Number of anti-Semitic hate crimes across Britain rose dramatically in the weeks after outbreak of Israel-Hamas war - as Jewish charities condemn 'shocking' surge in hatred

Daily Mail  

The number of antisemitic hate crimes across Britain increased dramatically in the weeks after the outbreak of the Israel-Hamas war, new figures revealed today. Greater Manchester Police saw the number of anti-Jewish hate crimes rise five times, while the British Transport Police saw offences spike more than tenfold. Iman Atta, the organisation's director, said there had been a 'significant spike in anti-Muslim hate since the atrocities on October 7', adding: 'The nature of many offline cases sent to our service is often overtly racist - targeting Arab and Palestinian communities with dehumanising slurs, anti-Muslim slurs or in some cases targeting their homes, or when speaking Arabic in public, as well as targeting Muslim communities across all ages and gender. The Muslim Council of Britain said: 'Despite the extremely low reporting rate from Muslim communities, the huge increase in Islamophobic hate crimes recorded with the police reflects what we are seeing from third-party reporting groups.
