Texas shul siege compels us to confront uncomfortable truths
Last weekend’s hostage taking at the Beth Israel Synagogue in Colleyville, Texas, appears at first sight to be fairly straightforward: it was an act of antisemitic terrorism, of the type that has become depressingly familiar to Jewish communities across the globe. It was another reminder...

Accepting apologies for antisemitism must be judged on actions as well as words

The role of new media in driving oldest hatred
There are three statistics in the new report released by CST this week that, combined, tell us a lot about why last year saw another record total for antisemitic hate incidents in this country. First, the number of online incidents reported to CST rocketed, from...

Social media playing a growing role in hatred
Our latest antisemitic incident report shows the increasingly important role played by social media in the spread of this very old hatred. The statistics, published today and covering the first six months of this year, show that the proportion of antisemitic incidents recorded by CST...
