Over 250 anti-semitic attacks in 4 weeks in the UK....

It's a huge rise...

A sharp rise in the number of Jews facing anti-Semitic attacks has been recorded by a charity.

London suffered a surge of hate crime following the violence in Gaza last December.

The Jewish charity Community Security Trust, who advise Britain's Jews on how to protect themselves, have taken over 250 reports in just four weeks.

Prominent British Muslim scholars and progressive thinkers have denounced the attacks, saying British Jews "should not be held responsible" for Israel's actions in Gaza.

Most of the incidents have happened in North London including assaults and attempted arson - anti-Semitic graffiti has been sprayed throughout the city, sickening slogans include: "Kill Jews" and "Jews are scumbags."

Police are liaising closely with Jewish groups and have set up "reassurance patrols" in Jewish areas such as Golders Green, North Finchely, Stanmore, Stanford Hill and St John's Wood.

Three youths tried to torch Brondesbury Park Synagogue in Willesden on the day Israeli troops entered the Palestinian territory.

On New Year's Eve, a man was pulled from his car just as he was about to drive off and assaulted by three men whom he described as being of Arab appearance. The victim did not suffer any serious injury.

A gang of youths chanting anti-Semitic slogans, waving flags and intimidating locals tried to enter restaurants and shops in Golders Green.

In Manchester, barriers have been erected around the King David High School and access has been restricted to passholders.
