Thousands of antisemitic Google searches are made every year in Britain

.

According to research, the annual figure is at least 170,000 searches between 2004 to 2018. 17,000 of which were searches such as "kill Jews" or "Jews must die".

There were sharp rises in antisemitic searches in 2016 when Ken Livingstone (former member of the Labour Party) made comments of 'Hitler supporting Zionism' and in 2018 when Jeremy Corbyn (the Labour Party's Leader) met Jewish community spokespeople.

Other peak search moments occur around the 27th of January which is Holocaust Memorial Day and the final of the 2018 Eurovision Song Contest, where Israel won.

Britain is third in the world for Zionism searches, behind Israel and Lebanon, according to the report by the Community Security Trust (a British security charity to protect the Jewish community) and the Antisemitism Policy Trust.

Zionism describes the national Jewish movement which is in support of the restoration of Israel as their homeland.
