Since the fighting between Hamas and Israel last summer, many British Jews have felt uneasy. During the fighting, anti-Semitic incidents in Britain flared. 2014 was the worst year for anti-Semitic incidents since records started to be kept 30 years ago, and July was the worst ever single month. In London alone, according to police statistics, July was the worst ever month for any kind of hate crime and 95% of it was recorded as anti-Semitic hate crime.
We watched as #HitlerWasRight trended on Twitter and on our streets they chanted “Hamas, Hamas, Jews to the gas.” A group of us decided that enough was enough. We rallied thousands of people outside the Royal Courts of Justice to call for a zero-tolerance crackdown on anti-Semitic hate crime. Since then I have held high-level meetings with the government, police and prosecutors.
