Abstract

In the immediate aftermath of the horrifying terrorist attacks on the offices of Charlie Hebdo and the kosher supermarket in Paris in January 2015, one question seemed to run through much of the discourse within Jewish communal circles on the other side of the English Channel: could the same thing happen in the UK? Could the type of targeted antisemitic Islamist attack that took the lives of four Jews that day also occur in the United Kingdom, a country long known for its high levels of tolerance for minorities, low levels of antisemitism, and, in European terms at least, vibrant Jewish life?
