‘What’s Changed about Being Jewish in Scotland?’ Fear, study finds – The Jewish Press 04.08.16
The Scottish Council of Jewish Communities recently issued the final draft of a report titled What’s Changed About Being Jewish in Scotland, the catalyst for which was the huge spike in antisemitic incidents in August 2014 (the time of the Gaza War).

And see:

Two years on, Scotland’s Jews concerned over Gaza – but for all the wrong reasons – Robert A. H. Cohen – Patheos 13.08.16
‘When it comes to antisemitism and the impact of Israel-Palestine on our daily lives, the Jewish community in the UK [and not only there] asks the wrong questions, counts the wrong data and debates the wrong issues.’

Every Jew has a duty to help end the occupation
– Emily Hilton – Jewish News [UK] 11.08.16
Our experiences, of helping pave a road with the organisation Ta’ayush, of clearing out Palestinian owned land to make way for a cinema in Hebron, reinforced to me how we have to challenge the tired and prejudiced narrative in our community that it must be ‘us or them,’ that there are ‘no partners for peace’. [Originally from Sydney, Emily Hilton is currently youth and student representative at Yachad UK. She is a social worker on the Frontline graduate programme and recently completed her MPhil in History at Cambridge. She led Israel Tour for RSY-Netzer in July 2013, was a key member of the Sign on the Green Line & Kids Court in Conflict campaigns, and is passionate about social issues.]
