Community groups met London’s deputy mayor to discuss antisemitic hate crime at demonstrations and on social media.
Representatives from the Community Security Trust, London Jewish Forum, Jewish Leadership Council and the Board of Deputies met Stephen Greenhalgh following the publication of a hate crime reduction strategy.
The report, released today, said 95 per cent of hate crimes that occurred in London in July were antisemitic incidents in reaction to the Gaza conflict.
Community representatives briefed Mr Greenhalgh on the rise in antisemitism seen in London during the summer and the need for prosecutions, including for online hate speech.
