Two Years After October 7, Survey Finds British Jews Feel Less Safe and Hold Varied Views on Israel

The Jewish Policy Research (JPR) report, “Two years after October 7 attacks: British Jewish views on antisemitism, Israel and Jewish life,” was published on 6 October 2025 by Dr Jonathan Boyd, who has been JPR’s Executive Director since 2010. The report examines British Jewish life two years after the 7 October 2023 attacks on Israel, which led to the war in Gaza.

According to the report’s description, the events since 7 October have had far-reaching effects on Jews in the UK. These include their sense of safety and belonging, their attachments to Israel, their views on Israeli politics, and their everyday Jewish lives. The source describes the account as nuanced and data-driven, presenting how British Jews are navigating a period it calls one of profound challenge and instability.

The findings draw on the responses of more than 4,800 adult British Jews who are members of the JPR Research Panel. They answered the Jews in Uncertain Times Survey, conducted in June and July 2025. The source describes it as the largest survey of British Jews since 7 October 2023.

Related JPR material listed alongside the report includes a piece asking whether the two-state solution is dead. Its summary states that the proportion of British Jews supporting a two-state solution falls below 50 percent, though the excerpt provided is incomplete and does not give further detail. Other linked items cover judgements British Jews feel they face about Israel, and a podcast episode on their views about Israel.
