>“It capitulated to the IHRA definition of anti-Semitism, which famously equates it with anti-Zionism and which even its lead author Kenneth Stern has now publicly criticised.”
Telegraph headline strikes again! The IHRA definition is ridiculously broad. The examples provided are:
>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. [if there’s any doubt it’s the second clause that is problematic]
>Applying double standards by requiring of it a behavior not expected or demanded of any other democratic nation.
>Drawing comparisons of contemporary Israeli policy to that of the Nazis.
Which is why no one should adopt IHRA definition of antisemitism. People should adopt [Jerusalem Declaration on Antisemitism](https://jerusalemdeclaration.org/) instead.

Given that the people who spent years making baseless claims that Corbyn was an “antisemite” are now supporting one of the worst crimes of this century, I’d say Sultana is entirely correct.

I don’t understand why being left-wing has become so much about which religion you support. When I was young being left-wing meant promoting secularism, not picking one religion over another.

Can’t we have a left wing party that wants to talk about something like I dunno left wing economic policy and how we bring the wealth distribution back towards the general public and away from the ultra rich and big corporations and property moguls?
Nah this just keep talking about Gaza and hand the next election and the remainder of our countrys assets over to Nigel Fromage on a silver platter

Corbyn was wrong to “capitulate” over the IHRA’s definition of anti-semitism, says Sultana. Fixed headline. The IHRA definition of antisemitism includes drawing comparison between Israel’s actions and that of Nazi Germany’s, which is where Sultana understandably takes issue.

Now that we see how readily the Israel lobby call scrutiny of Israel’s genocide ‘antisemitism’—in doing so weaponising antisemitism, which does nothing to make British Jews more safe—Corbyn is owed an apology by those who amplified the charge against him of antisemitism when he was LOTO.
