Speed Reading — Hate Crimes - Level 0 — 200 wpm 

This is the text (if you need help).

A third of Jews in Britain want to leave because of a rise in anti-Semitism. This is discrimination against Jews. A study of 10,000 British Jews showed that only 59 per cent of them feel welcome in the UK. Around 40 per cent of them were afraid. They hide their religion in public.

Most British Jews think a political party's negative opinions on Israel increase bad feeling towards Jews. In addition, fewer than 24 anti-Semitic crimes go to court each year. A charity said Jews would leave if things did not change. The UK government said: "There can never be an excuse for hatred towards the Jewish community."
