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. ...
• 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.
Here is the USA, the number of anti-Semitic incidents actually declined, though slightly, in 2006 from the year before. But 2004 saw the highest number of anti-Jewish incidents since 1994.
My mom and I were talking about this a while back.
I had one such incident in my whole life. I was about 5 and some older kids I was playing with took a dislike to me and called me "Jew boy". That would have been about 57 years ago. Happened in Virginia. We were living down the hill from Thomas Jefferson's place. Which I had no idea about then.
That is it.
I'm lucky to be an American.
here in the Netherlands where the whole world once was passive aggressive it is now more overtly aggressive. Although the mayor of the city is Jewish and has done miracles to calm down the potential rioting youth and Jew haters, there are still more anti-Semetic incidents than there were since WWII.
