The Holocaust remains the ultimate consequence of racism -- yet anti-Semitism is a mere footnote to contemporary human rights agendas. In the United Nations World Conference against Racism, Racial Discrimination, Xenophobia & Related Intolerance (Durban, 2001) the UN's embargo on the inclusion of anti-Semitism created a rift between delegates, undermining the purpose of the gathering. This article discusses the origins of anti-Semitism, the roots of the Jewish community in GB, its links with Israel & recent attitudes toward Zionism. In GB, current racism parlance excludes anti-Semitism, which limits discussion of antiracism to color distinction. The article concludes with practice implications for British social services professionals denied opportunities to confront their own prejudices or understand the diversity of Jewish people.
