CST says antisemitic incident reports have tripled and volunteer numbers have soared
It tells Jewish News the rise in antisemitic incidents is "deeply troubling, but sadly not unexpected."
CST has told Jewish News that the number of calls it has received concerning anti-semitic incidents has tripled from “what we would expect for the three days Saturday to Monday.”
It says it expects the number to go even higher once all calls have been processed and verified.
CST Director of Policy Dave Rich tells Jewish News: ““The rise in antisemitic incidents is deeply troubling, but sadly not unexpected. We encourage everyone to report incidents to us and, importantly, to the police, and we are working flat out to support everyone who gets in touch.”
In response to public calls for support, CST adds that: “The unprecedented number of people coming forward to volunteer for CST is a sign of the strength and resilience of our community. We welcome all applications to help protect our community. Please apply at cst.org.uk.”
