THE ALGEMEINER

Hate crimes against members of the largest Jewish community in London almost doubled in 2015, according to statistics released on Wednesday by Scotland Yard.

Hackney’s Stamford Hill district, which is home to 30,000 Hassidic Jews, had a record number of antisemitic incidents, a total of 122 in the last 12 months. This adds up to one anti-Jewish crime every three days.

A spokesperson for Shomrim, the area’s Jewish neighborhood watch group, told the Evening Standard the group assisted in more than 20 arrests connected to antisemitic crimes in the area in 2015. Shomrim president Rabbi Herschel Gluck said the figures are “of deep concern.”

“While this might be explained by some as being a result of better reporting, it still demonstrates the depth and persistence of this grave problem, which needs to be urgently and properly dealt with,” he said.

Throughout the year, schools and public spaces in the north London borough have been defaced with swastikas and antisemitic slogans; anti-Jewish leaflets have been distributed; and neo-Nazis have shouted racist abuse at passersby, the Evening Standard reported.

Community leaders believe the number of antisemitic attacks in Stamford Hill are even higher than statistics reveal. They insist crimes, such as a tire-slashing spree in November 2014, should have been classified as antisemitic. The assailant of the tire-slashing rampage, UK native Huseiyn Seyfi, was cleared of committing racially or religiously aggravated criminal damage by a jury. Shomrim coordinator Barry Bard said many in Stamford Hill still “believe the attacks were targeted and antisemitic.”

The Algemeiner previously reported on white supremacist Joshua Bonehill and his planned anti-Jewish rallies in Stamford Hill earlier this year before he was jailed in December for publishing material to incite racial hatred.

  1. Hope there’s more 🙂 and for sure Trump should be arrested for inciting Racial hatred … All Repugs should be arrested for disturbing the evolutionary chain.

  2. @Darwin26: “…All Repugs should be arrested for disturbing the evolutionary chain…” Almost sounds like you believe most right-wingers come from genetically inferior stock? If that be the case, well, I would have to agree! 😀
    Let us also not forget what our famous leader from the rear, Ms. Merkel, once said: Merkel calls Christianity world’s ‘most persecuted’ religion

  3. I know this is from Scotland Yard but those who have been ‘wise’ for a while will know how Jewish organisations will claim that attacks have risen by a double percentage figure each year.
    To give an extremly conservative figure for the mean average Jewish organisations claim that ‘anti-semetic attacks’ increase by 20% year on year. Lets use 1992 as a base year which was around the time the Community Security Trust started.
    1×1.2^22 = 55.206
    Does that mean that, in this simple example, that Anti-Semetic attacks have risen by 55 times between 1992 to 2015?
    This begs the question what is an ‘attack’? The muslim organisation, ‘Tell Mama’, which has had input from individuals involved in the Community Security Trust and Board of Deputies was found a few years back to be using Facebook Posts, most in response to the Lee Rigby beheading, as evidence of ‘Islamaphobic attacks’.
    Either the UK Police Force and the government are secret Anti-Semites covering these ‘attacks’ up or the top brass of the Jewish community are telling porkies…

  4. Wow now tyre slashing is antisemitic?
    The assailant of the tire-slashing rampage, UK native Huseiyn Seyfi, was cleared of committing racially or religiously aggravated criminal damage by a jury. Shomrim coordinator Barry Bard said many in Stamford Hill still “believe the attacks were targeted and antisemitic.”
    Yes they were targeted attacks alright ….. against tyres – now if you could prove that the tyres were fitted to Volvo’s you may have a really weak case that he targeted Jews.
    Lee Rigby was not beheaded – he was hit by a car and hacked by the two “useful idiots” but not decapitated;
    http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2515493/Soldier-Lee-Rigby-murdered-mutilated-decapitated-Woolwich-attack-court-hears.html
    Even Wikipedia makes the same claim.
    Now as for Islamaphobic attacks – that’s a good question, although Tell mama were using on line attacks to boost the figures and the “Radical Muslim Finder general” Andrew Gilligan went on and on about this i am sure he would be the first to claim antisemitic attacks if the same had happened to the chosenites.
    Here’s Andrews Blog;

    as you can see he has a fixation on Muslims … maybe he should convert!

  5. UNA RELIGIÓN VALE TANTO COMO LA DOCTRINA QUE PROMUEVE, KRISNA, BUDA Y CRISTO PROMOVIERON LA DOCTRINA DE LA TRASCENDENCIA HUMANA; EL JUDAÍSMO NO PROMUEVE UNA DOCTRINA TRASCENDENTAL, SINO QUE PROMUEVE UNA IDEOLOGÍA SUPREMACISTA, A FIN DE SIN ESCRÚPULO ALGUNO HACER DE ISRAEL LA PRINCIPAL DE LAS NACIONES. ES POR ELLO, QUE PROMUEVE ANTI-VALORES ADUCIENDO QUE SON PALABRA DE DIOS. EL SCHULCHAN ARUKH (La mesa puesta): http://librosdeodio.net/schulchan%20arukh.pdf

  6. Yes, Repugs are a spike in the evolutionary chain and have an expanded/distended Narcissistic Authoritarian gene and a true absence of the Empathy gene that makes them more like carnivorous scumbags than human beings… sorry if i was being tentative in the previous post.
