    Jewish staff are the only religious group in the NHS workforce who report that they are experiencing growing discrimination by colleagues, the latest staff survey found. Some have been so distressed by their experience that they are considering quitting the service.

    Doubt…

      Other groups are experiencing the same amount as always. So technically the claim only the Jewish staff experiencing more can be true.

        So regular levels of discrimination are fine and don’t deserve to be investigated? Racism and Islamophobia are all good but antisemitism is where they draw the line?

          No, but it does allow for printing a misleading headline that is technically true.

            I don’t even think it’s technically true. The BIMA penned a letter to politicians late last year raising the issue of a rise in Islamophobia in the medical field and nothing has come of it (https://britishima.org/bima-writes-to-government-and-nhs-leaders-on-addressing-islamophobia-and-inequality/). Racists still target Muslims on a daily basis. Wes streeting is known to be funded by the labour friends of Isreal lobbying group. It’s not hard to see why he’s so concerned about antisemitism and not the religious group that have been targeted for years.

            The only reason antisemitism is on the rise is because of the action of Isreal.
