Home Secretary Theresa May said anti-Semitism has "absolutely no place in Britain". She said: "Those who seek to spread anti-Semitic hatred should know that the Government will act against all those who seek to divide our country and sow discord."  "Whilst one anti-Semitic incident is one too many, it is positive that members of the Jewish community now feel more able to speak out against these pernicious crimes knowing that their government will hear their voice and act decisively to protect them."
 

Moshe Kantor, President of the European Jewish Congress, said: "Today's worrying figures are further evidence that new legal measures are needed to tackle hate and extremism in the UK and across Europe. This is why we are very supportive of the Government's actions on Islamic radicalism and we are also calling for anti-Semitism to be categorised as a specific crime".
