London’s Metropolitan Police have recorded a staggering 1,350 per cent increase in antisemitic crimes since the start of the month as the events in Israel continue to have dire ramifications across Europe.by The Met on Friday showed that there were 218 antisemitic offences were recorded in London from the start of the month to October 18th. This represented a “significant” rise over the same time period last year when just 15 incidents were recorded.
The Met said that despite their increased patrols in heavily Jewish areas, they have seen a drastic increase of 1,353 per cent in antisemitic offences this month, which they said included “abuse directed at individuals or groups in person or online, racially or religiously motivated criminal damage and other offences.”
In response to the sharp increase in antisemitic attacks, the Union of Jewish Students said that younger Jews have been avoiding wearing religious symbols in public to avoid being targeted for attack. Similar warnings have been made in Germany, which has also seen a rise in antisemitism following the October 7th Hamas terror attacks on Israel.The release of the statistics came ahead of a large pro-Palestinian protest in London.
