A director of the Community Security Trust has said some primary school children have been telling Jewish classmates they “hate all Jews”.
Amanda Bomsztyk, the northern regional director of the Jewish security group, told BBC Radio 4’s Today programme: “We’re having children, as young as junior schools, where they’re having fellow pupils come over to them asking which side they’re on.
“When they say that they’re Jewish, they’re telling them they hate all Jews. This is primary school-age children, so it’s quite abhorrent.”
CST said that in Greater Manchester, reports of antisemitism had risen 880 per cent, with 226 incidents recorded since Hamas’s October 7 atrocities.
