A growing majority of Jews in Britain are considering leaving the country as antisemitism continues to rise, according to a new annual survey by the Campaign Against Antisemitism.
The poll found that 61% of British Jews are now contemplating emigration, up sharply from 50% last year. Even more concerning, 51% say they no longer see a long-term future for themselves in the United Kingdom, compared to 37% in 2024.
Nearly half of respondents (45%) said they no longer feel welcome in Britain, while an overwhelming 83% believe the police are failing to do enough to protect Jewish communities.
The survey was conducted following the deadly Yom Kippur terror attack at Manchester’s Heaton Park synagogue in October, in which two worshippers were murdered and four others wounded. The attacker, a Syrian migrant, rammed his car into congregants before stabbing victims while wearing a fake suicide vest. He was later shot dead by police. A second suspect, a British-Pakistani associate, has since been charged with terrorism-related offenses.
