Jewish people are nine times more likely than Muslims to be victims of hate crime, according to the latest Home Office data.
The figures reveal that Jewish people faced hate crimes at a rate of 116.5 offences per 10,000 people last year, compared with 13.3 per 10,000 for Muslims.
Official data also show that racially and religiously motivated hate crime recorded by police hit record highs.
Religious hate crimes targeting Jewish people were up by 10 per cent from the year before, to 3,162, while crimes against Muslims rose by 15 per cent, to 5,132.
The latest Home Office data were published a day after a number of arrests were made at protests and demonstrations in London on the third anniversary of the October 7 attacks.
