Rise in antisemitism makes 2012 third worst year on record

Source: THE JEWISH CHRONICLE ONLINE

Antisemitic incidents in Britain rose slightly last year, making 2012 the third worst year on record.

Figures released by the Community Security Trust show there were 640 reported attacks against Jews, up from 608 the previous year and representing a national increase of five per cent year-on-year.

CST said around 100 incidents had been reported as part of a new programme run with the Metropolitan Police in London, with the two organisations sharing all reports of antisemitism.

The more efficient reporting system led to a 55 per cent increase in incidents recorded by CST in the capital.

Interesting comment. Last I heard, they don't want Jews to be in Israel, either.

I hardly even get surprised anymore when I see stats like this. 55% increase in incidents - just fucking depressing.

Sure miss the kumbya of the 1960's when I wasn't afraid to walk into churches because I might get shot because I looked wrong.
