'Surge in hate crime directed at Jews'
Speaking in the wake of the Paris attacks, the Scottish Council of Jewish Communities said it had recorded 50 anti-semitic incidents between July and September last year. The council's director, Ephraim Borowski, said it recorded just 12 during the duration of 2013 and 13 the previous year.
Police patrols of UK Jewish communities have been stepped up after the Paris attacks in which 17 people, including four Jews, were killed by Islamist gunmen.
Borowski said last year's incidents related to social media, graffiti and personal attacks.
He described a report from a man who was wearing a skull cap on the train. He was asked: "Why do you like killing Palestinian children?"
He also said a young woman living in university halls in Glasgow had a paper Menorah that was pinned to her door reshaped into a swastika.
He added: "We also had three separate stories of children being taunted at school because they were told: 'You killed Christ'.
