Jihad for Israel

Synagogues and other Jewish communal buildings across the UK are increasing their level of security following a surge in attacks after the recent Israeli assault in Gaza.
According to the Community Security Trust (CST), there have been 24 recorded incidents since December 29 with 19 of them taking place in London and include graffiti saying kills Jews as well as an arson attack to burn down Brondesbury Park Synagogue in north west London.
"There has been a significant rise in the number of anti-Semitic incidents, especially when compared with what is usually a very quiet time of year for racist, anti-Jewish attacks," said CST spokesman Mark Gardner. "It is a pattern with which we and the police are now sadly familiar, whereby hysteria is whipped up against Israel, and British Jews then suffer a wave of anti-Semitism".
