We urge the Government to adopt a definition of Anti-Palestinian Racism (APR) that is based on the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination (ICERD), & to launch an inquiry into APR and its impacts upon politics, the media, and disinformation & dehumanisation.

Many view Anti-Palestinian Racism as a significant and growing problem in the UK, manifesting at all levels of society and in multiple spheres. We believe this hatred reinforces oppressive & discriminatory systems that dehumanise and demonise Palestinians whilst also fracturing community cohesion. We also believe it damages good faith engagement on very sensitive issues relating to the Israel-Palestine conflict, creates division among UK communities and hinders free expression & respectful debate.
