Overview

  • A YouGov survey for the Campaign Against Antisemitism found 21% of UK adults agree with four or more antisemitic statements, the highest level in a decade and nearly double 2021.
  • Nearly 45% say Israel treats Palestinians like the Nazis treated Jews, rising to about 60% among 18–24-year-olds, with only 31% of that age group affirming Israel’s right to exist as a Jewish homeland.
  • The Community Security Trust recorded 1,521 antisemitic incidents in the first half of 2025, the second-highest six-month total on record, including 76 violent assaults reported for that period.
  • An estimated 60,000–70,000 people joined the Campaign Against Antisemitism’s London march, led by Chief Rabbi Ephraim Mirvis with speakers including Gideon Falter, Phil Rosenberg, Michael Gove and Richard Tice, calling for stronger institutional action.
  • Public opinion on pro‑Palestine demonstrations is split, with most respondents saying the marches achieve little and a majority favoring organisers covering policing and cleanup costs, as debate continues over the survey’s scale that includes anti‑Zionist statements.
