Labour Peers Demand Action On Antisemitism
Chief Rabbi Sir Ephraim Mervis and Israel's Foreign Ministry have called for meaningful action following recent antisemitic incidents. The Israeli government has also intervened, demanding decisive action from British authorities against antisemitism. The incident was referred to the state anti-extremism program Prevent. Many members of the Jewish community reported feeling unsafe in the United Kingdom and expressed dissatisfaction with perceived lack of solidarity from the general population. British Prime Minister Keir Starmer announced a series of emergency measures to combat antisemitism during a visit to London. The Prime Minister was met with jeers from approximately 100 people near the Jewish community ambulance service offices. This location had been set on fire last month.

“Luciana Berger, the Labour peer who Starmer actually said when he became Labour leader, you know, that his work wouldn't be done in terms of tackling antisemitism within the Labour Party until she felt comfortable coming back as a member. Of course, she did that, but she's now signed a letter along with lots of other peers, basically demanding a bit more action on this.”
