The report 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.
The review was co-authored by Lord Mann, the Government’s anti-Semitism
adviser, and Dame Penny Mordaunt, the former defence secretary.
Writing in The Telegraph, they said they had been “stunned into silence” by
the evidence gathered during six months of research for the Commission on
Anti-Semitism.
Among 10 recommendations made in their report, which will be published on
Tuesday and considered by the Government, are recognising Judaism as an ethnicity
The co-authors said that British Jews were often “held responsible for the
actions of the Israeli government”, which are frequently the subject of pro-
Palestine protests.
“From evidence that we heard, we can identify that there is a specific
unaddressed issue of anti-Semitism within the NHS,” they wrote.
The education sector was also criticised in the report for allowing the spread
of anti-Semitism on university campuses and in primary school classrooms.
Artists ‘cancelled because of their heritage’
The report found there was “almost nowhere” that British Jews could turn
“where anti-Semitism does not seem present in some form”

Tbh I'm going to be consistent on this, as I remember having a discussion with Liam (I think it was Liam anyway,) on here a year or two ago on something similar to this, and my stance will always be the same.
I don't agree with most forms of prejudice, and I do understand that as a society we do have a duty to make sure that extremist views aren't celebrated by the general public.
However you can't make people like you, so it's better that the people that don't like you are at least tolerant towards you, rather than becoming the next KKK or Hitler.
Obviously I have used two extreme examples, but severity of the prejudice is important, and it's also important to not try and force people into liking someone or in this case a group of people.
It's Human Psychology, you'll just make the prejudice person more extreme.
