Jewish people in Britain have experienced the worst wave of hate incidents in modern times with more than 1,000 recorded after the Hamas massacres in lsrael, experts in countering antisemitism have said.
The Community Security Trust said on Friday it had recorded the highest 28-day total since it started counting in 1984.
Since 7 October, 1,019 hate incidents have been recorded across the UK, the date Hamas launched a series of attacks on lsrael that left 1,400 dead, and more than 200 people taken hostage.
The figures include 47 assaults, with other incidents including the targeting of children and schools.
The level of incidents triggered by the current crisis is higher than at other times when Israel has been involved in military action.
Incidents reported to the CST include highly offensive remarks about Jewish people, covering schools, colleges and even a Holocaust library.
The Metropolitan police had 657 reports of antisemitic incidents from 1 October to 1 November this year, compared with 49 incidents in the same period last year.
There were 230 Islamophobic incidents reported to police in London in the same period, compared with 71 incidents in the same period last year.

1. Does "covering" mean that highly offensive remarks about Jewish people cover schools, colleges, and even a Holocaust library? Which is the subject of "covering"?
2. What's the role of "with"? Would you give me some examples of it?
3. Does "with" have a different meaning than "with"?

1. It means the same thing as "including" in my humble opinion.
2. It means the same thing "with" always means.
3. I don't know what that means.
 
1. What covers schools, colleges and even a Holocaust library?
2. Could "with more than 1,000 recorded" be substituted with "with more than 1,000 that have been recorded"?

Read the first one as:

Incidents reported to the CST include highly offensive remarks about Jewish people at schools, colleges, and even a Holocaust library.
