anti-semitism

The UN says the rise in attacks targeting Jews, along with other groups targeted because of their race or religion, is a matter of grave concern, and urges all governments to redouble their efforts to combat racism and related intolerance in all its forms.

In the face of attempts to dehumanise and demonise communities, we must stand up to defend human rights, says the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights.

The American organisation Jewish Voice for Peace which supports full equality for Palestinians and Jewish Israelis, grounded in international law and universal principles of human rights, has issued a statement responding to anti-semitism in the UK and in the US.
