The cross-party group also highlighted the use of anti-Semitic terms online.
Last week, a Community Security Trust report said UK anti-Semitic incidents more than doubled to 1,168 in 2014.
The trust - which monitors anti-Semitism in Britain - says this was its highest figure recorded since it began work in 1984."

Just found out that there's an interesting situation at the moment between the police and lawyers. The police monitor forums, social networking sites, chat rooms, blogs etc.
Sometimes they do this covertly by using a non police registered ip address- lawyers are questioning the use of legislation regarding covert operations and this practice.
Also, lawyers are arguing that views expressed that are not intended for public consumption (even if they are accessible to the public) should not be treated as such.
A blog is defined as being intended for public consumption, whereas they argue that a facebook comment isn't (even if the persons privacy settings do allow the public to access to the material).
