Last Friday, JLM, @UKLabour’s Jewish affiliate since 1920, asked every candidate for the NEC their views on the IHRA definition of antisemitism. We do not endorse any slate & our measures against @PeterWillsman were due to the extraordinary nature of his attack on British Jewry
@UKLabour @PeterWillsman Allowing Jews to define their own prejudice is a matter of principle. We advocate a vote for any candidate who takes this principled anti-racist stand & supports Labour immediately adopting the full & unamended IHRA definition of antisemitism in full, including all the examples.
@UKLabour @PeterWillsman So see the rest of this thread for the candidates’ responses, or lack of (in alphabetical order)…

It follows Campaign Against @antisemitism criticising then-leadership candidate Shahrar Ali, for what the organisation deemed an ‘offensive rant’ during a resurfaced Gaza demonstration speech made in 2009. Full story here: leftfootforward.org/2018/08/exclus… (2/x)

.@uklabour 1/16 JVL member spotlight: getting to know Steve Allen. He’s also organiser of Budapest BDS (the boycott campaign against Israel)
2/16 Allen attacks Margaret Hodge, using the sinister stereotype that she has loyalty to a foreign power: ‘Hodge will defend Israel come what may’
3/16 Allen also accuses @margarethodge of ‘faux indignation’ about antisemitism and ‘misusing’ it for ‘political’ reasons.

In other words Allen is saying she is untrustworthy, manipulative and has an agenda. Classic antisemitic characteristics assigned to Jews.

In my Guardian article yesterday I claimed that Corbyn and his team want to rewrite @TheIHRA definition on #antisemitism to neuter @UKLabour's own rule against antisemitism. This is key to understanding what they are trying to do and I'll explain it a bit more here /1
If a party member is disciplined for antisemitism it is always under the rule against conduct that is "prejudicial, or... grossly detrimental to the party." This used to be at the discretion of the NEC /2
This changed last September when party conference made the expression of antisemitism and other prejudice an automatic offence. The old rule is on the left, new rule on the right /3

1. A few comments on Jonathan Freedland's (@Freedland) often misleading piece on the antisemitism controversy and the Labour Party theguardian.com/commentisfree/… … #Antisemitism @medialens @MichaelRosenYes @tonylerman @CPMacL2008 @AaronBastani @michaeljswalker
2. Freedland says only people who say “Jews are Nazis” would contravene the IHRA definition. In fact, the IHRA definition is much broader, referring to “Drawing comparisons of contemporary Israeli policy to that of the Nazis” holocaustremembrance.com/working-defini…
3. Freedland says IHRA definition “explicitly says that if you criticise Israel the way you criticise other countries” it is not antisemitism. This ignores the testimony of Kenneth Stern, who drafted the definition that has morphed into the IHRA definition judiciary.house.gov/wp-content/upl…

I was wondering how far the #antisemitism issue in the Labour Party had moved on in the last few years, so I had a look through the @Gerasite archive
The suggestion that Corbyn himself has always simply been an honest broker, trying to find peace in (a small section of) the Middle East was dismantled by @DavidDPaxton thegerasites.wordpress.com/2015/07/21/the…
Do you remember the original line that nobody had ever encountered any antisemitism in the Labour Party? Owen Jones' tried that one, and a few other things, and @NudderingNudnik pointed him in the right direction thegerasites.wordpress.com/2016/03/16/owe…

#thread on @UKLabour NEC Code Conduct on #Antisemitism showing how opposition to it is wrong. Links from Dr Brian Klug, Moran Mandelbaum, David Feldman, Josh Nathan Kazis on Kenneth Stern, Rhea Wolfson, Jennie Formby and Jo Lansman
Firstly this is the NEC code here. Please read. It covers conspiracy theory antisemitism, the 'socialism of fools' and antisemitism masquerading as criticism of Israel. These are the issues that have crept into Labour from the conspiracy theory fringes. thejc.com/comment/analys…
Jon Lansman @jonlansman states the new code is "Labour’s antisemitism code is the gold standard for political parties .. The new code makes clear that discrimination against Jewish people is unacceptable while allowing for legitimate criticism of Israel " theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
