Antisemitism 'normalised in middle-class Britain'

A government report reveals that antisemitism is normalized in middle-class Britain. Co-authored by Lord Mann and Dame Penny Mordaunt, the report highlights that Jewish people in the UK face increasing prejudice in various sectors, including healthcare, education, and the arts.

The authors were "stunned into silence" by the findings and noted that many Jewish individuals feel "tolerated rather than being respected." The report calls for significant changes, including recognizing Judaism as an ethnicity, improving police handling of anti-Semitic crimes, and introducing training for employers.

Post-October 7 attacks, incidents of antisemitism surged, particularly at pro-Palestine protests, where police were criticized for a lack of action. Overall, the report emphasizes that antisemitism is inadequately addressed in Britain, urging the government to act promptly on its recommendations.
