B12: Updates to Guidance on Antisemitism
Motion text
The Young Greens note that:
· In 2023, 2024 and 2025 there has been a significant rise in the number of
antisemitic incidents in the UK with a recorded 4,296 incidents in 2023, the
highest amount recorded by CST and over double the amount recorded in 2022.
· Between January and June of 2025 107 reports involved celebration of the
holocaust, the glorification of its architects and/or their ideas, or the
expressed desire for for the mass industrialised extermination of Jewish people
to be repeated. 29% of these cases also referenced the Middle East by lamenting
Hitler's failure to exterminate the entirety of the Jewish population and
thereby prevent Isreal’s existence and the events in the Middle East at current.
· In this same time 51% of the 1,521 reported incidents referred to Isreal or
Palestine whilst containing explicitly antisemitic comments or abuse.
The Young Greens believe that:
· Being anti-Isreal is not inherently antisemitic.
· We should fully support the people of Palestine in this conflict.
· Anti-Isreal sentiments can become inherently antisemitic and views towards
Isreal may be expressed via or motivated by anti-Jewish rhetoric, stereotypes,
and conspiracy theories.
· Jewish people as a whole should not become victims of hate due to the actions
of Isreal.
The Young Greens resolve to:
· Ensure that anti-Isreal sentiment does not become antisemitic.
· Continue to support Palestine.
· Ensure that our guidance, statements, and policies do not create hate for one
community in the aim of supporting another.

Eugene McCarthy:
The things you've stated the guidance should do are already part of our party's guidance. I'd be concerned raising this motion creates the impression our antisemitism guidelines tolerate antisemitism, which they do not.
