Rooting out anti-semitism on the left should be a duty for all of us and does not contradict solidarity with Palestine. JON LANSMAN argues that the Star got it wrong
YOUR editorial, “Stand up to Witch-Hunt” on Wednesday March 5, was an unwarranted attack on Momentum, Britain’s largest grassroots organisation of the left, which underpinned the campaign that so recently won an increased mandate for Jeremy Corbyn.
Written on the anniversary of Cable Street of all days, it failed to take seriously Jeremy Corbyn’s determination to rooting out the evil of anti-semitism.
It contained a number of factual errors, even larger errors of judgement, made an accusation of “political cowardice and confusion” and did so without speaking to anyone from Momentum.
