power spent so long pandering to one minority group and actively ignored many things, including this.
This is a scenario repeated in France and the Netherlands that I know of, with increasing Jewish emigration from them. Seems with Muslims comes anti-semitism, again not surprising given the Koran demands it.
I hope this becomes more of an issue but of course it won't. Thanks to demographics, in no small part taxpayer sponsored procreation, and mass immigration there are far more votes in the Muslim population than the Jewish one now.
Troubles me that the party that is likely to hold sway in Parliament come May is led by a Jew yet will likely continue to turn a blind eye to this. Truly many of our politicians prostitute themselves.
