Thousands Protest Government Inaction on Rising Antisemitism

Jewish community leaders criticize UK authorities for failing to address a surge in antisemitic hate crimes since October 2023.

An estimated 32,000 people marched from the Royal Courts of Justice to Parliament Square in London to demand stronger action against antisemitism.
The Campaign Against Antisemitism (CAA) reported that antisemitic hate crimes have quadrupled over the past year, making Jews the most targeted faith minority in the UK.
Protesters accused two successive UK governments of failing to respond adequately to rising antisemitism and extremism in British society.
The CAA highlighted the influence of pro-Palestinian demonstrations following the October 2023 Hamas attack on Israel, which they claim unleashed widespread antisemitic rhetoric and actions.
Campaigners criticized lenient sentencing, insufficient arrests, and a lack of accountability within institutions like the Metropolitan Police, calling for immediate government intervention.
