by Patrick Sawer, TelegraphTower Hamlets ‘cropped’ the word from website page that promotes National Hate Crime Awareness WeekA London council left anti-Semitism off a list of hate crimes while including many other forms of prejudice, including transphobia and Islamophobia.
Tower Hamlets “cropped” the reference to anti-Jewish discrimination from a website page promoting support for National Hate Crime Awareness Week.
The word anti-Semitism has appeared on the council’s printed leaflet and other material promoting the annual awareness event, including a video.
But since 2021 it has not been included on a prominent council website image publicising the week.
The council states on a website page: “Hate crime affects all communities, and we all have a role to play in recognising it and responding swiftly.”
