Antisemitism: Why British Jews Are Afraid

Judith Moritz examines how abuse, intimidation and violence aimed at Jewish communities has become more widespread, leaving many British Jews feeling fearful and under threat.

Reports of antisemitic incidents have risen in the UK over the last few years, leaving many British Jews feeling fearful and under threat. In October 2025, a knifeman tried to enter Heaton Park synagogue - two members of the congregation were killed.

Judith Moritz examines how abuse, intimidation and violence aimed at Jewish communities has become more widespread, hearing from the government’s independent reviewer of terror legislation who believes the normalisation of antisemitism makes violence more likely.
