YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Four Jewish ambulances were set on fire in North London on Monday morning, in the latest incident to be treated as an antisemitic hate crime by the police.

Sadly, it is just a further example of the increase in violence towards the Jewish community in the UK since the October 7 attacks in 2023.

The Jewish charity, the Community Security Trust (CST), said that last year saw the second-highest annual total of anti-Jewish hate incidents on record.

So, does the Jewish community feel antisemitism has become normalised in the UK, and what can be done to help Jews feel safer?

Niall speaks to Dr Dave Rich, Director of Policy at the CST.
