Today, we have released shocking new polling of British Jews which reveals a number of alarming insights. • Only one-third (34%) of British Jews believe that Jews have a long-term future in the UK, and half of the Jewish community has considered leaving Britain in the past two years due to antisemitism. Among 18-24-year-olds, it is two-thirds (67%). The main reason is the surge in antisemitism since 7th October 2023, cited by 76% of respondents. • Three-quarters of British Jews are dissatisfied with how their local police force has been policing anti-Israel marches in their local cities. Only one-tenth are satisfied. Only 5% of British Jews have confidence in Met Commissioner Sir Mark Rowley who has presided over the highest rates of antisemitism in memory. • The vast majority – 85% – of British Jews are dissatisfied with London Mayor Sadiq Khan’s performance in relation to the Jewish community since 7th October 2023. Fewer than one in ten (9%) are satisfied. • Nearly three-quarters – 72% – of British Jews think that the Green Party is too tolerant of antisemitism among their MPs, councillors, members and supporters. This is closely followed by the Labour Party with 71%. This is the highest figure ever recorded for the Greens, and it is the first time that another party has overtaken Labour in our polling. For their first time, a third party has also crossed the majority threshold: the SNP, at 52%. • Among broadcasters, the BBC scored the worst in terms of its coverage of matters of Jewish interest, with 92% of British Jews rating its coverage as unfavourable. • Only 3% of British Jews are confident that if a Jewish student reported an antisemitic incident on campus, the university's administration would take appropriate action. Among young Jews it is 6%. • 95% of British Jews consider the chant ‘from the River to the Sea, Palestine will be free’ to be an antisemitic call to destroy the Jewish state. Only 2% do not.
