Holocaust Memorial Day: 'Unprecedented rise' in antisemitic incidents, charity finds

Antisemitic incidents referencing the Holocaust increased by 104% across the UK in 2023, new figures obtained by Sky News show.

The Community Security Trust (CST), a charity that protects British Jews from antisemitism, last year received 955 reports of Holocaust-related antisemitism, defined as incidents containing some kind of reference to the Holocaust, Nazis, Hitler or swastikas.

That number is more than double the 469 incidents reported in 2022.

The CST charity said incidents involving Holocaust denial also rose significantly in 2023 - increasing by 268% on the year before.

Not supporting Israel isn’t anti Semitic. Not supporting a genocide isn’t anti Semitic.

If i exercise legal free speech here, my account will probably get banned for hate speech.. repeating what the reality is on the ground has become grounds for settlement.

Criticism of Saudi Arabia is not Islamophobic
Criticism of Israel is not Anti-Semitic
Criticism of India is not anti- Hinduism

[Dreadly]

It is not anti-semitic to seek the truth.

[punchy]

Of course a Jewish charity would think this way 🙄

[RogerSmith]

No people are waking up and are fed up with their bullsht

[vincentvanmeow]

It’s so true it’s illegal to investigate

[truthoverlies]

BASED! Remember ppl..revisionism isnt the same as denial.

How do people who survived the holocaust feel about what is now happening in Palestine?

[umarkhan-ocux]

What about the Palestinians, they have been suffering for the last 70 years languishing in the open air prison called Gaza and have refugee all over the middle east, people living with out hope, forgotten by the FREE WORLD, at the expense of Israel 😢😢

[forlatagate]

Everyone has suffered throughout history, everyone can cry about their past but they don't, they get on with life, unfortunately some people live in the past and won't stop crying, poor me poor me, I'm being attacked

Semitic `has nothing to do with Judaism. Semitics are group of people who speak different Semitic languages including Arabic and Amharic. Semitic people are black/brown and do have black/ brown skin, black/brown eyes and black hair. So, how come Judaism which is a religion becomes synonym with Semitic people which is a specific human race?

[JohnFelinn]

A year ago if someone mentioned Jewish people or Israel I would immediately associate it with the atrocities of the holocaust. Now when I hear the name “Israel” I associate it with the atrocities it has committed against the Palestinians. What a difference a year makes.

[cocoloco]

and sky news contributes to this phenomenon every hour of every day.

I wonder if there’s any link to immigration?

[queenie]

There seems to be more survivors every year. There was only a lady survivor last year, apparently. America used her to make AI version for younger generation to ask questions, apparently. Yonger generation couldn't care less 🤦🏼‍♀️😆

[pallascat]

There's an awful lot of war crime denial going on right now.

It is not anti semitic to speak against isnotreal regarding the gen0cide. That is called spitting facts.

It could be argued there is a precident
