Prince Harry, the Duke of Sussex, says he is concerned by a “deeply troubling” rise in antisemitism in the UK. In commentary published by outlets including Sky News and the BBC, he warns that legitimate public anger about events in the Middle East should not translate into hostility toward Jewish people in Britain or toward Jewish faith and communities. The Guardian reports that his remarks distinguish between lawful or acceptable protest and antisemitic prejudice, and that he suggests confusion can arise when concern about the Middle East is treated as justification for hate or targeting individuals for their identity. The Mirror also reports he makes the distinction between protest and prejudice in a rare opinion piece, published in the New Statesman. Across the reporting, the common message is that people are entitled to express views and respond to international events, but they are urged to ensure their criticism is directed at appropriate targets and does not become discrimination or harassment against Jewish communities in the UK.
