Anti-Jewish Hatred; renewing the commitment on tackling Anti-Jewish Hatred in 2023. It was a report published by Lord Mann and describes exactly what the front pages says. It was reported to the house of commons and makes it painstakingly clear that things need to change.\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Learning through education<\/h3>\n

The report makes numerous points. It states for example that it\u2019s important that next to what\u2019s already being taught about the holocaust in secondary schools, contemporary antisemitism should be added to the curriculum. Something that assistant headteacher of a Jewish secondary school Mr Blatcher wholeheartedly stands by;\u2019 <\/span>I think it\u2019s an incredibly positive move that antisemitism is back onto the curriculum and that it\u2019s an ongoing part of political and educational agendas. It\u2019s only by education that we ever realistically have a good chance at challenging racism.\u2019 <\/span>He hopes this implementation will cause positive change; \u2019<\/span>Hopefully it helps make a better educated generation who are going to look at this with more open eyes and hopefully create a fairer society.\u2019\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Because the fact that the holocaust is the only form of teaching about antisemitism in the teaching materials right now doesn\u2019t sit right with everyone, for example Rabbi Meyer from PaJes; \u2018Whilst there is no question that holocaust education must be a required element for every student, there is a danger that it is being taught as a story from the past with little relevance to the present.\u00a0 It is essential that we teach our children how to learn from the lessons of the past in order that we don’t allow history to repeat itself.\u2019<\/span><\/p>\n

‘It is essential that we teach our children how to learn from the lessons of the past in order that we don’t allow history to repeat itself.\u2019<\/span><\/h2>\n<\/blockquote>\n

And that antisemitism isn\u2019t something from the past can be seen in the numbers published by CST. According to the the antisemitic accidents report published in February of 2022 there were 2,255 antisemitic accidents reported in 2021, with 752 potential incidents that weren\u2019t included.. That means that there was an increase of 34% when comparing these numbers to 2020. They conclude that this increase follows after a large amount of anti-Jewish reactions to what was happening in Israel and Palestine the year before. This also resulted in the rise of antisemitic incidents in secondary schools, but also in higher education this was seen more often.<\/span><\/p>\n

In August of 2022 a report was published about the first half of the year in 2022. Here they registered a lower number of cases when compared to the first half of the year in 2021. This means that there might be a decrease in antisemitism. But to have this confirmed we\u2019ll have to wait till the CST publishes another report concluding the year of 2022. See the graph below.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n[aesop_image img=”https:\/\/svjmedia.nl\/internationaljournalism\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/378\/2023\/01\/Schermafbeelding-2023-01-25-om-22.52.07.png” panorama=”off” imgwidth=”40%” align=”center” lightbox=”on” captionsrc=”custom” captionposition=”left” revealfx=”off” overlay_revealfx=”off”]\n

This addition to the material is also something that UNESCO <\/span>(United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization) talked about in 2018 at <\/span>the \u2018power of education to prevent racism and discrimination: the case of antisemitism\u2019 event. The Secretary General of the United Nations recognized the importance of education in preventing anti-Jewish hatred and talked about multiple points here such as that there should be education programmes developed that address anti-Jewish hatred in a framework of human rights and global citizenship. Next to that the Secretary General also talked about the fact that there is some building that needs to be done on the capacity of the educational system. They need to have the capacity to address antisemitism, conspiracy theories and all other forms of hate speech.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

It still happens<\/h3>\n

Because that antisemitism isn\u2019t something from the past is also something that assistant headteacher Mr Blatcher notices when talking about it with his students; \u2019<\/span>We discuss it as a general issue, talk about their personal experiences, what it\u2019s like in a local community, what it\u2019s like on a national level and what it\u2019s like on an international level. One of the first questions we ask is \u201cdo you ever feel you\u2019ve been treated differently for being Jewish?\u201d and almost every boy will say yes, this has happened. And I can give a list of times when this has been the case. Sometimes it\u2019s little things; in public shouting things to them out of the window of a car, sometimes it\u2019s much more direct and specific and you can link it to a case where they had to report it to the police.\u2019\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This safety issue is also a problem for Jewish students enrolled in University. The safety of Jewish students on campuses is therefore also a point in the report of Lord Mann. Something that in 2019 had already been brought up in the house of commons, but apparently didn\u2019t have much effect being that it is brought up again now. Anti-Jewish Hatred amongst students has been a popular topic the last month, a report published by Rebecca Tuck KC revealed the anti-Jewish hatred within NUS, a student organization focused on the rights for students. \u2018<\/span>An NUS that doesn\u2019t represent Jewish students is not fit to represent anyone\u2019 is what UJS president Joel Rosen had to say about that in Jewish News. The organization focused on Jewish students commented on the report of Lord Mann in a positive manner earlier on social media.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Lilit Zeltsburg, an expert on Holocaust and Genocide studies also praises the report of Lord Mann. \u2018The first thing I noticed about the report is how good it was when I compared it to a report very similar to this one in the Netherlands. That didn\u2019t feel like a decisive report, this does. In this report the first thing that happens is naming the responsible parties that need to help combat antisemitism.\u2019 She feels like the focus in the UK\u2019s report is better, than in the Dutch report. \u2018In the UK\u2019s report it\u2019s actually about how they\u2019re going to do something about antisemitism now, what the antisemitic thoughts are that people have now and how they are going to combat those thoughts.\u2019 <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
