While I agree with the sentiment that we should treat all incidents of religious or racial hate-crime similarly and we shouldn't single out one particular group above another, the twitter commenter shown above is taking a ridiculous, vitriolic position not based in fact. Especially when Islamophobic hate-crime already has its own special category within hate crime legislation and the government publishes specific guidance around it in exactly the way this report wants for antisemitism:

This sort of relentless focus on anti-antisemitism studies and reports very much smacks of someone who themself can't distinguish between anti-zionist/anti-israeli genocide campaigns and actually just hating Jewish people.

Hate is hate, racism is racism. There are and should be no levels of them. Who makes the rules for what is more or less racist? Why should any be tolerated?

When I was 12 and an idiot in many ways, I might've responded to many racist words against me (I am of Sikh heritage) with racist words back because that's just a simple and natural response. The correct thing to do is to pull us both up on it equally and say both are wrong and get an equal punishment, or even better, education on why they are wrong to use. Now if that happens between a Sikh and a Muslim, both would be "equally racist". If it was between a Sikh and a Jewish person, then even if the Jewish person "started it", you are saying the Sikh should be punished more because one is worse than the other? How about if the antisemitism does not mention the holocaust?

It just doesn't make any sense to single one thing out when we have clear guidance and public acceptance on what is racism and that it should be stamped out.

It is good to point out that antisemitism is rising. However, any person making that argument cannot deny that islamophobia is also rising, as is anti-immigrant hate. We should be looking to combat all of it, overwise you are saying one group of people is more important that another, which is by definition racism.

You can't combat racism with more racism!

It is clear that antisemitism is being taken more seriously by the British establishment than any other forms of racism. Even on a personal level, I am often mistaken to be Muslim and suffer racism from time to time, and the Sikh community has suffered anti-Sikh racism. I am still supportive of stamping out all racism including antisemitism and islamaphobia.

Academics and International bodies agree that what happened and still happening in Gaza is genocide.

OAPs get arrested for holding up signs whilst a public group of white supremists with public Instagram accounts marching in hoods on our streets aren't even being tracked by the police:
