The Home Affairs Committee, part of the British House of Commons, plans to hold an \u201cevidence session\u201d on May 14 to probe Jew-hatred in the United Kingdom, it said on Friday.<\/p>\n
\u201cI am deeply concerned about the very real threats facing the Jewish community in Britain,\u201d stated Karen Bradley, a parliamentarian and chair of the committee. \u201cThis evidence session will explore the day to day reality of antisemitism and whether enough is being done to protect against its consequences.\u201d<\/p>\n
The upcoming panel session \u201cwill also look at the wider societal context and ask if there are triggers for this sort of violent action that need to be addressed,\u201d she stated.<\/p>\n
The announcement came on the same day that the Metropolitan Police Service said that a migrant was convicted<\/a> of an attempted terror attack at the Israeli embassy in London in 2025 and two days after the Met Police said that it was treating a stabbing<\/a> attack against two Jews in London as a terror incident.<\/p>\n The committee said that Jew-hatred is on the rise in the United Kingdom, \u201cleading to growing concern that Jewish communities are at serious risk,\u201d and \u201cJewish people and institutions have been deliberately targeted.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cThere are also reports of increased levels of harassment and antisemitic abuse,\u201d it said.<\/p>\n The panel plans to ask questions of Jewish communal representatives and experts on Jew-hatred and community safety, it stated. Those include Danny Stone, chief executive of the Antisemitism Policy Trust, and Russell Langer, of the Jewish Leadership Council, as well as a representative from Community Security Trust. The committee said that it has also invited \u201cLord Mann, the government\u2019s independent adviser on antisemitism, to give evidence.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cThe session will explore the level of threat posed to Jewish communities and the adequacy of the response to recent violence from government and law enforcement,\u201d it said. \u201cThe session will also consider wider drivers of antisemitism including whether marches and protests have led to increased antisemitism and what steps the government should take to tackle antisemitism in society.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"( May 1, 2026 \/ JNS ) The Home Affairs Committee, part of the British House of Commons,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":560936,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[59,57,58,50,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-560935","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-united-kingdom","tag-gb","tag-great-britain","tag-greatbritain","tag-news","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/560935","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=560935"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/560935\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/560936"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=560935"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=560935"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=560935"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
