Increasing Number Of Anti-Semitic Attacks Taking Place.

[anotheoldgit]

Strange for some reason it does not report who are carrying out these attacks.

Can one gain an assumption from this snippet?

/// The findings come at a time of heightened alert among Jewish communities after terrorist attacks in Europe. ///

[-Talbot-]

There has not been any significant increase in anti semitic attacks.

But there has been a huge increase in the number of anti semitic attacts being recorded.




So have these attacks been happening then Gromit but not recorded... or have the Jewish people started inventing attacks?

Yes you must have a word with your friend Gromit.

[sp1814]

I think Gromit already knows.

I suspect that others do not.

But let's get back to the topic at hand...I am assuming that these attacks are on the increase, but do you know how they are manifesting themselves?

I can't remember a time when Jewish cemeteries weren't vandalised (i mean that - from way back in the 70s, we had thugs doing that). Are the latest attacks still in the form of vandalism, or are we talking about physical assaults?

[sp1814]

-Talbot-

There may be some truth in that proposition (ie. that attacks are now being reported more).

We can't know for sure, but I would lean towards believing that in this case, it's the overall number of cases that's on the rise.

I say this because I don't think there's been a time in recent history where the Jewish community have had to fear approaching the police...at least, not as much as other communities who face attacks, both verbal and physical.

I am not point scoring.I merely predicted a denial was forthcoming on a disturbing increase of attacks on British Jewry that even police chiefs are not denying but Gromit dismisses as a cynical attempt to procure a H.O. grant

////Course it is not true in the eyes of the blinkered here that we are awash with Islamic followers here who happen to want to wipe Israel off the map.///

So far the ground reality is that Israel is trying to wipe all of the Palestinians off their homeland and you don't have to be a rocket scientist to know that.

The Gaza situation inevitably stirred up some tension and there were frequent protest groups out around the city, pretty much every weekend going back a bit and a fair few "stand offs" between separate groups with police forming a barrier in-between.

Some businesses were also targeted. I can imagine some of the incidents coming from these, given the proximity to each other and plenty of police around to report it to.

Eve,

That again is the Community Security reporting an increase. They have gone around looking for it. There has not been anymore prosecutions as a result of the so called increase in anti semitic crimes.

"So far the ground reality is that Israel is trying to wipe all of the Palestinians off their homeland and you don't have to be a rocket scientist to know that"

I could be wrong but is there some very dark humour in there?

*** Here’s the thing. I will bet every penny I have and more besides that virtually all of the anti-Semitic attacks in this country — and in France and Germany and Belgium — have been perpetrated by Muslims. And because they have been perpetrated by Muslims, that fact will simply not be reported, even when it is plainly obvious that the attackers were Muslim. ***

At last someone brave enough to answer the my question.
