The Unseen Toll of Antisemitism: A Year's Worth of Fear and Uncertainty The UK marks the anniversary of the Heaton Park synagogue attack with a stark reminder from Rabbi Daniel Walker that the Jewish community faces not only an increase in antisemitic hate crimes, but also an erosion of trust in those who are supposed to protect them.
The rabbi's assertion that the community is now in a harder position than it was immediately after the attack is a damning indictment of the government's response to this growing menace.
Violent hate crimes targeting Jewish people have risen sharply: nearly two thirds more since 2022, according to a BBC Freedom of Information request.
