Parliamentary @UKLabour Party votes to adopt International Definition of Antisemitism in defiance of @JeremyCorbyn’s allies’ rewritten definition
antisemitism.uk/parliamentary-…
.@GideonFalter, Chairman of CAA, said: “The Jewish community is best placed to define antisemitism and it overwhelmingly backs the International Definition of Antisemitism, which is why the British Government and numerous official bodies such as the College of Policing have...
...adopted the definition. We commend the brave Labour MPs who have stood up to their leaders today in defence of the Jewish community, and frankly in defence of decency. Tomorrow’s meeting of the NEC will be a watershed moment for the Labour Party. If it adopts its own...
... rewritten definition in defiance of its own MPs, it will be hard to see how those MPs or any decent person can remain within the Labour Party.”

Appalling double standard as @UKLabour NEC member @PeterWillsman let off disciplinary charges despite tirade accusing Jewish “Trump fanatics” of “making up” antisemitism
antisemitism.uk/appalling-doub…
Mr Willsman should have no input whatsoever into decisions about antisemitism in the Party. Furthermore, he should be expelled for his appalling tirade accusing the Jewish community and its rabbinic leadership of conspiring to falsify or exaggerate antisemitism allegations.
Instead of investigating Mr Willsman, he has been exonerated by Labour’s General Secretary, Jennie Formby, who was reportedly satisfied with an apology. He is now standing for reelection to the NEC along with other candidates, including some who have defended Ken Livingstone.

.@EuanPhilipps from @LabourAgainstAS: “They're trying to shift the goalposts again and make it easier for antisemites to stay in @UKLabour...It’s the politics of the 1930s.”
Theresa Villiers MP: “I find it truly astonishing that @UKLabour is ignoring the widely-held definition of antisemitism because it believes it knows best.”

CAA’s Demonstration and Event Monitoring Unit (DEMU) is gathering evidence at the pro-Hizballah “#AlQuds Day” parade. If crimes are committed we intend to take legal action to bring the perpetrators to justice. Please send your own photographs or videos to demu@antisemitism.uk.
Already police are having to deploy to keep various sides apart. As the pro-#Hizballah parade gets underway. #BanHizballah #AlQuds
To leave no doubt what this parade is really about, the organisers have been handing out placards declaring unity with Hizballah. How is @IHRC still allowed to be a charity @ChtyCommission? A disgrace.

#AntiSemitism emerges strongly when a civilization is in decline. It's like clockwork. This is not new—we've been seeing it for 2,000 years. We each need to ask ourselves how we may have contributed to our own self-destruction, and make the radical choice to love our neighbor.
The reason for this emergence is that when a culture is in decline, from fear, citizens refuse to look at their own contribution, and therefore must externally displace blame. Seeing it in almost every tweet about this evil shooting. Germany didn't get there in a vacuum; nor we.
Every case of Jew-hatred we see, from Charlottesville to Pittsburgh, is a symptom of our crumbling demise. It knows no political party; this hatred is systemic and murderous and we don't fight it with more rage. We fight it with love—getting in each other's lives in radical love.

The @UKLabour / @jeremycorbyn #antisemitism issue shows no signs of abating. Unfortunately, there is even a difference of opinion on why this is, which is why I've been incredibly reluctant to write anything about it. Regardless, here's my perspective: /1
My entire life, I have been opposed to racism and prejudice in any form. This was instilled by my upbringing, personal experiences and natural inclination to defend others facing prejudice. As a teen, I was the one in school who stood up to bullying whenever I saw it happen. /2
I fought my own fights and the fights of people too scared or small to take action. It was a natural instinct. It got me into some trouble, but generally, what I did was appreciated by the victims of the abuse, the parents of the victims, teachers, bouncers and even the police /3
