Anti-Semitism and how we define it

All UK police forces use and recognise the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance's (IHRA) 2016 working definition of anti-Semitism.

We do not accept anti-Semitism in any shape or form.

The IHRA's definition of anti-Semitism

The definition is as follows:

"Anti-Semitism is a certain perception of Jews, which may be expressed as hatred toward Jews. Rhetorical and physical manifestations of anti-Semitism are directed towards Jewish or non-Jewish individuals and/or their property, toward Jewish community institutions and religious facilities."

This definition helps us to understand and recognise anti-Semitism in our society.

We're fully committed to supporting people affected by anti-Semitism-.
