Antisemitic hate crimes in the UK have fallen by 12.5 per cent year on year, according to Home Office statistics released today – even though overall the total remains at a historic high.
The number of incidents between 2024 and 2025 stands at 2,873 – down from 3,282 recorded between 2023 and 2024.
These figures mean that 106 hate crimes have been reported for every 10,000 Jews living in the UK. Last year, this figure stood at 121.
Anti-Jewish hate crimes now represent 29 per cent of total hate crimes; last year they represented 33 per cent.
Despite the decrease, this year's figure is still the second highest since records began and nearly twice the 2022-2023 – or pre-October 7 – figure of 1,510.
Board of Deputies Vice President Andrew Gilbert has said: “These figures released today just show what every British Jew already knows - antisemitic hate crimes in the UK remain at a historic high following Hamas' terrorist onslaught on 7 October 2023.
"Nobody who saw the deeply offensive and insensitive protests on the second anniversary of the massacre could doubt it.
"We applaud the crucial work of the Community Security Trust (CST) and other communal partners in keeping us safe.
"Following the murderous terror attack in Manchester, it is now clearer than ever that the government must act to ensure the law is enforced on antisemitic hate speech, that legislation is strengthened where necessary, and that antisemitism is tackled in wider society.”
