🚨Antisemitism by a pupil should not warrant a referral to the Prevent programme, according to government guidance for teachers Fiona Sharpe, a spokesman for Labour Against Antisemitism, said: “It is unconscionable that the Government should issue guidance which appears to deter people from making Prevent referrals based on anti-Semitic views. “We have seen around the world how anti-Jewish racism drives terrorism. This is not theoretical. Anti-Semitic beliefs led to the terror attack on Bondi Beach that left 15 innocent people dead. Extremist anti-Jewish views drove the attack on a Manchester synagogue in which two men lost their lives. “This is discriminatory guidance that puts the Jewish community at further risk at a time of unprecedented anti-Semitism. It is hard to understand why the Government would choose to show such prejudice against a minority community that is, statistically, at least nine times more likely to be the victim of hate crime.”
