Amid the anti-Israel demonstrations, Jews feel less and less safe in the island nation.

An unconfirmed claim by Hamas was made in a December broadcast by the BBC, according to which Israel executes Palestinian civilians in an accelerated procedure without a fair trial, the US television network Fox News reported. The claim turned out to be false, so the British public media was forced to retract. In their correction, they themselves admitted:

“We made no effort to find evidence to support Hamas' claim. We apologize for this error.”

Not everyone found this apology sufficient. "Too little, too late," summed up his opinion on X.

Since the October 7 attack on Israel by the Palestinian terrorist organization Hamas, the BBC has taken a contradictory approach to the situation in Gaza. For a long time, they refused to call the members of Hamas terrorists, preferring to use the slightly more refined militant term.

The BBC's attitude towards Israel is not unique to Britain. Week after week, large anti-Israel demonstrations are held in London and other major cities, and Jews living in the country report an increase in anti-Semitism.

Most recently, the daughter of Defense Minister Grant Shapps, Tabytha, announced that she would drop out of one of the university modules because she did not feel safe as a Jewish student, reports the British newspaper The Telegraph.

Tabytha Shapps reported witnessing anti-Semitic chanting and found it frightening that some chanted "From the river to the sea!" they marched through campus chanting "End Israeli state terror!" protested against the conflict in Gaza with posters reading

The 19-year-old said she felt uncomfortable during seminars on Israel and Palestine, in which she claims one of her peers talked about Israeli apartheid and Israel's behavior as a genocidal state, so she left the module instead.
