Lucy Powell wants every school in England to adopt the IHRA definition of antisemitism. Seven of its eleven examples are about Israel. We analysed the review as well as the 37 news articles about it. What the review shows: • Its longest section, 1,073 words, is about pupils and teachers showing support for Palestine with badges and flags. It mentions antisemitism twice. • 2,407 words on political impartiality. 267 on supporting the victims of antisemitism. • 23% of the review is about Israel, Palestine or political expression. In the staff conduct chapter, it is 60%. • It says a view held by 45% of British adults, that Israel treats Palestinians like the Nazis treated Jews, could be antisemitic. Source: a YouGov poll for the Campaign Against Antisemitism, September 2025. • Its terms of reference committed it to IHRA's definition of antisemitism in March, eight weeks before the call for evidence opened. • The review says there is "confusion around the boundary between legitimate political expression and antisemitism". It asked people that directly: 526 of 590 said they could tell the difference. It leaves that answer out. • 158 of 587 responses criticised the review, including its use of IHRA. It quotes none of them. • "Three in five Jewish pupils" rests on 70 students. • A charity named The Academic Study Group, whose only firm policy is opposing boycotts of Israel, lists Sir David Bell on its council. The terms of reference say he has "no conflict of interest". How the media framed it: • 27 of 37 reports named the IHRA definition. Only 4 quoted any of its examples about Israel. • None mentioned the 45% passage, the 158 critical responses or Bell's place on the Academic Study Group council. • Critics of the definition got 883 words across 37 reports, 828 of them from one NEU statement. The Community Security Trust alone got 1,119. • 9 reported any criticism of the definition. In 6, the only critic was the NEU. • 8 put badges, flags or political symbols in the headline or standfirst, in an attempt to reinforce the message that solidarity for Palestine is linked to antisemitism. • The Times cut "and the genocide in Gaza" from the NEU leader's words and put an ellipsis in its place. Antisemitism in schools is real, and Jewish children must be protected. A definition that cannot tell Jewish children apart from the Israeli state only benefits the Israeli state, by conflating the two and misrepresenting real antisemitism.
