A short thread on Mike Cushman – one of the principle organisers of Jewish Voice for Labour: the fringe extremist grouping that embraces Jew haters and Holocaust revisionists and yet is increasing its influence on @UKLabour.
Cushman has repeatedly posted material that is in clear breach of the IHRA definition of antisemitism and here I will document some of these and reference the relevant part of the IHRA definition.

A reminder that Labour has adopted the IHRA definition as has the UK Govt.
You can read the definition here:
holocaustremembrance.com/working-defini…
Firstly here Cushman breaches the following IHRA example:

“Accusing Jewish citizens of being more loyal to Israel, or to the alleged priorities of Jews worldwide, than to the interests of their own nations.”
Next Cushman breaches the following IHRA example:

“Accusing Jews as a people of being responsible for real or imagined wrongdoing committed by a single Jewish person or group, or even for acts committed by non-Jews.”
Cushman breaches this IHRA example:
“Making allegations about Jews as such or the power of Jews as collective such as, especially but not exclusively, the myth about a world Jewish conspiracy or of Jews controlling the media, economy, government or other societal institutions”
Next Cushman repeats the Livingstone line about Jews collaborating with Nazi Germany in order to promote Zionism.
Next Cushman breaches the following IHRA example:
“Denying the Jewish people their right to self-determination, e.g., by claiming that the existence of a State of Israel is a racist endeavor.”
Here Cushman again propagates the concept of a shadowy Jewish/Zionist lobby
Next Cushman again breaches this IHRA definition example:
“Accusing Jewish citizens of being more loyal to Israel, or to the alleged priorities of Jews worldwide, than to the interests of their own nations.”
Again Cushman breaches the IHRA example:
“allegations about Jews as such or the power of Jews as collective — such as, especially but not exclusively, the myth about a world Jewish conspiracy or of Jews controlling the media, economy, government or other societal institutions.”
Here Cushman both breaches the IHRA definition and brings the party into disrepute by alleging that @LFI takes instructions from the Israeli govt.
And again:
And yet again Cushman brings the party into disrepute by alleging some kind of Zionist/Labour plot.
On the basis of this evidence I am asking that @JohnMannMP report Mike Cushman to compliance for clear antisemitic posts in breach of the IHRA definition and for bringing the Labour party into disrepute.
