for the attribution catch. I've corrected.

I doubt a Rachel Corrie remembrance pin would meet the criteria for CST. Now, a "Divest from Israel" pin might, but surely that would be worthy of a raised eyebrow from a watchdog group, if not quite an automatic "anti-Semitic" label.

Also, there hasn't been a drop in incidents in the last year -- the CST's figure cited by Greenstein refers to the 2004-2005 period.

Actually, I should have included this bit of Eugenides' post in the above. It might have convinced you more thoroughly:

If you go to the website of the CST (Community Security Trust), the organisation whose statistics Greenstein cites so cack-handedly in his attempt to downplay the incidence of anti-Semitism, you find that, in addition to the figures for 2004 and 2005 quoted above, they have now produced their report for 2006 (pdf) and - oh dear, can you see what's coming?

The Community Security Trust (CST) recorded 594 antisemitic race hate incidents throughout the UK in 2006. This is a 31% rise from the 455 incidents recorded in 2005, and is the highest total since records began in 1984.
