Terrorism Reviewer Calls Anti-Semitism National Emergency

The government's independent reviewer on terror legislation stated that politicians should call out anti-Semitism within some Muslim communities. The reviewer noted the existence of ambient anti-Semitism in certain parts of the community alongside Islamist anti-Semitism. The reviewer expressed regret that political leaders have not named or addressed these instances. The reviewer stated that anti-Semites feel they can operate with impunity to murder Jews. The discussion noted that increased police patrols have not identified those responsible for recent incidents. The reviewer suggested the issue is a cultural problem rather than just a security problem. The source noted that the Jewish community is already heavily perceived by security and cannot rely solely on increased police presence.
