Now that anti Semitism has been redined as opposition to Israeli apartheid, ethnic cleansing, genocide and a racist state ideology, you may have a point.

However, having taken part in half the 26 or 27 national Palestine demonstrations since November 2023, I have not seen anything that I understand to be anti Semitism in chants, placards or platform speeches.

And every one of those demonstrations ( of between 120,000 and 800,000 people - per Press Association, not the organisers or police) have had big contingents of Jewish people organised in the Jewish Bloc and other organisations, as well as thousands of Jewish activists who march as part of other groups. My regular coach always has a handful of Jewish socialists who help carry the Trades Council banner. Every march has at least one speaker who identifies as Jewish - and on one protest earlier this year there were at least four Jewish speakers.

The allegations of anti Semitism on these marches - from Tory, Reform and some Labour politicians, the majority of the ptint media, and other fans of Israeli genocide are plain shit. The thousands (tens of thousands) of Jewish participants are ignored or denounced as ‘ the wrong kind of Jew’. It is propaganda, a cover and deflection from daily crimes against humanity, and it is where the real anti Semitism is found.
