New Metropolitan Police figures show a sharp rise in antisemitic hate crimes across London, with 255 incidents recorded in May 2026, up from 148 in April.

The figure is also 172% higher than in May 2025. Most incidents were recorded in Barnet, home to some of the UK's largest Jewish communities, including Golders Green, Hendon and Finchley.

The increase follows a series of antisemitic attacks that have shaken the Jewish community, including arson attacks targeting Jewish institutions and the stabbing of two Jewish men in Golders Green. According to the Community Security Trust (@CST_UK), the rise in hate crimes reflects the reality experienced by many British Jews and demonstrates how acts of violence against Jews can fuel further hostility and intimidation.

These figures are deeply concerning. No community should have to live under the threat of violence, harassment or intimidation because of its identity. The sharp increase underscores the urgent need for continued action to combat antisemitism and ensure that Jewish communities can live safely and openly throughout the United Kingdom.

When Nazi Germany occupied Hague in the Netherlands, the Jewish community there numbered around 18,000 people.

Jews were excluded from public life and had to wear a yellow star.

In 1942, this beautiful Jewish couple chose life even in those difficult times and got married under those circumstances.

Later that year most Jews of the Hague were deported and murdered in Auschwitz and Sobibor.

Today, there are only about 2000 Jews living in Hague.

We will never forget.

The new Dutch antisemitism monitor paints a troubling picture of Jewish life in the Netherlands.

While the number of recorded antisemitic incidents fell from the unprecedented post–October 7 peak of 421 in 2024 to 281 in 2025, the figures remain dramatically higher than pre-war levels, underscoring that antisemitism continues to be a persistent and serious challenge.

One of the report’s most striking findings is the disproportionate targeting of Jews. According to the Dutch Public Prosecution Service, 46 antisemitic criminal discrimination cases were recorded in 2025, accounting for 26% of all registered discrimination offenses, despite Jews making up only around 0.3% of the Dutch population. The report also documents serious incidents, including death threats against Jewish individuals, threats targeting Jewish schools, and repeated harassment of Jewish institutions.

Researchers also identified several worrying trends, including a rise in antisemitic incidents at demonstrations, the growing use of Holocaust analogies in discussions about the war in Gaza, and the repackaging of traditional antisemitic stereotypes through the use of the term “Zionist” in place of “Jew.” The report further warns of a gradual “de-Judaization” of the Holocaust, with commemorations and public discourse increasingly referring simply to “millions of victims” while omitting the fact that six million Jews were systematically murdered. @CIDI_nieuws

In spring 1942, Adolf Eichmann, head of the Jewish Department at the RSHA, decided to deport Dutch Jews to Auschwitz. At the same time, the Germans decreed that all Jews were required to wear stars on their chests.
