The end of British Jewry? Serious danger also in the healthcare system

A Telegraph investigation reveals the dire state of British Jewry: a dramatic 413% increase in antisemitic incidents on campuses, children hiding their identity in schools, a doctor who attacked a Jewish patient on the operating table, and cultural erasure in the art world. The threat comes from the far left, far right, and Islamist elements, with the Green Party adopting a resolution that 'Zionism is racism'.

A comprehensive investigation by The Telegraph reveals the dire and worsening state of British Jewry at the end of 2026. The threat to the community comes from three main directions: the far left, the far right, and Islamist elements. In educational institutions, children are forced to hide their Jewish identity, students suffer from harassment, and swastikas are drawn in restrooms. The CST organization reported a 413% increase in antisemitic incidents on campuses since the outbreak of the war, with calls for students to 'go back to Auschwitz'. The most chilling case is described in the healthcare system: Sol Freeman from Sheffield, while lying on the operating table for removal of a cancerous tumor from his head, was verbally attacked by the surgeon who said that 'Jews do it just for fun' and 'shoot children in the head or legs for fun'. In the cultural world, Jewish identity has become a 'reputational risk', cinemas cancel screenings of Jewish films, and musicians and writers are being canceled. Telegraph reporter Nicole Lampert documented how a memorial event for the 'Battle of Cable Street' was split between Jews and pro-Palestinian activists, and she herself was verbally and physically attacked while being called a 'Zionist scum'. Meanwhile, the Green Party adopted a resolution that 'Zionism is racism'. The far right is also raising its head: neo-Nazi activists infiltrated the election campaign of the 'Restore Britain' party, and published videos claiming that 'Jewish ideas are destroying the country'.
