An inquiry into the rise of antisemitism has been launched by a leading Parliamentary committee.
The Commons’ Home Affairs Select Committee announced this afternoon that it would carry out a “short inquiry” into Jew-hatred.
The probe will consider whether prejudice against the Jewish community has increased, and whether the dangers facing Jews have emerged from terrorism.
Committee chairman Keith Vaz said: "There has been a clear and recognised upsurge in attacks against mosques and Muslim communities, but we are also seeing a disturbing rise in far-right extremist groups across Europe.
