UK Jewish wellbeing, way of life 'increasingly challenged and undermined' -- report
The increase of antisemitism in civil society has left UK Jews feeling they have no one they can turn to outside of their own community, the Board of Deputies of British Jews found in a report released Tuesday that pointed to problems in the health service, unions, and professional bodies.
The report was compiled by the board’s Commission on Antisemitism, which took testimonies from organizations, staff networks, students, and the Jewish community, it said in a statement.
The report found evidence of a “specific unaddressed issue of antisemitism” within the UK National Health Service and “hidden barriers” against Jewish artists and performers.
“The Jewish community in our country increasingly feels that it is being tolerated, rather than being respected,” wrote the two co-chairs of the commission, Independent Adviser on Antisemitism Lord John Mann, of the Labour government, and Conservative former secretary of state for Defense and Leader of the House of Commons Dame Penny Mordaunt.
