British Jews suffered the worst level of anti-Semitic hatred in decades following the Gaza conflict in May, a Jewish charity has said.

The Community Security Trust (CST) recorded 1,308 anti-Jewish hate incidents nationwide in the first half of 2021, a 49 percent increase from the 875 incidents recorded in the first six months of 2020.
