According to figures from the Metropolitan police, hate crimes against the Jewish community in London has surged a stunning 93.4% in the last year.

A new report by International Business Times UK highlights the disturbing trends for both the Jewish and Mulsim minority communities in London, which have both seen a spike in targeted attacks against them.

Citing statistics from the London police, IBT UK reports that over the last twelve months, police recorded 499 anti-Semitic crimes, almost double the 258 recorded in the previous year span. 

Anti-Semitism prevention group Community Security Trust told IBTimes UK the "big trigger events" of the last year, particularly the Gaza war and the Charlie Hebdo attacks, helped fuel anti-Semitism, leading to the "record high" number of incidents. A spokesman for the group explained that attacks had generally been on the rise since 2000, but had actually decreased from 2010-2013. 

The increase in anti-Semitic sentiment and attacks has left a majority of Jews in the UK believing they have no long-term future in the country, and a quarter of the community saying they've considered leaving over the last two years. 

The police also report that attacks on Muslims have spiked over the last year, rising by 71%. The  police recorded 816 incidents in the last 12 months, compared with 478 the previous year. The police say a majority of these attacks are on Muslim females, citing their distinctive physical attire and vulnerability as potential reasons they're targeted. 

"In light of recent world events, we know communities in London are feeling anxious," the Metropolitan police told IBT UK in a statement. "Local neighborhood policing teams are providing a more targeted presence in key areas at key times, such as school routes, holy days and prayer times to give extra reassurance."

The police made clear that they "will not tolerate hate crimes" and plan to "take positive action" to respond to reports. ​
