Owen JonesHOST
Opposing the mass slaughter of children by Israel is not hateful extremism.
Owen JonesHOST
Yet this is what this moral disgrace of an article by Dave Rich of the Community Security Trust argues.
Owen JonesHOST
Now, this is a charity supposedly committed to protecting the security of Jewish people in the UK, which, by the way, is extremely important.
Owen JonesHOST
You know, anti-Semitism is a real threat.
Owen JonesHOST
It has to be dealt with and Jewish people need to be secure.
Owen JonesHOST
The problem, as we're going to see, is the conflation of anti-Semitism with opposing, in this case, for example, the mass slaughter of children.
Owen JonesHOST
Now, the Community Security Trust works closely with the British police, including influencing decisions on pro-Palestine protests.
Owen JonesHOST
Now, let's go through what this article argues and the reality of the crimes committed by the Israeli army against Palestinian kids.

building.

AkivaSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Hide the fact that they were Jewish if someone asked them.
AkivaSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
I think that's really a shame and really worrying that Jewish students are so scared to be able to be safe in being themselves on our campus.
Alex Taylor-BrownCORRESPONDENT
The Community Security Trust say anti-Semitic incidents remain significantly higher than before Hamas's attack on Israel.

Mark WeissHOST
We are speaking with Dr Dave Rich, Director of Policy at the Community Security Trust.
Mark WeissHOST
So tell us about the book From Bairi to Bondi.
Dave RichGUEST
My new book, From Bairi to Bondi, Global Antisemitism, after October 7th, really tells the story of the wave of anti-Jewish hatred, terrorism, and violence but also extremist campaigns and protests that have swept around the world since the appalling atrocities on october 7th three years ago it is a collection of articles i've written during that period in real time responding to things as they happened but combined with new material and a fresh perspective to see how we can learn from what's happened and also reflect on how it's felt for Jewish people around the world.
Mark AdderleyHOST
going to go to some really important clips.

Jim CoeHOST
Gary, what have you been reading this week?
Gary HughesGUEST
So, um, this week, Jim, I read the, uh, campus antisemitism report from, uh, CST, uh, the Community Security Trust.
Gary HughesGUEST
Um, uh, regular listeners and readers will know that CST produces reports, um, regularly, uh, on an annual or biannual basis, um, which are, um, analyses of reported incidents that come to CST of antisemitism on campus, um, how it manifests itself, and, um, what could be done about it.
Gary HughesGUEST
Um, the reason it interested me, I suppose, is that, um, the, uh, it really ties into what we already know, which is that, um, antisemitism on campus is not about violence as much as, I mean, that is present, and in this report, there were examples of extreme violence for the first time, but it is about abuse and the culture on campus and how, um, that is, uh, creating an environment on campus for Jewish students, which is, uh, just not helping them learn, not helping them thrive, and we've got a responsibility to do something about that.
Anna JonesHOST
Now, the number of antisemitic incidents at British universities is significantly higher than before the seventh of October attacks nearly three years ago.
Anna JonesHOST
Uh, this is research from the Community Security Trust, which monitors antisemitism in Britain, and it's recorded ninety-five reports of antisemitic incidents affecting Jewish students, academics, university staff or campus organizations during the twenty twenty-five to twenty twenty-six academic year.
Anna JonesHOST
That's up from eighty-three over the previous twelve months, so a fourteen percent increase.
Anna JonesHOST
And of course, the new academic year is getting underway now, uh, so the charity is urging institutions, uh, to make a clear distinction between anti-Israel speech or activity and antisemitism and enforce this difference through disciplinary action when necessary.

And it's worth saying that it comes very close to the anniversary of a terror attack in Manchester, in the same city, at a synagogue last year on Yom Kippur, where two Jewish members of the congregation died.
Steph SpiroCORRESPONDENT
And it's worth saying that anti-Semitic incidents in the UK have risen by 21% in the first half of 2026 compared to the same period in 2025.
