UK leader introduces official definition of anti-Semitism
LONDON — British Prime Minister Theresa May introduced an official definition for anti-Semitism on Monday in hopes of curbing attacks against Jewish people.
“It means there will be one definition of anti-Semitism — in essence, language or behavior that displays hatred towards Jews because they are Jews — and anyone guilty of that will be called out on it,” May said.
Jewish organizations praised the step at a time when attacks are on the rise.
