UK: "Disproportionate obsession with Israel in Scottish public life"


According to the Scottish Council of Jewish Communities (SCoJeC), around a dozen antisemitic incidents were recorded in the first week of August - almost as many as in the whole of 2013 - including graffiti on synagogues and threatening messages. 
The organisation said a "disproportionate obsession with Israel in Scottish public life" had led to Jews no longer feeling safe wearing kippot or Star of David jewellery. 
It added: "A number of people have said they no longer feel welcome in Scotland and are actively considering moving to Israel."
