The report explicitly acknowledges that hatred toward Jews is NOT on the rise, and that only anti-Israel sentiments are increasing. And yet they STILL published a review claiming “antisemitism” is a major problem in British schools, because "antisemitism" means "opposing Israel".
Buried on page 30 of 'Sir' David Bellend's report into antisemitism in schools in the UK it explicitly says there hasn't been a rise in antisemitism, only in anti-Israel sentiment. Astonishingly fraudulent crisis/debate, all to shield a genocidal state

@MikeTappTweets You don't know any Palestinian people? Not only is Layla Moran your colleague who you must see and speak to from time to time, but you were on a radio panel with her in May of this year. You despicable bigot.

“Have you spoken to any Palestinian organizations before you wrote your letter?” @ShehabKhan presses Labour MP Mike Tapp who reported the Green Party over its Zionism motion about whether he’s ever spoken to any Palestinians. Tapp: “I don’t know any Palestinian people.”

🚨 NEW: Sir David Bell, who carried out the antisemitism in schools report, is on the national council of the Academic Study Group, which states it works to strengthen links between UK and Israeli institutions. The ASG has strong ties to overtly pro-Israel orgs. [@GarySpedding]

Excellent deconstruction of the report, really worth watching
The claim in Sir David Bell's report that 3 in 5 Jewish students have experienced antisemitism was based on just 29 people - and was untrue. My latest for Double Down Newswatch. youtube.com/watch?v=6pEiZYoR…

This from the National Education Union: “A young person’s opposition to the Gaza genocide and scrutiny of the Israeli government are not, in themselves, antisemitic. “We are concerned that addressing antisemitism without an equally clear commitment to tackling all forms of racism risks creating a hierarchy of racism. “No form of racism should be minimised, and no pupil or member of staff should receive less protection”.

🚨 PLEASE SHARE! I've written to both my children's schools following the Government's antisemitism review. I WILL NOT accept genocide being presented as a two-sided political debate, or Palestinian history and suffering being erased from their education. I've drafted a template which I'm sharing for other parents to use or adapt. Political impartiality must NEVER become historical dishonesty. Please use them. Challenge your schools. Demand answers. #GazaGenocide docs.google.com/document/d/1…

The fact that they can say shit like this without even a hint of irony is all the proof you need that Zionism is a racist, supremacist ideology.
I’m a rabbi and I challenge you to understand the root of the olive season problem in Judea & Samaria. That is, the Palestinian rejection of Jewish sovereignty (with no right of return or refugee status). Every rabbi and every Jew should be acknowledging that this is the central issue. Each day that you do not, you endanger the Jewish people and the state of Israel. The rejection of the Jewish state as the indigenous homeland of the Jewish people is an eliminationist ideology. This is the ethnic cleansing of the BDS movement that you support, as a Jew. This is abhorrent and morally indefensible.

If you're outraged that churches are burning in France but were silent when Israel bombed the 3rd oldest church in the world, you're a hypocrite.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Very important. The National Education Union effectively rejects the key recommendations of the new Independent Antisemitism Review, rejecting the IHRA Definition and suggesting current approaches create a hierarchy of racism. Directly says the report "will not tackle antisemitism." This review looks like yet another Labour Together Project disgrace - the long tail of McSweeney-Starmerism - that will likely inflame rather than reduce tensions in schools. Exasperating, infuriating stuff. Imagine telling teachers - teachers! In it for the kids! - that they can't talk about or show opposition Israel's genocide against Palestinian children. Here's what NEU's Daniel Kebede says: "However, recommending the IHRA definition for schools risks deepening the problem rather than tackling it, and actively undermining efforts to confront antisemitism. It is the wrong approach. The IHRA’s contested framing risks blurring the line between antisemitism and legitimate criticism of the Israeli government and the genocide in Gaza, leaving teachers with uncertainty when they need clarity. A young person’s opposition to the Gaza genocide and scrutiny of the Israeli government are not, in themselves, antisemitic. Young people must have the space to understand and discuss world events. Schools must enable young people to confront difficult issues openly and develop empathy, not drive teachers into silence or leave pupils afraid to express their views. Recommending the IHRA definition risks tightening the chilling grip already stifling classroom discussion of the Gaza genocide. Schools need practical support to confront antisemitism, not a contested framework that risks shutting down legitimate discussion. The very real risk is that children who cannot critically explore issues through classroom discussion will instead seek their answers in online and unsafe groups. “This report will not tackle antisemitism. It wrongly calls into question the professionalism of teachers. The existing rules on impartiality in the classroom are very clear and teachers take that responsibility very seriously. For three years, teachers have been responding to concerned pupils’ questions about this conflict. These classroom discussions are familiar territory, not uncharted ground. In that time there have been vanishingly few examples of the Teacher Regulation Agency holding up a complaint of lack of impartiality in the classroom. "The NEU welcomes a strengthened focus on antisemitism in the statutory safeguarding guidance and we would encourage the Department for Education to go a step further by strengthening the guidance on all forms of racism. We are concerned that addressing antisemitism without an equally clear commitment to tackling all forms of racism risks creating a hierarchy of racism. No form of racism should be minimised, and no pupil or member of staff should receive less protection. Similarly, the NEU welcomes training for staff on recognising and challenging antisemitism, but we would like to see this in the context of wider antiracism training. The lack of training and time for staff development is a real barrier and almost two thirds of teachers (65 per cent) report that they have not received any antiracism training of any kind within the past year."

Today, while protecting Palestinians, Brad Lander & a group of American rabbis & others were taken by the IDF. Releasing Brad isn't enough, the Israeli govt must release them all.   If this is how they treat Americans, imagine how they treat Palestinians. Trump & Rubio's silence fuels this impunity.

2/? - Karen Newman is a member of Sir David Bell's reference group for the so-called independent review. Newman is a vice-president of the Board of Deputies of British Jews, an organisation that carries out Israel advocacy at multiple levels and is constitutionally obligated to take action to advance Israel's 'security, welfare, and standing'. - Karen Newman has previously given evidence to committees of Parliament where she has suggested the mere sight of a Palestinian flag or badge is a threat to Jews. - Another member of the reference group is Anna Joseph, deputy head teacher at JFS, a Jewish secondary school in London, a school that literally states in its vision and values: "To be proud and knowledgeable about Jewish culture, history, identity, and community, with a love of the State of Israel and learning Hebrew as part of Jewish heritage." - JFS London runs residential programs for students in Israel aimed at fostering and promoting the ideals of Zionist modern orthodoxy and also runs a program called JLife, which included a component called the 'ABC's of Israel advocacy' for students heading to university. There was also found to have been a year 13 discussion at one point that emphasised comparison between boycott of Israeli goods with the Nazi boycott of Jewish shops. - Another member of the reference group for this review is Rabbi David Meyer OBE, who has in a recent trip to Israel met with Prime Minister Netanyahu, wanted for war crimes. - Rabbi David Meyer is director of Partnerships for Jewish Schools (PaJeS), an organisation that develops educational programs for Jewish Schools. This organisation, in its 2024 J Tracks presentation, set out a number of its objectives which included encouraging Jewish students to become "positive advocates for Israel in the world" and that they should be "emotionally connected to Israel" and that there is a fundamental connection between Israel [the state] and Jewish identity. - PaJes produced a 'war in Israel' set of resources for schools containing a link to a document created by i-gnite, a UK educational and Zionist initiative, entitled 'Talking points: suggested responses to frequently asked questions about Israel'. - Another resource that PaJes links to a video from Unpacked, whos parent organisation, OpenDor Media, explicitly states that its mission is to increase Jewish diaspora support for Israel and Zionism. In the video linked to by PaJes the question asked is 'Has Israel committee war crimes?'. See the video for yourself here: youtu.be/WQ1yIvcg13Q?is=CfHA… - PaJes is also partnered with United, an initiative led by Israel's Ministry for Diaspora Affairs and Combatting antisemitism. The Israeli government describes United as aimed at identifying and strengthening students commitment to the state of Israel. - Dr Helen Miller, another member of Bell's reference group, has worked previously at UJIA (United Jewish Israel Appeal), an organisation with a stated mission of inspiring young Jews to forge their own personal relationship with Israel. - Presently, there are only 3 people on the reference group for this so-called independent review that appear to not have any links with Israel advocacy. Considering all of the above it is my view that Sir David Bell has multiple conflicts of interest as do multiple people on his reference advisory group. None of this has been formally declared in the report or at any point by the department of education. Bell should have recused himself from carrying out this review.
