Submission Documents: By Bailie Ade Aibinu:-
"This Council expresses alarm at the rise in anti-Semitism in recent years across the UK. This includes incidents when criticism of Israel has been expressed using anti-Semitic tropes. Criticism of Israel can be legitimate, but not if it employs the tropes and imagery of anti-Semitism.
Council therefore welcomes the UK Government's announcement in December 2016 and the Scottish Government's in April 2017 that it will sign up to the internationally recognised International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) definition on anti-Semitism.
Council considers this definition a helpful guide to the different manifestations of anti-Semitism and believes that this, and the current independent review of hate crime legislation by Lord Bracadale, promotes the prospect of combating anti-Semitism, which Council fully supports.
Council also notes ongoing support for the Holocaust Memorial Trust to promote holocaust remembrance and the work of the Hate Crime Working Group, which brings together local partners to combat hate crime. Racism and anti-Semitism in all its forms is unacceptable.
Council notes the enormous contribution of Glasgow's Jewish community to the City and welcomes the National Lottery funding to create a Jewish Heritage Centre in Garnethill Synagogue.
This Council calls on all political parties to support combating anti-Semitism in all its manifestations. Council notes that Jeremy Corbyn, the Leader of the Labour Party, has said sorry for 'pockets of anti-Semitism' in the Labour Party; the Board of Deputies of British Jews and the Jewish Leadership Council have, in an open letter, stated that there has been a 'repeated institutional failure' to properly address anti-Semitism in the Labour Party.
This Council hereby adopts the above definition of anti-Semitism as set out by the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance and pledges to combat this pernicious form of racism."
