Government-backed report says Jewish people suffering increased prejudice across society
Anti-Semitism has been normalised in middle-class Britain, a Government-backed report has found.
The review warned that Jewish people in the UK were suffering increasing prejudice “in our professions, cultural life [and] public services” and felt they were “tolerated rather than being respected”.
The report, commissioned by the Board of Deputies of British Jews, the country’s largest Jewish community organisation, found anti-Semitism to be pervasive in the NHS, at universities and in the arts.
The inconsistent policing of hate crimes against Jews, including at pro-Palestine protests, was also highlighted.
