Most British Jews Believe They Dont Have A Long Term Future In The Uk Survey Finds

Antisemitism is a serious concern in the U.K. — and any form of hatred or violence must be unequivocally condemned — but there is no compelling evidence that British Jews face an existential threat as a community. Robust anti-discrimination laws, meaningful political representation and a rich network of cultural and religious institutions provide strong safeguards and support. While security challenges exist, they are being actively addressed by both Jewish organizations and government authorities.
