Spiked Online Editor Brendan O’Neill says we are currently witnessing an “explosion in anti-Semitism” across the western world.

His comments come amid news of big protests in London, supporting Palestine amid the conflict in the Middle East.

“It’s horrific,” Mr O’Neill told Sky News host Andrew Bolt.

“There’s been around a 600 per cent rise in anti-Semitic abuse and anti-Semitic attacks in the UK.

“We’ve also seen attacks in New York and Los Angeles, we’ve seen Jewish diners being attacked and assaulted, we’ve seen fireworks being thrown at Jewish people in New York city.

“What I find really repugnant is that the supposedly anti-racist left is not kicking up a fuss about this explosion in racism as they would if it was happening to any other minority.”
