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.
