My latest for the The Guardian about this horrifying week of far-right riots and violence. Based n the work of the HOPE not hate research team. Some are calling these far-right riots an outpouring of legitimate anger. Ignore them. They are not theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

Anti-Jewish hate crimes have doubled, and that's bad enough in itself. But it's the final column in this table that shows just how much more common antisemitic hate crimes have become.

The Guardian and Stuart Jeffries. His article provoked a backlash and, several hours later, has been removed “pending review”. So far the paper has shown neither the courage to attempt to defend having written and published it, nor the decency to acknowledge it was wrong to do so
