Anti Semitism Rising




[From article]

One man who came out of a morning prayer service at the synagogue said he’s heard from some people who’d rather say nothing about the graffiti, for fear of encouraging more vandalism.
David Stark, who grew up in the neighborhood but now lives in Israel, calls the graffiti a wake-up call.
“It’s a part and parcel of a rising tide of anti-Semitism. It’s here, it’s on college campuses. It can’t be ignored,” he tells CBS 2’s Derrick Blakley.

The record number of incidents includes everything from violent assaults to verbal abuse, hate-mail and attacks on social media.
The exact figures will not be released until February 2015 but the number is likely to exceed 1,000.
Previously the highest number of anti-Semitic incidents recorded in Britain in a single year in the recent past was 931 in 2009.
The Community Security Trust (CST), a charity that monitors anti-Semitism in Britain, expects the total for 2014 to be the highest since it started collating the figures in 1984.
