UK Peer Warns Jewish Community under "Constant Attack" as Anti-Semitism Incidents Increase

The Independent website in England reports today that the Jewish community in the United Kingdom (UK) feels under "constant attack," with increasing incidents of anti-Semitism.

Lord Mitchell, a Labor peer, warned stickers, such as "Death to Jews," had been displayed at some of the UK's leading university campuses and had been "slow to be removed."

He noted, "Many Jewish friends have said to me that they felt more frightened, and more threatened, than at any time in their lives."

Lord Mitchell added, "All synagogues have constant security patrols and most Jewish social events have trained security personnel prominently watching and checking."
