Anti-Semitic hate crime rose at nearly nine times the rate of anti-Muslim offences in the wake of the October 7 Hamas terror attacks on Israel, official figures show.
The number of anti-Semitic hate crimes more than doubled, from 1,543 to 3,282 in the year to March 2024, a 113 per cent increase and the highest on record.
More than eight in 10 of the hate crimes were committed after the October 7 attack, rising from 95 recorded by police in September to 577 in October alone.
