"the Community Support Trust advise that:
"Antisemitic incidents throughout Britain are likely to rise as tensions increase relative to the ongoing conflict between Israel and the Palestinians. Volatile anti-Israel demonstrations have taken place or are due to take place in many British towns and cities, increasing the potential for incidents to occur. CST have noted an escalation in Antisemitic incidents, information gathering and suspicious activity following previous Middle East conflicts."
Today I read at the JC website that:
"A gang of pro-Palestinian demonstrators rampaged through the heart of the Jewish community on Wednesday evening, attacking businesses and assaulting a motorist.
Police and the CST have increased patrols and security following the incidents in Golders Green, North-West London, amid concerns of further trouble during Shabbat.
The group of around 15 men had been demonstrating in support of Palestinians in Gaza but then made their way along Golders Green Road, attacking the man as he got into his car.
They attempted to gain access to a number of kosher restaurants and Jewish businesses, and at one point entered Solly’s restaurant, but were thrown out by staff and diners.
...
Earlier this week, the slogans “Jihad for Israel” and “Jihad the only solution for Palestine” were daubed on buildings in Stamford Hill, Golders Green and Manchester, and outside the main entrance of Finchley Synagogue."
Once again I feel I should ask - Is it not odd how the Muslim community cry out that "not all Muslims are terrorists" but seem happy to let their community associate all Jews with the actions of Israel.
