Like clockwork letter appears in @guardian from the same 100 Jewish people in support of someone suspended from Labour re: antisemitism, this time Chris Williamson.
A look at why some of them may take that position:
1/ Elleane Green, 9/11 truther of the Mossad did it variety.

2/ Tony Greenstein. Expelled from Labour for persistent use of antisemitic language.
3/ Norman Finkelstein. So unrepresentative must this opinion be within British Jewry they had to go to America. But fear not, Mr. Finkelstein has some great ideas, not just about how antisemitism isn't real but about how racist tropes about Jews are actually true. Lovely stuff.
4/ Glyn Secker, JVL. Who recently made a speech about British Jews which was so full of antisemitic tropes it was described as being akin to a Munich beer hall speech. @steve_cooke was even able to colour code them into different trope groups. Thanks Steve!
5/ Michael Morgan. apparently expelled from Lab in 2016. Purveyor of Nazi strength antisemitic rhetoric, talmudic antisemitism, expresses genocidal intent, Rothschild stuff, Christian antisemitism, you name it this guy's done it.
H/T @Steve_Cooke

6/ Nancy Mendoza. Co-founder of The Canary who have been heavily criticised for their conspiratorial output on antisemitism and have no problem employing a journalist who put out stuff like this.
7/ Robert Cohen. Author of piece heavily criticised for it's use of antisemitic language, including by Jewdas.
And with 3 terrorist plots foiled on Jewish premises , kosher shops firebombed, graves desecrated, you'd think Mr. Cohen would know we already have "real" antisemitism.

8/ Deborah Maccaby, recently on appeared on Britain's leading Holocaust denial platform, in conversation with a Holocaust denier, speaking to a large audience of antisemites, to tell them that antisemitism in Labour isn't really a thing. Nice one Deborah!
9/ Sally Eason. Suspended from Labour. Runner of troll account Lab Left Voice, defender of far-right antisemitic memes, conspiracy theorist, Jews having "corrupt genes" - Momentum's official account had to warn members to stay away from the account.
10/ Jackie Walker, suspended from Labour for a string of derisory comments about other Jews.

11/ Presumably so thin on the ground is Jewish support for Wiliamson they had to go back to America to get another academic to sign. This time Richard Falk, 9/11 truther, publisher of antisemitic cartoons, Gilad Atzmon amongst other things.
12/ Mike Cushman. Berger Escort Truther whom @daverich1 wrote a very helpful blog for CST regarding Cushman's conspiracy theories starring Jews.

Some people would call them antisemitic conspiracy theories, I'll let you be the judge.

And they are just the ones I know about, I'm sure there are more, just as I'm sure other Jewish people on that list would be appalled by the antisemitism of some of their co-signatories. It's down to the @guardian for repeatedly publishing these letters. It's beyond farce now.
And to save time: yes Jews can be antisemitic, don't @ me, no they are not the "wrong kind of Jews". Judging by the support for them within the Corbyn left, it's clear that vast majority of UK Jews who oppose genuine antisemitism are seen as the wrong kind of Jews.

Lovely.
