This is the best summary I could come up with:
Scotland Yard has recorded a “massive increase” in the number of suspected antisemitic offences in the capital compared with this time last year, as two more Jewish faith schools in north London close over security concerns.
The Met deputy assistant commissioner, Laurence Taylor, said police had asked the attorney general and the Crown Prosecution Service for greater clarity about what may constitute an offence.
Rallies and protests are planned this weekend in the British capital including one demonstration starting at midday on Saturday in central London, with the Met saying it would have more than 1,000 officers on duty during the event.
David Landau, the chair of governors at Menorah high school, told the BBC that the closure was due to the difficulty protecting staff and students from “lone wolf” attacks despite the additional support being received from the police.
“We have a situation where we have this international ‘day of rage’ has been called, we’ve had horrible demonstrations in London where antisemitism is openly displayed and the deaths of Jews are celebrated.
It was also reported that Ateres Beis Yaakov, a small private primary school and nursery, told parents it was to close on Friday “in the interest of the safety”.
