No idea but if the anti semitism shown by some members here is representative then there is a general rise in anti semitic feelings across the board.
There is no surge in anti-semitic crimes.

What has happened is that a Jewish quasi Police force has been set up called the Community Security Trust (CST). The CST have been patrolling Jewish areas and encouraging complaints. Any comment that criticises Israel is recorded as an Anti-Semitic crime. So if anyone says Israel is treating the Palestinians badly, they are recorded as being anti-Semitic.

The CST have also infultrated the police. They have insisted on meetings with the police, who then agree to hearing the CST's reports. That often results in extra police being assigned to Jewish areas. When this was done in Manchester, instead of reducing Anti-Semiticism, there was a 300% increase. The increase was not genuine, it was zealous cateloguing of every they perceived as anti-Semitic.

http://www.thecst.org.uk
// CST provides physical security, training and advice for the protection of British Jews. CST assists victims of antisemitism and monitors antisemitic activities and incidents. CST represents British Jewry to Police, Government and media on antisemitism and security. //

All these reports of a huge increase in Anti-Semiticism all come from the CST.
Imagine the fuss if the Muslims set up their own security force nationwide.

There is no need, they are not being attacked on the scale that the Jews apparently are.
Indeed. Imagine the fuss if we had Muslims patrolling the streets of London setting up "No Go Zones", harassing non- Muslims in those London areas where the Muslims are trying to implement their version of Sharia Law. Imagine the fuss indeed.!!!!
So what you're saying Gromit is that the rise in anti-semitism is basically all the fault of the jews? Interesting use of lateral thinking there.

Please read again. I am saying there has be NO significant rise in Anti-Semiticism. I am not blaming Jews for the rise, because there hasn't been one.

This very organise pressure group has been successful in diverting police manpower and resources to their areas. They have done that by inflating crime figures, and then bullying the police into putting more patrols in those areas.
It is often increased reporting that is the cause when a significant change is noticed, this has happened with other crimes. If you make people aware and encourage them to report it a good number will. It doesn't mean the real underlying numbers have increased (indeed they may have decreased, you simply would not no).

So I would tend to side with Gromit on this one.
The Community Security Trust (CST)
existed for 15 years largely on private donations. Then in 2012 they hit it big by convincing Michael Gove to give them £2million of taxpayers money. There first years work instead of reducing anti-Semitism resulted in a huge increase (if you believe them).

The Chairman of CST is Gerald Ronson. You may remember him, he was one of the Guinness Four. He has a conviction for making up figures.

He was convicted in August 1990 of one charge of conspiracy, two of false accounting, and one of theft, and was fined £5 million and given a one-year jail sentence.

The real scandal here is why is the Government handed out £2 million to an organisation run by someone with a conviction for false accounting.

And why does the Charity Commission allow him to be Chairman of a Charity using public funds?

Perhaps its people who don't like Jews?

That could be anyone from Muslims to traditional right wing racists.

Unfortunately Jews seem to be attacked whenever they go in the world.

I've always been genuinely perplexed by this.

Oh dear, the old excuse could be used that the Daily Mail is lying, but since the Guardian, the Telegraph, the BBC, the Independent and the Community Security Trust, all say the same, it must be only Gromit that is speaking the truth, how he must hate the Jews.

Oh how you like to continuously roll out that word 'racist' attached of course to it's bed fellow 'Right Wing'

Jews are not a race, so you would have been more correct to simply put Anti-Semitics.

I was trying to differentiate regular right wingers like yourself, with the moronic underclass who have traditionally attacked Jews because their hearts are filled with hatred and their heads are filled with...air.

Forgive me for using the 'R' word.

What word would you use to describe people who hate Jews for absolutely no reason other than their Juadism.

...and more to the point, why do right wing groups hate Jews so much...???
AOG,

All the media are reporting the same group, the Community Security Trust, run by an ex-jailbird with convictions for false accounting.

I am not sure why you want to believe there has been a massive increase in anti-Semitism. Unless you are blaming just one section of the population for it.

I do not hate Jews. I have Jewish relations.
AOG

I thought 'antisemitic' was something more specific than 'Jew hater'?

Does your average thug actually know what a Semite is?

The point I'm trying to make is...I can understand the antipathy between Jews and Muslims...

...but why the hatred from the BNP?
//Unfortunately Jews seem to be attacked whenever they go in the world.

quite simple. If you go about in closed communities telling everyone you are the chosen and they are inferior you will upset a great number of people, some of whom will respond disproportionately.

A dying number now but a fair few soldiers bore the brunt of the jews after the war. My late FIL was one of them. What they did made him dislike them forever. This will, of course, filter down generations.

Jews could do a lot more to help themselves, as could other religious communities.
//...but why the hatred from the BNP? //

Probably because many of them idolize the Nazi's.

Do they really know why they hate them apart from that? - I doubt it.

Your post of 14:35 genuinely surprised me. I have absolutely no idea that Jews were viewed like that after the war. But then again, as I found out by watching 'The Eichmann Show' (which was brilliant, by the way), the world didn't know about concentration camps until way after WWII.

My attitude to the Jews is basically, "You've been through a whole load of crap - you have nothing but sympathy from me".
AOG

youngmafbog makes an interesting point - we've seen a rise in Neo-Nazism in Europe...do you think that groups may have formed in the UK?
