Antisemitism report finds increase in anti-Jewish discrimination
A new report on anti -Semitism has revealed a number of suggestions, including NHS struggling with a “unacceptable problem of anti -Semitism”.
The report, which was initiated by the British Council of Jews in 2024, made 10 suggestions after receiving evidence from a series of organizations, including NHS, the art industry and the police.
Lord John Mann, an Independent Advisor to the government, who led the government’s former conservative cabinet Minister Dame Penny Mordaunt, said that the commission heard “shocking experiences”.
He said that he has called an “anti -Semitism attack” in the UK since October 7.
Authorized, suggestions will provide guidance and action, he added.
On October 7, 2023, about 1,200 people were killed in an attack on Southern Israel led by Hamas, while 251 people were hostage.
The Israeli army launched an ongoing campaign in Gaza in response to the attack. According to the Ministry of Health operated by Hamas of the region, at least 57,823 people have been killed in Gaza since then.
Most of the suggestions in the report pointed out the education of antisemitism at different capacities.
The first was the creation of an “anti -Semitism education adequacy” for those who trained about those called “contemporary anti -Semitism”.
He explained that Jewish social organizations want to increase information about anti -Jewish discrimination, which can be done if there is a standard training given by a “reliable provider”.
In the Jewish identity, Judaism “should always be seen and understood … as an ethnicity and religion”, the commission will enable anti -Semitism to be handled properly.
The report found that many Jewish employees in NHS thought that anti -Semitism was not handled in the workplace and that some Jewish patients thought that they were “uncomfortable to use service”.
Among his suggestions is that NHS should make a summit to cope with the “non -specific problem of anti -Semitism” in health care.
He also said that anti -Semitism should be included in all equality, diversity and inclusion (EDI) training, and that it would increase the number of “trained” and “trusting to deal with it”.
“No one should face abuse or discrimination while maintaining their jobs, whether no one is following the career they have chosen or accessing public services.” He said.
In the report, some Christian primary school teachers claimed that they received evidence of “anti -Semitic tropes” on issues such as religious studies.
Winchester Diocese and the local Jewish community proposed to be evaluated and implemented to all faith schools, welcomed an initiative proposed to teach teachers how to avoid doing so.
Despite the fact that “everyone should have the right to express their views and beliefs,” said the Board of MPs, “Welfare, security or security … It is an additional task to make people feel their help,” he said.
Other suggestions asked the Jewish members of the art industry and trade unions to be treated equally.
Another important suggestion was to create a policing and a “consistent approach” to cope with anti -Semitic crimes.
Phil Rosenberg, Chairman of the Board of MPs, said that the report “can be summarized as one of the inability to apply the guards that are justified to equally vulnerable groups to Jewish people in the same positions”.
