The Duke of Sussex says a surge in antisemitism across the UK has become “deeply troubling,” urging people to distinguish political protest from hatred of a faith.

The Duke of Sussex has warned of a “deeply troubling” rise in antisemitism in the UK, which has led to “lethal violence” against the Jewish community.

Acknowledging the importance of “legitimate protest” against the actions of a state, Prince Harry said people must be clearer about where they are aiming their anger.

“Nothing, whether criticism of a government or the reality of violence and destruction, can ever justify hostility toward an entire people or faith,” he wrote in the New Statesman.

There has been a string of attacks at synagogues and other Jewish sites in recent months, including the stabbing of two Jewish men in Golders Green, north London, on 29 April.
