Waxman revealed that Jewish women are now “choosing to stay with their abusers” out of fear that leaving their homes could expose them to anti-Semitism. She highlighted the profound impact that the ongoing conflict in Israel and Gaza has had on the Jewish community in London, resulting in a rise in both anti-Semitic and Islamophobic hate crimes.
