Figures released today by CST show that January's Israel-Hamas conflict continued the pattern whereby Middle East events trigger outbreaks of antisemitism against British Jews. This is a global phenomenon that appears to be intensifying in Britain and elsewhere around the world. Indeed, from January to June of this year, CST recorded 609 such incidents: more than in the whole of last year, and more than the 598 incidents in 2006, which was the worst year that we had previously seen.

Britain has seen an unprecedented number of anti-Semitic "hate crimes," with more incidents recorded so far in 2009 than in any previous entire year, a Jewish advisory body said on Friday.
Up to end-June, there were 609 anti-Semitic incidents ranging from verbal abuse to extreme violence, compared with 276 in the same period last year.
The Community Security Trust (CST), which advises Britain's estimated 300,000 Jews on safety issues, said it was the highest number it had recorded since it began collating figures in 1984.
Israel's Gaza offensive against Hamas militants which was launched at the end of December was the main cause, it said, with many of the incidents taking place in January and including direct references to the fighting.
YES: BLAME ZIONISTS AND ISRAEL! IF ISRAELIS DEFEND THEMSELVES, THEN BRITISHERS MAY ATTACK BRITISH JEWS.
BY ACCEPTING THIS LOGIC BRITS AND EUROPEANS BECOME COMPLICIT WITH THE ARABS.
