Last night, 20 April, BBC Panorama broadcast ‘Antisemitism: Why British Jews Are Afraid’, an episode examining the rise in antisemitism in the UK and its effect on Jewish life in Britain.
LBI London Executive Member Rabbi Baroness Julia Neuberger spoke in the programme about how “people use the cover of criticising the actions of the Israeli government to be antisemitic”.
The episode also explored how antisemitism is being experienced in public life, including in schools, hospitals and workplaces. It reflected concerns heard across the British Jewish community about safety, visibility and the impact of hostile language both online and offline.
