The shadow reiterated his concern over rising antisemitic incidents since 2018, highlighted recent graffiti incidents in Harlow, and questioned why Jewish institutions require guards. He criticised political figures for using Israel's conflict as an excuse to spread antisemitism and mentioned groups like Hamas and Hezbollah funding such acts. The shadow asked about specific protections for Jews, educational measures against antisemitism in schools, and penalties for guilty parties.

The MP commended Robert Halfon for securing the urgent question on antisemitic incidents. He expressed concern about the rise in anti-Semitic and misogynistic attacks, highlighting that 63 antisemitic incidents were recorded by the Community Security Trust between May 8th and 16th. Thomas-Symonds asked if anyone else was being sought after, what more can be done to prevent similar occurrences, and what additional support is being given to places of worship.

The MP thanked the Minister for his statement but urged him to go further, highlighting that antisemitism on campuses is ignored and university lecturers who target Jewish students are not dealt with. He proposed ensuring every child in this country learns about antisemitism alongside other forms of racism.

McDonald thanked Robert Halfon for securing the urgent question. He expressed support for steps to bring perpetrators of antisemitic incidents to justice and suggested that we condemn all forms of racism, including Islamophobia and anti-Catholic bigotry.

Fabricant condemned the recent incidents but questioned what lessons have been learned about these events. He asked if there was predictability in such occurrences, especially during times of conflict.

Hodge thanked Robert Halfon and expressed concern about past patterns of antisemitic incidents flaring up during Middle Eastern conflicts. She asked what actions the Secretary of State would take beyond today to inform and educate communities, including elected representatives.

I very much agree with the remarks made by my right hon. Friend the Member for Harlow. Many Jewish people in Southend were appalled at the disgusting scenes in north London over the weekend. I stand with them, and I am frankly bemused at how those events were allowed to happen in the first place. Does my right hon. Friend agree that it is more important than ever that the Government continue to support the work of the Community Security Trust, which does such vital work to keep the Jewish community safe through the protective security grant? I know that money is tight, but will he ensure that sufficient funding is made available to the trust, to enable the Jewish community to worship safely and peacefully?

The whole House will stand in solidarity with Jewish people across the country in the face of vile antisemitism, misogynistic hate speech, violence and incitement. No one should be in any doubt that attempting to blame Jewish communities for the actions of the Israeli Government is appalling antisemitism and is wrong. The Secretary of State will know that the kinds of incident we saw over the weekend are also being fuelled by online antisemitism and extremism, and he will have seen the recent CST report on Google and antisemitic imagery. What more is he doing to tackle this awful online antisemitism?

We have seen vile physical and verbal assaults against Jews in the real world, but there is also a deep well of antisemitic content online and on social media, as the right hon. Member for Normanton, Pontefract and Castleford said, which often goes unchallenged. Does my right hon. Friend agree that these clearly antisemitic messages cannot be allowed to continue? Memes are allowed to socialise and water down some of the horrific content online. Can he outline what action the Government will take against not just mainstream social media companies but smaller ones such as BitChute and Telegram, where some of the worst content is shared?

On behalf of the Liberal Democrats, I would like to add our unequivocal condemnation of all forms of racism and hate speech, including the appalling antisemitic abuse recorded on the streets of London. The Secretary of State has already agreed that we must all actively condemn and confront all forms of inflammatory rhetoric by those with public platforms. Can he expand on how he sees the work of Government encouraging us here and the public at large to get to a place where we can stop such appalling racial abuse and misogynistic hate crimes?

Today, Jewish people in my constituency and around the world will be gathering to mark the festival of Shavuot, and I wish them all a good and a safe Yom Tov. As the Member with the largest Jewish community outside London, I have been contacted by constituents scared to take their children to shul, due to the appalling scenes of antisemitism on the streets of the UK over the weekend. Does my right hon. Friend agree with me that the Jewish community cannot be targeted due to the situation in the middle east, and will he reassure the community in Bury South and across the country that the police will deal with all instances of antisemitism with the utmost severity?

Plaid Cymru has a long tradition of promoting peace over conflict and of standing alongside oppressed people. This includes calling for the human right of people in Palestine and Israel to be able to live in peace. The language we use in politics matters, and everyone seeking peace knows that words used irresponsibly can be twisted into weapons. This week, Jews in the UK have suffered hate speech, threats and acts of violence both on the streets and over social media. Does the Secretary of State agree that the online harms Bill provides an opportunity to protect not only individuals, but groups of people from hate speech that incites such violence?

I welcome and indeed echo the words of the Home Secretary at the weekend in urging the police to take the strongest possible action against those responsible for these horrific and totally unacceptable incidents of antisemitism. Will my right hon. Friend confirm that his Department will work closely with the Home Office to ensure that all those responsible will be held to account and face justice as soon as possible?

Last night, Jewish communities across the country began our celebrations for the festival of Shavuot, and I wish all of those marking it a chag sameach. The scenes of antisemitic and misogynistic abuse yesterday have been incredibly disturbing and have caused significant alarm and distress, coming off the back of a rise in hate crime incidents both online and in physical attacks on and desecrations of our places of worship. I have been heartened by unequivocal condemnations from across society, including by the Muslim Council of Britain and the Palestinian ambassador in the UK, as they recognise that all forms of racism and oppression reinforce one another, that they cannot be fought in isolation from each other and that we all have more in common than that which divides us. What support, therefore, will the Secretary of State provide to interfaith initiatives such as the Warrington Ethnic Communities Association and the Muslim Jewish Forum of Greater Manchester to help us build solidarity and co-operation across our communities, where a minority of extremists seek to divide us?

He thanked Mr Speaker for granting an urgent question. He expressed dismay at the scenes in north London and questioned whether a tweet from the Metropolitan police missed the mark entirely, not taking what happened seriously enough.

He agreed with the Centre for Holocaust Education on the importance of education in tackling antisemitism but highlighted that only 37% of young people know what the term 'antisemitism' means. He asked how adequate funding can be ensured to support educational programmes.

He pointed out that antisemitism has been inflamed by allegations regarding the al-Aqsa mosque. He asked what more could be done to prevent such mistruths from driving a wedge between communities.

He condemned racists using the Palestinian tragedy to fuel antisemitism. He asked if far-right organisations could use this to stir further community tensions and what steps would be taken to address it.

He expressed concern over antisemitic attacks that included a Jewish teacher being abused by pupils. He asked if there was a future for Jewish people in this country.

He thanked the Minister for his statement and condemned antisemitic attacks. He asked about headlines potentially preventing readers from understanding Israel's actions as defensive.

She highlighted hate crimes against Jewish residents and asked for commitments on punishing such crimes and providing additional resources to protect community centres, schools, and synagogues.

She acknowledged community cohesion work undermined by recent events and asked about long-term support from the Government, as well as reviewing local government capacity to build on this.
