Anti-Semitic incidents rise to fresh record in UK
[Aljazeera] The number of anti-Jewish incidents logged in the United Kingdom last year hit record levels yet again amid accusations the opposition Labour Party had failed to tackle the issue within its ranks, a Jewish advisory body has said.
The Community Security Trust (CST), which advises the UK's estimated 280,000 Jews on security matters, said on Thursday there had been 1,805 incidents in 2019, a rise of 7 percent and the fourth consecutive year the figure had reached a new high.
