Lessons Learned: From post-war British fascists to modern day antisemitism
7 October 2016
I have spent my entire adult life opposing antisemitism and fascism. In that time, much has changed, but the fundamentals of the problem and how to deal with it have not. In the 1950s and 60s, Jews in post-war Britain faced antisemitic abuse and attacks from fascists and open Nazis. Jews needed to be physically defended on the streets, which meant standing up and fighting back. That is what we did and I am proud to have played my part.

CST has spent, in addition to government funding administered by CST, over £1.2 million for security measures within the kehilla.
An open letter from CST Chairman, Gerald M Ronson CBE
6 September 2018
For all of my adult life, I have fought against antisemitism. In the 1950s and 1960s, the fascists had to be physically forced off our streets. That is what we did. In the 1970s and 1980s, we had to develop security against terrorists. That is what we did. In 1994, after the car bombings of the Israeli Embassy and Balfour House, CST was fully established. Since then, CST has spent millions of pounds providing security for Jewish communities across the country. If you lead any sort of Jewish life, from school to synagogue to old age home, CST is helping to secure you and your family. I am proud of what we have built, and I thank the thousands of Jewish men and women who have helped make it a reality.

Morris Beckman, who passed away last week at the age of 94, was one of the very last of that group of British Jewish servicemen who returned to Britain after the Second World War to find that sympathisers of the very evil they had spent six years fighting, had been released from prison and were active on Britain's streets.

On Friday 30 May, customs officials in Marseilles, southern France, arrested 29 year old French national Mehdi Nemmouche on suspicion of having perpetrated the previous Saturday's terrorist attack at the Jewish Museum in Brussels, Belgium.

A New Year's Resolution
4 January 2010
There is yet to be a satisfactory solution to the problem of antisemitic comments being posted on the comment threads of mainstream media blogs. Some, like The Times, choose to pre-moderate comments; the Guardian's Comment Is Free post-moderates; some do not moderate at all. Damian Thompson, at the Telegraph, has com…
