UK VOWS CRACKDOWN ON ANTI-SEMITISM

UK Vows Crackdown on Anti-Semitism (Guardian-UK)
The British government committed itself to new ways of tackling anti-Semitism Thursday, following a report which found that Jews were increasingly the focus of attacks. There is particular concern about the growth of anti-Semitic incidents on college campuses.

Phil Woolas, the minister for communities and local government, said the government took very seriously recent manifestations of anti-Semitism and "current rhetoric about Israel and Zionism from the far right, the far left, and Islamist extremists alike." He said the Crown Prosecution Service had agreed to review whether there should be more prosecutions related to such incidents.
