UK adopts official anti-Semitism definition as attacks rise

Theresa May has said the UK is adopting an international formal definition of anti-Semitism in an effort to tackle hatred against Jewish people. The Prime Minster said culprits were getting away with anti-Semitic behaviour or language "because the term is ill defined". Mrs May, speaking in London at an event held by the Conservative Friends of Israel, described the move as a "ground-breaking step" in the fight to tackle rising anti-Jewish attacks.
