Britain to tackle campus anti-Semitism
The British government is expected to reveal a plan this week regarding how it will deal with increasing reports of anti-Semitism on university campuses.
In the wake of recent reports of religious intolerance on British campuses, the government will begin by asking all university heads to institute a zero tolerance policy regarding academics attacking Israel, the Times of London reported.
A 2006 report from European minister Denis McShane presented to Prime Minister Tony Blair revealed that universities have become a breeding ground for anti-Semitism in recent years.
"During our evidence sessions we heard of Jewish students having anti-Semitic graffiti scrawled on their doors, and of extremist Muslim groups being invited to speak on campuses," his report said.
The Times said the government is expected to push for increased recording of such incidents and support contact with Israeli academics.
