A parliamentary motion condemning attacks on the Jewish community as a result of the war in Gaza has been signed by more than 40 MPs - including critics of Israel. The MPs called on the government to stamp down on a wave of antisemitic incidents.
The motion, sponsored by Labour MP John Mann, chairman of the Parliamentary Committee on Antisemitism, also attacked the growing number of extremist websites, one of which calls for attacks against Jews around the world.
The motion was published as hundreds of Israel supporters, Jewish and non-Jewish, lobbied MPs in parliament on Wednesday.
The event, organised by the Zionist Federation and Christian Friends of Israel, was in response to the overwhelming criticism of Israel in the House of Commons.
