UK Councils and Universities Face Being Named and Shamed in New Anti-Semitism Crackdown
(Sunday Express-UK) David Maddox - Local councils and universities that refuse to adopt the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance definition of anti-Semitism will be named and shamed, in a move due to be announced by Communities Secretary Robert Jenrick after a record 1,652 anti-Semitic incidents were reported in the UK in 2018. "Councils have a duty to stamp out anti-Semitism wherever they find it so it's troubling that, in some cases, we're seeing the reverse. I am also concerned with some of the stories coming out of our universities - Jewish students whose experiences on campus are not the same as everyone else's....These organizations are recipients of public money. Failure to act is simply unacceptable," Jenrick said.
