"The UK has 300,000 Jews and had 532 incidents in 2004" Which is less than 1 in 563. So as a Jew living in Great Britain in 2004 you had a 1 in 563 chance of being racially abused? And you think that makes it an anti-semitic country?

"And you think that makes it an anti-semitic country?"

Yes.

If 2003 was a UK record since the 1940's, and 2004 was 25% above that, what point are you making?

I think that there has been a huge increase in anti-Semitism judging by the numbers which are invariably undereported. That increase is mirrored in much of Europe. That increase coincided with the start of the second Intifada. It was so dramatic that even the EU stood up and took notice. They commissioned their first ever study on the subject late in 2003. Of course Islamaphobia has merited numerous EU studies. The results confirmed what is termed the "new" Anti-Semitism -- from Muslims who are supported by the virulently anti-Israel left. That politically incorrect conclusion was at first supressed by the EU who refused to publish their own study.

Are you also unaware that Europe voted Israel the most dangerous country?

Do you count that as realistic? If not, to what do you attribute that result?

But please don't let my questions disturb the nap you are taking with your head buried in the sand.
