London Assembly Votes 19–3 to Condemn Antisemitism and Reaffirm Support for the Capital's Jewish Community

The London Assembly voted 19–3 to pass a motion standing with London's Jewish community during a period of heightened tensions. Proposed by Susan Hall AM, the motion condemned a recent Green Party motion that defined Zionism as a form of racism, warning that such language risks legitimising extreme antisemitic attitudes, fostering division and deepening insecurity among Jewish Londoners. The Assembly reaffirmed that antisemitism must be challenged wherever it appears and that Jewish Londoners have the same right as every other Londoner to live openly, practise their faith and participate in public life free from fear or prejudice. Hall said the Green Party's policy "risks being a harmful rhetoric in British politics that must be opposed wholeheartedly." The Assembly also called on the Mayor to reaffirm his commitment to tackling antisemitism, engage directly with Jewish community organisations, and ensure that every Jewish person feels safe, valued and confident in calling London home.
