Home Affairs Committee: Responses to antisemitism
Committee hears from witnesses
The Home Affairs Committee is taking oral evidence on responses to antisemitism in the UK. This inquiry examines how government, police, local authorities, and other bodies are tackling antisemitic hate crime and discrimination. The session will scrutinise the effectiveness of current measures and identify gaps in protecting Jewish communities from harassment and violence.
Antisemitism has risen significantly in recent years, with recorded hate crimes against Jewish people increasing sharply. This inquiry directly affects Jewish communities' safety and sense of belonging, and tests whether state institutions are adequately resourced and coordinated to prevent and prosecute antisemitic offences. The outcome will shape policy and enforcement priorities across policing, criminal justice, and community cohesion.
