Or, as the BBC put it “Anti-Semitic attacks against Jews rise in the UK ”. Although against whom, other than Jews, anti-Semitic attacks could be made is anyone’s guess. Following its usual line of politically correct half-journalism the BBC fails to state that many of these assaults were carried out by militant Muslims, preferring instead to merely suggest so by referring to the Community Security Trust, which believes the 2008 Gaza conflict between Israel and Hamas fuelled much of the increase.
2009 saw a record number of such racially motivated assaults, 55% more than during 2008. Most of the 924 cases consisted of verbal abuse, but 124 violent incidents were also reported as were 37 attacks against Jewish schoolchildren. Included were swastika graffiti, strips of bacon left wrapped around a synagogue door handle, and a Jewish girl being surrounded by 20 odd Asian (Asian?) youths chanting “Kill all Jews” and “Death to Jews” in Birmingham.
God, I hate this country at times . . . .
