SCOTTISH FIGURE DOUBLES IN TWELVE MONTHS
Today Community Security Trust (CST) publishes the Antisemitic Incidents Report 2023, which shows that last year CST recorded 4,103 anti-Jewish hate incidents across the UK, by far the largest-ever total recorded in this country.
This is an increase of 147% from the 1,662 incidents recorded in 2022 and is 81% higher than the previous record total of 2,261 incidents in 2021.
68 antisemetic incidents were reported in Scotland in 2023 – DOUBLE the count for 2022.
CST says it is almost entirely due to the massive surge of antisemitism following the 7 October Hamas terror attack on Israel.

Disgusting and ill thought out reporting. The specific choice to use the Palestinian flag in your example, and the implication that anti-Zionism is anti-semitism. Zionism is not Judaism and everyone has the right and the duty to speak out against Israel. Know why we can tell the two has been conflated? Because the image of graffiti involves the IOF (or IDF if you believe that lie) – comparing them to the nazi army. They are mass murdering a group they’ve enclosed into a small area they have complete control over. Where is the lie?!
The true concern are the far right fascists who are present and are very happy to spew anti-Semitic dogma and swatsikas around Edinburgh and Scotland.
Just say you hate Arabs and find a job you can actually do well.
Hate crime in all forms is abhorrent, cannot be justified and has no place in any civilised society.
