Outstripping London.
http://www.israelnationalnews.com/Ne...8#.Ty6mKKxSRqR From news article: Although London's Jewish population is almost seven times that of Manchester, the smaller city saw 242 anti-Semitic crimes with a Jewish population of 21,700.In one incident, two white women at a gas station actually hit a Jewish woman with a car, knocking her to the ground. They then walked over to her, spat at her, shouted “dirty Jew!” and got into their car and drove away. A man in Salford was punched in the face and had his yarmulka ripped off his head, eggs were hurled at worshipers outside a synagogue on a Sabbath morning, and three Jewish children had a lit firework thrown at them. In London, 201 incidents were reported, with a Jewish population of 149,800 in the British capital. |
