FillyB. is correct in saying Jewish people have fears of being targeted - by far-right groups.
Online spaces that are being used to incite and organise the far-right-led riots contain messages encouraging followers to consider Jewish people as a target, community security experts have warned. Generally, there is heightened fear and tension across communities that have already been attacked, as far-right organisers call for at least 30 sites around England to be targeted on Wednesday. Some are linked to immigration and asylum locations.
One woman took to social media to tell people that an address listed as a mosque in Notts was in fact an elderly lady's home.
The British far right is using propaganda that spreads lies about Muslim people and asylum seekers to gain supporters. It is less vocal in its public rhetoric about its historic enmity towards Jewish people. But the Community Security Trust is now concerned that the antisemitic rhetoric now being seen on far-right forums is linked to the violence seen on Britain’s streets over the last week. The CST spokesperson said: “We see this kind of antisemitic chat from the far right all the time in a variety of online forums. The difference is it is now in online spaces which are also being used by people who are going out and who are actually involved in violent disorder.”
