Police chiefs have “turned a blind eye” or even “looked for reasons” not to pursue charges against anti-Semites and instead spent their time investigating “nonsense”, a charity boss has said.
Gideon Falter, chief executive of the Campaign Against Anti-Semitism (CAAS), said that in the past year his charity had launched half a dozen private prosecutions in cases where the police refused to act.
He said since October 7 2023 – when Hamas terrorists invaded Israel and massacred over 1,200 people – there has been an explosion in anti-Jewish hatred, but police were routinely declining to pass cases on to the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS).
Sounds familiar.
