Let’s be honest about Britain’s obsession with “anti-Semitism” By Tony Greenstein

THE WEAPONIZING OF ANTI-SEMITISM AGAINST THE LEFT
Israeli sponsored Zionism excels in political white noise. Every-time the State of Israel engages in an atrocity or is being accused of an atrocity, the anti-Semitic volume control is turned up to drown out what is happening. When the brave Palestinians in Gaza decided to rattle their cage to draw the world’s attention to their… Continue reading

Anti-Semitism and “The Israel Project” By Askiah Adam
Israel is off-limits. The criminalisation of anti-Semitism means nothing short of this. In fact, France’s President Macron says anti-Zionism is a form of anti-Semitism and both are now legally defined as “hate crimes”. Will this be a global precursor?

Anti-Capitalism is NOT Anti-Semitism By Kit Knightly
Nobody is denying antisemites exists. There’s a small minority of people who hate Jews just for being Jews. This is unfortunate, but also true of every race, sexual orientation and religion.

The witchfinders are now ready to burn Corbyn By Jonathan Cook

The latest crude frame-up of Labour Party members as anti-Semites has provoked a furious backlash in Liverpool.
