Yet in that same time period, there was also a surge in anti-Semitic hate crimes in the United Kingdom as well, rising by a whopping 93 percent. I think this is important to note, because it shows that the trend is toward a generalized rise in hate. It is impacting Muslims and Jews, but it has the potential to spread to other minority groups as well.

XREF: Pairs with the broader discussion of rising hate crimes against Muslims, pointing to a generalized trend rather than targeting one group.

QUESTION: What time period does this 93% figure cover, and what are the underlying data sources and methodology?
