The terror attsck on the Heaton Park Synagogue in October last year sparked the highest daily totals for anti-Jewish hate incidents recorded throughout 2025, with 40 cases logged on the day of the attack and 40 on the day after it.
Over half of these 80 incidents were antisemitic reactions to the violence, celebrating it, dismissing it, or spinning conspiratorial narratives about it.
Heaton Park Synagogue in Manchester was the target of a terrorist attack which resulted in the deaths of Melvin Cravitz and Adrian Daulby, with three others seriously injured. This was the first fatal antisemitic terrorist attack on British soil since CST began recording incidents in 1984.
The report from the The Community Security Trust (CST), which monitors antisemitism in the UK published today, shows 3,700 instances of anti-Jewish hate across the UK in 2025.
This is the second highest annual total ever reported to CST. It is a 4% rise from the 3,556 antisemitic incidents in 2024, and second only to the 4,298 antisemitic incidents logged in 2023. CST recorded 1,662 antisemitic incidents in 2022, and 2,261 in 2021.
For the first time ever, CST recorded over 200 cases of anti-Jewish hate in every calendar month in 2025. Prior to October 2023, monthly incident totals exceeding 200 had only been reported on CST on five occasions, each coinciding with past periods when Israel was at war.
