Antisemitic abuse in British universities has reached record levels, according to a new report.

Verbal abuse, threats and assaults against Jewish students surged after the Oct 7 terrorist attack, reaching the highest recorded levels for a single academic year, it says.

Reported incidents include Jewish students being pelted with eggs after an event with the Chief Rabbi, and swastika graffiti found in lavatories at the National Union of Students conference.

The findings are revealed in the latest campus antisemitism report by the Community Security Trust (CST), a charity protecting British Jews from terrorism and antisemitism.

The CST has documented antisemitic attacks on British Jews since 1984, and its third biennial campus report shows a record 272 incidents in 2023/24, more than triple that of previous years.
