Part 4/9:
Students and young adults within the Jewish community are not exempt from the rising tide of anti-Semitism. Many have experienced blatant hostility at universities, as evidenced by testimonies from those attending protests against anti-Jewish sentiment in locations like Oxford. The atmosphere has been described as increasingly hostile, with accusations of Jews “weaponizing anti-Semitism” and being made to feel unwelcome in places that should foster inclusivity and learning.
This cultural shift has significant implications for the future of British Jewry. The accumulation of negative experiences contributes to the perception that community members may need to reconsider their long-term presence in the UK altogether.
