Anti-Semitism Increase

Capitalism is a system full of conflicts and hatreds as shown by Anti-Semitic incidents reaching a record level in the UK last year, according to the Community Security Trust. A report by the trust, which provides security for Britain's Jewish community and monitors anti-Semitism, said the number of incidents had more than doubled to 1,168 in 2014. 'Anti-Semitic reactions to the conflict in Israel and Gaza" were the biggest factor behind the rise, the trust said. It recorded 314 incidents in July - the highest ever recorded in a single month. .....The report said the increase was most marked in London - where the number of incidents rose by 137% to 583 - and in Greater Manchester, where the number rose by 79% to 309. It said there were 81 violent anti-Semitic assaults across the UK in 2014.' (BBC News, 5 February) RD
