Study: Anti-Semitic attacks hit record level in Britain in 2006

By Reuters

LONDON - Anti-Semitic attacks reached record levels in Britain last year and peaked during the conflict in Lebanon, a study showed Thursday.

Race hate incidents - ranging from death threats to physical assault - rose by more than 30 percent to almost 600.

"These are the worst figures we have had in the 23 years since we have been monitoring it," said Mark Gardner of the Community Security Trust, which advises Britain's estimated 300,000 Jews on safety issues.
