What responsibility does @guardian have to ensure the letters they publish are accurate? Because today they have published a letter about @TheIHRA definition of antisemitism that includes a straightforward lie. theguardian.com/news/2021/jan/…
It is not true that "the majority" of examples in the IHRA definition "do not refer to Jews as such". In fact 9 of the 11 examples refer to Jews. It is simply dishonest to suggest otherwise. 
It is true that some of these examples also mention Israel, and for good reason. If the signatories of this letter want to argue that (for example) it is not antisemitic to use the blood libel to characterise Israel or Israelis, be my guest. You won't get very far.
I would have a bit more respect for the people who tirelessly campaign against this definition if they were not so repeatedly misleading in what they claim it says and does - and it's scandalous that the Guardian helps them to do it.
